Blinds in your conservatory

Conservatories are found in a great many homes these days. They allow the homeowner to enjoy the beauty of outside whilst not having to experience the inclement weather associated with it, and they also act as a means of providing privacy to the otherwise exposed conservatory. Privacy can be bolstered with the installation of blinds; Roman, Venetian or otherwise.

Considering the range of sizes, orientations, and layouts of conservatories, custom installation is a good option once you’ve made the decision to have some blinds installed. This will allow perfect blinds for your conservatory to be fashioned, meaning no sunlight will come through the borders.

Blinds in this context are not only suitable for conservatory windows either; roof blinds are a great way of regulating temperature (keeping it warm in winter and cool in summer). Regardless of the style of the roof or shape of the panels, custom blinds are a convenient way to solve this problem.

Perhaps the most appealing aspect of blinds is their cost. They are a cheap and favourable alternative to curtains, as they can be made to suit any room’s existing décor with relative ease. Different styles can be employed where necessary; wooden blinds to suit panelled rooms, metal blinds to suit modern rooms, plastic blinds for the bathroom, etc

So, why not make the decision today and have some custom blinds installed in your conservatory?

How to Make Roman Blinds

Roman blinds are highly fashionable window coverings that are timeless and attractive. Instead of spending a lot of money on them at a retail store or designer boutique, they can be made for the price of some wood and fabric. The project is simple enough even for someone inexperienced in the DIY field.

Materials:
A length of wood to go over window frame, no wider than 25mm
Lining fabric
Outer fabric
Glue
Battens
Plastic Loops
2 cords, both should measure twice the window’s height.

The first step is to take the piece of wood and cut it so that it crosses the top frame of the window. It must then be installed with whatever mountain materials are appropriate for the wall.

The fabrics selected for the Roman blinds should be about as thick as a good table linen. If it were to be too thin, the folds would not bend correctly. The fabrics should be cut to the dimensions of the window, plus 15mm to both the width and height. This extra fabric is necessary to fold and sew seams.

The two pieces of fabric must then be pinned together, with the ‘correct’ sides facing one another. They will later be flipped out, like a pillow case. It is then necessary to sew around the curtains about 15 mm from the edge. However it is important to leave a gap to allow space to flip inside out. The excess fabric around the edges should then be cut off in order to keep the blinds from looking stuffed.

Now they are ready to turn inside out and be ironed. While doing this, it is important to ensure that the liner fabric does not get turned forward at the seams, allowing it to show from the front. The opening may now be slip-stitched and Velcro be laid across the top edge of the fabric. The basic shade is now complete.

To turn it into Roman blinds, the first step is to mark horizontal lines where the pleats should fall. Stiffening material, also known as battens, must then be glued on the pleat marks. These stiffening materials are not required, but will enhance the beauty of the fold greatly.

Once the glue dries, it is time to sew plastic loops evenly in two vertical lines unto the battens. Many fabric stores sell plastic loops which are already attached to a cotton tape, which is much easier than sewing.

The cords must now be thread through the loops. A screw eye bolt must be attached to the wood at both points where the cord touches the top. The shade can now be attached to the wood. Staples or Velcro often work the best. Once attached, the cords must be pulled through their eye bolts. Once the cords have been threaded through all the eye bolts, one of them needs to be threaded through the opposite eye bolt so that the shades can be raised or lowered from one side. The blinds need to be lifted and lowered a few times to get the folds to bend just right. It is fine to iron the fabric at this point to correct any folds as well.

“Netram Pradhanam Servendriyanam” Face is the valuable present given to the humankind by the Almighty, so said Master Krishna to Arjuna in Geeta. This can’t be truer!
