Advice Guides for Curtains, Blinds, Shutters and Blind Screen

A showroom experience, without the showroom visit.

Choosing curtains, blinds, shutters or Blind Screen® is easier when you understand the options before booking. These honest, practical guides answer the questions we hear most, from new build homes, shutter costs and bedroom blinds to bifold doors, bay windows and whether curtains or blinds are best for a room, so you can feel confident before Ria arrives.

Why a home consultation helps you decide

Guides are a great starting point, but nothing beats seeing the options in your own home. We bring the showroom to you: Ria brings fabric books, blind samples, shutter finishes and Blind Screen® options, so you see how each one looks against your walls, your flooring and the light the room actually gets. She looks at the rooms, the windows, your privacy and light needs, your style and your budget, then helps you choose curtains, blinds, shutters, Blind Screen® or a combination. No pressure and no obligation, just honest advice and a clear written quote.

  • Seen in your own light

    Colours and fabrics read very differently at your window than on a screen.

  • Room by room

    Privacy, light, warmth and how the room is used, considered window by window.

  • Honest advice

    Including when a simpler option would do the job just as well.

  • A clear written quote

    Measuring, supply and fitting in one price, to consider in your own time.

Advice people were glad they took

“On the day, Ria arrived fully prepared with color samples, tactile material options, and even a physical shutter section. Having tangible samples in hand made choosing the perfect style so much easier. … The entire process was seamless, and we were kept updated with friendly and exceptional one-to-one service …”
Fab Brio, Google review
“Ria is extremely knowledgeable and professional, and her advice throughout the process was excellent. She took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and guided me with great care, without ever making me feel pressured.”
Angie OSullivan, Oundle, Google review
“I have just had my whole house fitted with Ria’s interiors and I highly recommend her! I had Venetian’s, perfect fit and electric motorised blinds fitted and they all look fantastic. Ria was extremely helpful at initial consultation and helped me select all the different options and what would look best in my home. She is very friendly and professional and her prices are considerably better than the big companies!”
Louise Sanderson, Google review
