To make the most of your blind choose accessories to match the colour and fabric. For example, in your bedroom, try to co-ordinate the sheets on the bed and the vases on the bedside table.

Recess: This is the measurement to use if you want the blind to fit inside a window recess. If you specify a recess measurement, most blinds companies will automatically make a tiny adjustment to ensure that your blind fits perfectly.

If you want to wash aluminium blinds, use a damp cloth or sponge and a mild detergent or cleaner. Use warm or cold water - never use hot water. Make sure that you tilt the slats. Protect the floor or sill from excess water. The blind can also be taken down, placed in a bath tub of mild soapy water, then rinsed clean, wiped dry, or allowed to dry completely in the open air.

Venetian blinds are the ideal solution for bathrooms where there can be moisture and humidity.

When you measure the window opening for your blinds clearly indicate which measurement is the width and which is the height. It is easy mix these measurements up! Always measure the width first, then height.
