Custom fit window coverings are popular with homeowners because they provide a cleaner appearance, a more precise fit, and better overall performance than ready-made blinds. Since they are made specifically for each window, they reduce light gaps, improve privacy, and offer better insulation and blackout coverage.

This is especially valuable in Plymouth, Devon, and Cornwall, where many homes have bay windows, older cottage walls, conservatories, or unusual window sizes that standard blinds might struggle to fit properly.

Additionally, Made to Measure Blinds also give homeowners more choice in materials, colours, and functionality, including moisture-resistant blinds for damp coastal homes, blackout options for bedrooms, and Perfect Fit systems for uPVC windows and conservatories.

To accurately measure windows for custom blinds, first decide whether the blinds will sit inside the window recess or outside the frame. For inside-fit blinds, measure the width and drop in three places – top, middle, and bottom – and use the smallest measurement to ensure the blind fits properly. For outside-fit blinds, measure the exact area you want to cover and add extra width and height for better light control and privacy, usually around 5–10cm on each side depending on the style.

However, with SW Blinds, you don’t have to worry about getting the measurements right – we’ll do them for you!

The most popular styles of Made to Measure Blinds in UK homes are Roller Blinds, Roman Blinds, Venetian Blinds, and Day & Night Blinds. Roller Blinds remain one of the top choices because they are affordable, versatile, and available in blackout, thermal, and moisture-resistant fabrics, making them suitable for almost any room.

Roman Blinds are especially popular in living rooms and bedrooms because they add softness, warmth, and a more luxurious feel, while Venetian Blinds are widely chosen for kitchens, bathrooms, and bay windows thanks to their durability and adjustable light control.

Day & Night Blinds, also known as Vision Blinds, are also in trend because they combine privacy and light filtering in one design.

Faux wood blinds are generally considered the best option for condensation and damp rooms because they are moisture-resistant, easy to clean, and won’t warp, crack, or swell like real wood. Made from PVC or composite materials, they are especially popular in bathrooms, kitchens, utility rooms, and coastal homes across Devon and Cornwall where humidity and condensation are common. They also give the appearance of real wood whilst being far more durable in humid conditions.

Other good choices include aluminium Venetian Blinds and waterproof PVC Roller Blinds, both of which handle steam and splashes well and are easy to wipe clean. Fabric-heavy blinds, untreated natural materials, and real wood blinds are usually less suitable because they can trap moisture and develop mould or warp over time.

Good ventilation also matters; even moisture-resistant blinds last longer when rooms are properly ventilated, and condensation is regularly reduced.

The best blackout blinds are usually Roller Blinds, honeycomb (cellular) blinds, and Perfect Fit blackout blinds because they provide the strongest combination of light control, privacy, and insulation. Blackout Roller Blinds remain the most popular choice in UK homes because they are affordable, simple, and highly effective when fitted correctly.

For bedrooms, nurseries, loft rooms, and homes with strong early morning light, many homeowners now choose Perfect Fit or honeycomb blackout blinds because they sit closer to the frame and improve insulation as well as darkness. Cassette systems, layered curtains, and professionally manufactured Made to Measure Blinds tend to deliver the best overall blackout performance.

For bifold doors, the best blinds are usually Perfect Fit Blinds, pleated or honeycomb blinds, and motorised roller blinds because they work well with large glass panels and frequent door movement.

For conservatories and VELUX windows, thermal and blackout performance become more important. Pleated, thermal, and Perfect Fit Blinds are widely recommended for conservatories because they help regulate temperature while still allowing flexible light control.

For VELUX roof windows, made to measure blackout blinds and solar or electric blinds are among the most popular options, especially in loft bedrooms where early morning light can be strong. Homeowners frequently choose integrated systems designed specifically for VELUX frames because they fit securely and operate more smoothly than standard blinds.

The safest blinds for children and pets are cordless blinds, motorised blinds, and spring-operated (tensioned) systems because they remove or fully conceal dangling cords and chains that can create strangulation or entanglement risks. Modern safety standards strongly favour ‘safe-by-design’ blinds with no accessible loops, and cordless designs are widely recommended for homes with young children or animals.
