Made-To-Measure Blinds and Curtain Installation Before Christmas

Make An Impression This Christmas With Brand New Blinds and Curtains

Drawing made to measure blinds or made to measure curtains doesn’t just shut out the dark - it finishes the room. It feels warmer, quieter, more private; the kind of festive cosy that makes guests linger.


If you’d like that feeling in time for Christmas, we’ll help you get there without the last-minute scramble.

Energy-Efficient Curtains and Blinds for Winter

Cosy, Comfortable, Cost-Smart: Why You Should Invest In New Curtains and Blinds Before Christmas

Warmth is a feeling as much as a saving. The right window blinds and curtains make nights feel cocooned, calm and private.

Curtain linings add weight and warmth. Blackout curtains and thermal curtains help rooms feel snug after dusk.

Close-fit reduces draughts. Roman blinds sit near the glass to keep lines crisp and the chill down.

Slim insulation helps cold panes. Pleated blinds add a discreet thermal layer you feel the moment you draw them.

Christmas Curtain and Blind Fitting FAQs

Questions You May Have About Curtains and Blinds Installation Before Christmas

  • Can I really get made-to-measure blinds and curtains fitted before Christmas?

    Yes - but only if you book soon. Lead times vary depending on fabric choice and fitting schedules, so the earlier you arrange your design visit, the better your chance of guaranteed pre-Christmas installation.

  • How long does it take from measuring to fitting blinds and curtains?

    Typically, from survey to installation takes 2–4 weeks. Express options may be available for certain blind styles if you’re short on time before Christmas.

  • Are made-to-measure curtains and blinds more expensive than ready-made?

    While the upfront cost can be higher, made-to-measure ensures perfect fit, better insulation, longer durability, and a professional finish. Many customers find they save money in the long run by reducing heat loss and avoiding replacements.

  • Which blinds and curtains are best for keeping my home warm this winter?

     Thermal curtains, blackout curtains, roman blinds, and pleated blinds are all excellent at keeping heat in and draughts out. Choosing interlined or thermal-lined fabrics adds an extra layer of insulation.

  • Can I get blinds or curtains for bay windows and conservatories before Christmas?

    Yes, made-to-measure solutions are designed for tricky spaces like bay windows, patio doors, and conservatories. Early measurement is key to ensure pre-Christmas fitting.

  • What are the best blinds for privacy and cosiness during the festive season?

    Roman blinds and venetian blinds are popular choices. Roman blinds create a warm, fabric-rich look, while venetian blinds let you adjust light and privacy levels easily when hosting guests.

  • Do blackout blinds work well for guest bedrooms?

    Absolutely. Blackout blinds and curtains are ideal for Christmas visitors, ensuring restful mornings and cosy evenings - especially in east-facing bedrooms.

  • I’m worried about too much choice - how do you help narrow it down?

    We bring curated swatches and recommend 2–3 options per room based on your style, lighting, and usage. That way, you’re never overwhelmed but always confident in your decision.

  • What happens if my blinds or curtains aren’t ready before Christmas?

     We’re upfront about realistic timelines at survey stage. If Christmas installation isn’t possible, we’ll book the earliest available fitting and keep you updated so there are no last-minute surprises.

  • Why choose a local East Midlands fitter instead of ordering online?

    Local, made-to-measure fitting ensures precision measurements, expert installation, and accountability from start to finish. You’ll also see real fabric samples in your home - something online shopping can’t replicate.
