Go for something a little different with our range of metallic blinds, available in favourite metallic shades including gold, silver, bronze and rose gold. These blinds add a luxurious, decadent touch to any room, making them ideal for living rooms and dining rooms. They are also a fun choice for children's bedrooms and invite a dash of shimmer and light into your home.
Metallic blinds work well in both heritage homes and contemporary spaces, adding a sense of understated drama to a room and defining a window space, especially when perfectly partnered with white paint. Neutral tones tend to allow the expressive shimmer of a metallic Roller or Roman blind to come to the fore, but these elegant inclusions also harmonise with stronger, more vibrant colours.
Adding metallic blinds to a beige or brown interior lifts these cosy colours and gives them an added dimension. The metallic elements also interact with natural light, bringing a shimmer into a room and adding interest and dynamism. When paired with contemporary colours such as grey paint, they can create an interesting juxtaposition between the warmth of the metallics and the coolness of the grey. Metallics includes gold and silver, but also look for rose gold, which partners colours such as teal and sage green beautifully for a vintage interior. Graham & Brown metallic blinds are made to fit your exact requirements, creating a focal point in a room and a polished, professional look in bathrooms, kitchens, and living rooms.
Frequently Asked Questions
What measurements do I need to provide for my blinds?
Use a metal measuring tape and record your measurements in cm.
Measurements must be accurate for a perfect fit. We will make the necessary allowances to ensure the blind fits the window/door*
Decide on how you want the blind fitted – ‘Recess’ is within the window/door frame or ‘Exact’. For further information, please ready our measuring guide.
Measure the width first, then the drop in 3 places.
Check for obstructions and ensure enough room for blinds to fit.
Double check your width and drop measurements to ensure accuracy.
We offer two of the most popular types of blinds: roller blinds and roman blinds. The difference between these blinds is the way in which they extend - roller blinds can be rolled and unrolled, whereas roman blinds fold upwards and downwards in pleats. They are also made from different fabrics: roller blind fabric is stiffer and has a blackout coating applied, and roman blinds are soft with an extra lining to make them blackout.
What lining do I need for my curtains or roman blinds?
We offer various lining options for our made to measure curtains and roman blinds. Each has its own practical properties while also enhancing the overall look and feel.
Our standard lining is the most affordable option and is used solely to enhance and give your main fabric a backing, helping to protect the fabric from direct sunlight by filtering out the light in the room whilst also creating a nice drape. This light filtering option is lightweight and produces a soft natural glow in daylight hours. Available in ivory for curtain and roman blinds.
Our satin finish lining is medium weight that gently filters out light whilst creating an improved drape and finish. Satin lining is available in ivory and white for curtains and roman blinds.
Our bonded satin is a medium weight satin lining that adds thickness and helps with insulation. A thicker layer is attached to a satin lining which provides insulating properties and improves the feel and quality of the roman blind. Available in ivory for roman blinds only.
Our blackout/thermal lining is a specialised heavyweight lining option that is used to eliminate light from the room when drawn. It also helps protect the main fabric from direct sunlight to avoid fading. Our blackout/thermal lining helps keep the room cool in summer by reducing the amount of light dispersing into the room, and during those colder months, it helps retain heat, making this a fantastic choice for bedrooms. Other benefits include reducing energy consumption and noise pollution. This option is ideal for windows and doors with a draft and gives a beautiful drape and finish. Our blackout/thermal lining is available in two colours, ivory and white for curtains and roman blinds.
Our bonded blackout adds thickness and helps with insulation whilst eliminating light from the room. A thicker layer is attached to a blackout lining which provides insulating properties and improves the feel and quality of the roman blind. Available in ivory for roman blinds only.
Manufacturing tolerance & allowances?
Your width measurement is the total product width including the mechanism.
Recess roman blinds: 1-1.2cm will be removed from the overall width and drop so the blind fits comfortably. Please note, the gap between the edge of the fabric and the edge of the cassette is roughly 3mm on each side.
Recess roller blinds: 1-1.2cm will be removed off the width only. If you have selected a cassette, the width of the blind will be the width of the cassette and not the width of the fabric.
Cassette roller blinds: the gap between the edge of the fabric is roughly 2.5cm on the control side, and 2cm on the non-control side.
If you want your blind to be a certain length, then please choose an exact measurement blind.
