Renovating roller blinds

1 reply

In the middle of a big revamp and running out of budget fast.

We have two wide roller blinds in the kitchen which came with the house. They work fine -need a good scrub though.

However they aren't in the colourway/design that I would like.

Has anyone any tips for replacing the fabric? which type of fabric? I don't have a sewing machine.

I did see a good video on you tube where a woman replaced the fabric but she used a 'ripstop' fabric which doesn't need hemming at the edges. However I can't find any in a suitable colour.

Having just about finished renovating our new house I completely understand re budget, it just runs away with you. I have had things like curtains etc altered to save but I think with roller blinds it’ll probably cost you more to buy the fabric than picking up cheap blinds in somewhere like Ikea.
You could also have a look at somewhere like Blinds2Go and their cheaper fabric ones. I’ve had roller, vertical and Roman blinds from them recently and they’ve all been excellent - the roman and roller were brand name fabrics but I’m sure their own are just as good having had hundreds of samples from them 😂😂
