Make it personal
For windows that make a statement, the range of made-to-measure blinds, curtains and shutters at Hillarys offers a stylish solution for every home
Well-dressed windows are often described as the perfect finishing touch for a space – but we’d argue that they should actually be your starting point. Whether you have bi-fold, bay, standard, sash or bow windows, getting the right treatment can transform the look and feel of your home. When planning your interiors, begin by asking yourself what feeling you want that room to evoke. If you’re after a romantic touch, full-length curtains or voile Roman blinds will instantly soften a space, while wooden shutters can bring a contemporary feel to any room.
STYLES TO SUIT ALL
Gone are the days of having to choose between natural light, privacy and personal style: thanks to the variety of designs available from retailers such as Hillarys, you can now have it all. With options ranging from Day & Night blinds with movable sheer and opaque panels or Transition blinds that let you mix and match patterns, through to café-style shutters, you can create your own unique finish. Plus, as part of the Hillarys service, you can browse the full range of samples in situ at home, to make decisionmaking that much simpler.
PREMIUM QUALITY TESTING
Hillarys blinds, curtains and shutters are all rigorously checked to ensure they’ll stand the test of time. Fabrics are exposed to the equivalent of two to five years of sunlight (to check colour fastness) and a range of temperatures (to test durability and shape). Even the blinds’ mechanism endurance is tested up to 5,000 times for strength. Curtains and Roman blinds are hand-finished by the highly skilled team in Nottingham, not only to ensure quality, but also to support local talent.
BESPOKE FITTINGS
Our top tip? Ask your local Hillarys advisor to hang curtains or blinds around two inches below your ceiling for extra height, depth and impact. And if you love to layer when it comes to your wardrobe, you can do the same in your home. Rather than deciding between the two, contrast blinds and curtains to make a statement. You can mix two different prints to create texture, or opt for different levels of opaqueness to control the light in the room. Investing in made-to-measure window dressings is an easy way to breathe new life into your interiors, whether you like bold colour and pattern or prefer neutral hues that help create a sense of calm.
