Wooden Blind Measuring and Fitting Guides

Use your exact measurements

The more precise you are, the better. We will not accept responsibility for measurement errors when you order.

We offer guides for different types of measurements – Recess, Exact Blind Size, Bracket to Bracket or Perfect Fit blinds. For best results, use a steel tape measure or  laser measuring device (electronic tape measure) when measuring as other tape measures may stretch or bend, producing false readings.

For recess sizes, we make deductions to the blind size you provide to ensure the blind fits within the recess. (This is explained in greater detail below.)

Once you’ve got your measurements sorted, you can browse our full range to find the perfect style for your space, whether you’re after classic white blinds for a fresh, clean look, light wood finishes for a Scandinavian feel, or dark wood tones for a more traditional Dining Room aesthetic.

Please note: for recess sizes we would make deductions to blind sizes given to ensure the blind fits within the recess, this will be explained in more detail below.
