Need help sourcing a ready made roman blind for a boy's bedroom..

Next have a lovely one for a girl but nothing in the boy's range...

ideally blue, red and white - stars, stripes or spots or something...

or plain blue or gingham.

Any ideas?

I can only find plain ones in red...

Would rather not pay more than £50. Width anywhere from 1m - 1.2 m, and drop of about 1.2m.

TIA

(Keeping my fingers crossed that someone can point me in the right direction!)

I know you said you wanted ready made but I've used this company for custom mades for DD's bedroom windows and they are fab. They do a gingham and spotty fabrics. You'll pay about £70 for a 1m by 1.2m drop blind but if you custom fit the blind to the recess it would prob be smaller. P&P is free. They are great ime.

I had quotes from about 5 different blind companies for DD's room, most around the £450 - £500 mark (big awkward 16ft bay). I got her custom blackout romans for just over £300. Very impressed indeed.

Try good/bad old ebay maybe

You could also try Paul Simon maybe? Or Laura Ashley direct?

As someone who used to work in the blinds dept. at habitat, I'd advise hanging the blind outside of the recess, as roman blinds never fold up very tightly (which is part of the appeal of the look) so it's good to hang them about a foot above the window so you don't lose the light coming in.

Happy shopping!
