Window shade history may not be top of your interest list!!!

I was watching a western programme last night set in 1884 and I noticed they had roller blinds in their homes and places of business. This got me thinking about the history of the blind.

Roller blinds have been around since the 18th-century. During the 19th-century blinds were being mass produced and there was a larger variety of fabrics. The 20th century has brought many innovations and features, advanced fabrics, motorization, and smart home integration.

Roller blinds are still one of the most popular window dressings. From humble beginnings to modernised smart home systems.

We have lots of beautiful fabrics to choose from. All out blinds are bespoke, made to measure. We offer a free measuring and fitting service and are one of the only blind manufacturers left in Bournemouth. Come and visit us in our lovely show room. I promise I won't bore you with a history lesson!!!

We are back this week after a great break over the festive period.

It's certainly been cold, the glorious sunshine is making these winter days so beautiful.

Great advise from BBSA. Open blinds in the day and close at night. Just look at the difference it makes.

If you would like to learn more about how window dressings can keep your home warmer during these winter months please come visit us in our show room or give us a call. Happy to talk you through all the great options available.

It's a chilly start to 2026.

Despite the cold, there's quite a lot of sunshine across the UK today so don't miss out on free energy from the sun.

Open blinds and shutters during the day to benefit from the warmth and energy from the sun to heat your home. When the sun goes down, close blinds to help prevent heat escaping through your windows. ☀️

Heat loss through windows can be reduced by up to 33% with shading.

January is typically one of the coldest months of the year, so be shading smart. ❄️
