New Roller Blind Collection

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

With Winter just around the corner now is the perfect time to add warmth and style to your windows.

We have just launched our brand new collection of Roller blinds! We’ve listened to what you have to say and have put together a great range, offering more choice than ever before. Don’t just take our word for it, we have over 200 Roller fabrics to choose from, including new sheer fabrics, new pulls and more beaded options and a metal chain option in three shades, we are sure you’ll be impressed.

Our Blackout blinds collection is bigger and better than ever before!

Blackout blinds are a great way to block out the winter sun and are perfect for lazy lie-ins. We have increased the choice of our plain collection and back by popular demand are two old favourites – Dancing Bears and Night Sky – perfect for a baby’s bedroom, nursery or playroom. You will find smart contemporary prints that will look great in other rooms too, we have also introduced subtle designs that give a pearlised finish and a subtle shimmer at night when the lights are on.

For something a little special!

We have introduced three completely new ranges of sheer fabrics that gently filter the light and offer a stylish alternative to net curtains. These fabrics are great for allowing light to filter into a room and still provide privacy.

Make an appointment with a Hillarys advisor to view the complete range.

Friday, October 31st, 2008

We’re often asked for our top tips for choosing blinds below is a bit of a guide to choosing the perfect blind for your needs.

Venetian blinds

Great for creating a modern look and filtering the light effectively. 25mm is the standard slat width, for larger windows try 35mm or 50mm. If you want to black out more light go for 15mm.

Vertical blinds

Ideal for bay windows as we can create curved headrails that fit your specifications. They are also great to use as room dividers and in awkward windows as they can be made to any shape.

Roller blinds

A really functional blind, rollers can be accessoried with poles, pulls, beading and different shapes making them the ultimate personalised blind. They can be used to hide away storage shelves and cupboards.

Roman blinds

Romans are ideal in the cooler months and can even help save on your heating bills. They come in 4 options - unlined, lined, blackout and cascade. Use in bedrooms and living rooms.

Pleated blinds

The best choice for conservatories – as matching roof blinds can be made – however they are also good throughout the home, especially in bathrooms.

Woodweave blinds

A great decorative blind woodweaves gently filter light – making them ideal for creating an ambience to a room. Add tape for extra detail.

Credit Crunch – transform the space in your home

Monday, September 29th, 2008

As we all start to watch our finances a little more carefully, it seems a good idea to divulge some hints and tips on how to improve the living space in your home. There are so many things you can do to improve your home and they don’t have to be difficult or complicated, so here are some ideas on how to transform the space in your home for a minimal cost.

Venetians and vertical blinds

Vertical and Venetian blinds are a great way to turn one room into two. It is also very cost effective. Create a walk-in dressing room in no time or you could even make your own little “quiet” corner with minimal effort.  A great place to start looking is Hillarys who have a wide range of these blinds to choose from regardless of what style you are looking for.

Roller blinds

Another great way to save space is to install roller blinds as wardrobe doors, or any other door for that matter. No swinging doors, nothing to obstruct it and it looks great as well, so why not have a look around and see what would work for you!

These are only two ways to create more space and atmosphere in your home and it really couldn’t be easier. Now you can simply roll down your blinds if you are getting fed up with the glare of a computer screen constantly in the corner of your eye. It can also be great for dinner parties and will allow you to split your dining room into two, a handy trick when the kids have left a lot of things lying around!

Do your windows look good naked?

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

Thanks to numerous style makeover shows, Sarah Quilliam, head of product design for Hillarys, believes that a large proportion of the nation’s female population are likely to know their body shape and how to dress it but wonders if the same is true when it comes to making the most of their home’s best asset.

“We’re learning how to dress our pear, apple or hourglass physique to best effect and maybe even how to relax and relish in looking good naked!” says Sarah.

“But are we as savvy when it comes to dressing and accessorising our homes? Many of the same principles of proportion, colour and style can be applied to one of our home’s greatest assets – the windows!

“Like bodies, it’s very unlikely that any two windows will be identical and even in the same house it’s very probable that they’ll be a variety of different styles, shapes and sizes. Before deciding on what window dressing to use, first consider the shape and proportions of your window in relation to the rest of the room and whether its position may pose any limitation on the type of treatment you can use.

“Here are some rules and tips for highlighting their assets and minimising their flaws -  and, if you are indeed tempted to practise how to look good naked then you really do need to make sure that your window at least is properly dressed!”

Personalise your rented home with a blind

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

As costs for food and homes are rising its hard for people to afford to get on the housing ladder, meaning that many more people are choosing to rent a home for long periods while they save up to buy one. But when its a rented home can you really make it your own space?

You don’t want to spend a fortune on expensive items to decorate a home that isn’t yours but living with someone elses style is not ideal. Many landlords are happy to let you redecorate to some degree as long as you check with them first. Instead of changing whole rooms why not think about buying a few key items that will have a big impact on the style of your home.

Web-blinds.com has a great range of affordable and stylish blinds that can transform any room – you measure and fit yourself making it really easy to remove when you want to move out and take your blind with you. Try a Wooden Venetian blind or a bright roller blind for great style mixed with practicality.
