blinds anyone?

LOML has blinds in his flat, I think they're fab. They're Roman ones though - I can find out where he got them if you like, it was def online.

Ooh, yes please - any recommendations most welcome! it's not something i've ever thought about before and there's so many choices!

Will let you know as soon as he mail me back.

We have vertical blinds in the lounge and metal horizontal blinds in the kitchen and they are fab. We used Hilarys blinds.

He used web-blinds.com. It's the online shop of these peoplew http://www.hillarys.co.uk/ but doesn't seem to be worknig atm.

Thanks SophieM.

Thanks Dangermouse as well - I shall google Hilarys blinds and see what they've got. How do you find the metal blinds? My husband is a bit worried they might feel a bit too 'officey' and harsh.

Sorry Sophie, only just saw your reply after I posted just now - looks like that's two recommendations for Hillary's, then!

thanks both x

We have vertical blinds in everyroom in the house, they're fab.

Thanks chids - may I ask where you got them from? x

If you get someone from Hillary's to come out to quote, never accept the first price they give you. You should be able to haggle them down a fair bit. They regularly have flyers in magazines and online offers anyway. A friend managed to get a £740 quote for 3 blinds down to under £500 without too much trouble.

I've got fabulous roman shades in my living room. They lift from the bottom or drop from the top. i.e you can have the bottom half of the window exposed or you can have the top half. It's brilliant for our flat because we're ground floor and quite close to the pavement so we can get natural light in to the room and still have privacy. I got them in America though but I think Hilary's might do them - they just didn't do my area!!!

I got a great deal from web-blinds about this time last year. I've been really happy with them (Roman blinds they are)

Fantastic - thanks everyone for your help and thanks KJB for the haggling advice! will get googling tonight! x

By metal I mean they are aluminium and they came in a variety of colours. We have spring fern, a green colour.
