George Clarke

George’s favourite way to dress a bay window is with shutters. You can adjust the shutters in each panel to change the amount of light coming in and the privacy available. And thanks our Custom Colour option, the choice of colour is yours and you can find the exact shade that goes with your room.

George Clarke says the last thing you want when dressing a Crittall window is to hide even a part of the smart, delicate frame. So he went for curtains, which tuck away beside the wall and leave sight lines open all the way through to the frame.

Even when fully open, curtains at this full-width window would block part of the view and the light. Instead, George doubled up with blinds. The Acacia Ice Roller blind offers privacy while still letting in a lovely diffuse light and the Tetbury Charcoal Roman blind does the job of curtains, but in more space-efficient way.

George believes the best way to get results with wide windows like these is to stick to your goals. Your objectives might be light control, privacy or insulation, such as offered by the Tetbury Charcoal Roman blind. Or maybe, like George, you’re especially taken with the tech in the motorised Acacia Ice Roller blind.

In his own 1960s home, George Clarke enjoys the sense of privacy granted by the Acacia Ice Roller blinds and the way they diffuse sunlight during the day. And at night, he loves closing the Bardot Grey Charcoal curtains to create a more intimate and cosy space.
