Fitted to PERFECTION

You can find stylish, tailor-made curtains and blinds at Hillarys

-

Abeautiful­ly dressed window takes a decorating scheme to a whole new level, setting the tone for the entire room. For success, blinds and curtains need to be just right and knowing they are expertly crafted is a big plus for George Clarke. ‘As an architect, I know that when it comes to home transforma­tions, your windows are key,’ he says.

Personal service

George found out more about Hillarys from customer Sheryse who ordered made-to-measure blinds for her new home. ‘It was a blank canvas and I didn’t know where to start, but I just clicked with our local Hillarys advisor,’ she says. ‘Paula came round with swatch books and had some great ideas about design choices and colour schemes, also helping me to make best use of the space. The service was a smooth transition from the first appointmen­t when Paula measured my windows, to the speedy making up service and return visit when she expertly fitted all of our blinds.’

Hillarys goes the extra mile to ensure your curtains and blinds are unique, offering a selection of headings and linings and suggesting cushions to complete the room, all tailored to suit your personal style and budget.

Take a tour

On a visit to Hillarys’ Nottingham factory, George got to see just how the process works. Guided by senior product manager Yvonne Keal, he experience­d first-hand how fabrics – from a huge selection of patterns and colours inspired from all around the world – are expertly turned into made-to-measure curtains and blinds. ‘The finished curtains are quality checked before they leave the factory floor to make sure they are absolutely perfect before they go to the customer,’ says Yvonne. ‘When they are delivered, the local advisor will then fit and steam them to make sure the pleats hang perfectly.’

Precision fit

Whichever room you’re updating, Hillarys has practical solutions to make life easy. Bedroom curtains and blinds can be made up with blackout lining to block the light, aiding restful sleep. If the living room is chilly, select pleated blinds that trap warmth, layering them with curtains backed with a cosy insulating lining to ward off wintry draughts. For kitchens and bathrooms, Hillarys shutters come

in waterproof UPVC versions that will shrug off any moisture. Perfect Fit roller, Venetian and pleated blinds sit within the frame of UPVC patio doors or windows for a neat, minimal look. They simply clip into place, no drilling required, and they have no cords so are a great choice if you have small children. And if any of your windows are hard to reach, Hillarys’ automated roller blinds can be opened and closed at the touch of a button.

Hillarys takes care of everything – all you have to do is sit back and admire your home’s new look. Plus, since everything at Hillarys is crafted to order, a precision fit is guaranteed, whatever the size and shape of your window.
