What blind do you have in your kitchen & where from?

I need a blind for our kitchen but can't find anything I like from the samples I've been sent so far.
Kitchen is white cupboards, bluey grey worktops & white & blue floor tiles. The tiles on walls are 90's style yellow lemons/fruit bowl (!) but we can't change them at the moment.

We've re-painted the walls cream and want a blind to finish it off but am clueless when it comes to putting colours/patterns together.
All I know is we probably want a roller blind & will need to be made to measure.
Any suggestions please? If you bought online can you tell me where? Thanks

I've used Hilarys before. Someone comes to the house, measures and then you look through sample books and chose. A few weeks later he comes back and fits it for you. I've found the price massively comes down if you are doing any others at the same time - 7 black out blinds upstairs cost about the same as two blinds elsewhere in the house. There is cashback through TCB/quidco etc. and if there's nothing you like, then no pressure to buy. I hate drilling near windows, so the fitting is very attractive.

Thank you both. Millipede I do prefer the look of
Roman blinds but wasn't sure how
the material would bear up being in the kitchen with grease, steam etc. Are they ok for a kitchen and have you ever had to wash it? What colour did you get from that website?

www.blinds-2go.co.uk/roman-blinds/5525/dupioni-faux-silk-duck-egg.html have this one, my window is not really near to my cooker, so no problem at all with grease, it still looks like new, been up for around 2 years now.
