When decorating a room, finding the perfect blind fabric can sometimes be more difficult than choosing the blind itself.
Perhaps you've already fallen in love with a fabric used elsewhere in the room. Maybe you're working with a specific interior design scheme, or perhaps you've found a unique material that simply isn't available from standard blind collections.
That's where own fabric roller blinds offer a truly bespoke solution.
What Is an Own Fabric Roller Blind?
An own fabric roller blind is exactly what it sounds like.
Instead of selecting from a manufacturer's fabric range, you supply your own fabric, which is then professionally laminated and manufactured into a fully functioning roller blind.
The result is a blind that is completely unique to your home and perfectly coordinated with your interior design.
Perfect for Coordinated Interiors
One of the biggest advantages of own fabric blinds is the ability to match fabrics throughout a room.
Many customers choose to use:
Curtain fabrics
Cushion fabrics
Upholstery fabrics
Soft furnishing materials
Designer fabrics
This allows the blind to become part of the overall design rather than a separate feature.
Ideal for Difficult Colour Matches
Even with thousands of fabrics available commercially, finding the exact shade you want can be surprisingly difficult.
Own fabric blinds allow you to:
Match existing furnishings
Continue a design theme
Complement wallpapers and paint colours
Create a unique statement piece
Can Any Fabric Be Used?
Not all fabrics are suitable for roller blind manufacture.
Generally, fabrics should be:
✔ Stable and reasonably durable
✔ Free from excessive stretch
✔ Suitable for lamination
✔ Able to roll neatly around a tube
Some heavily textured, very delicate, or loosely woven fabrics may not be suitable.
Before ordering, we recommend reviewing our Fabric Suitability Guide.
Measuring Is Simpler Than You Might Think
Accurate measurements are essential for a professional finish.
Whether you're fitting inside a recess, outside a recess, or within a sash window frame, taking a few careful measurements is all that's required.
A Truly Bespoke Blind
Unlike many off-the-shelf products, an own fabric blind is created specifically for your project.
This makes it an excellent choice for:
Interior designers
Period properties
Renovation projects
Unique room schemes
Coordinated soft furnishings
No two projects are ever quite the same.
Things to Consider
As every supplied fabric behaves differently, the final result can vary depending on the material chosen.
While every effort is made during the lamination and manufacturing process to achieve the best possible result, customers should carefully assess the suitability of their chosen fabric before ordering.
