Me again. Still can't decide how to do this.

One bedroom window is 270cm wide. Most blinds only go up to 250cm. Would it look better to split this into three (Roman) blinds or two ?

(I've split a similar span into two in our lounge and I'm not it looks right - something about odd numbers looking better?)

I'd like to replace the curtains we have as there's so much fabric each end they get in the way.

Our windows are huge (not a stealth boast, just far too big for our house, they look weird) - over 3m wide and we got roller blinds made for the bedroom from 247blinds online. They're blackout blinds and are excellent quality and fit. If you're looking for an option of just one blind.

Lurking - thank you !

I'm pleased with the Roman blinds we have from 247 blinds so I'll take a look. To be honest I'm not a massive roller blind fan, but I'm sure I can get over it - especially if it blocks out the sun at 5am.

Ha, me either but I've got them in all three kids rooms to avoid early wakings and I'm debating putting them in my room too as I usually have one of them in with me 🙄

One of the DC's has just broken one of the blinds in their room so we will replace from 247blinds too.

#LurkingQuietly don't suppose you remember which fabric you had ? All the blinds I've looked at on the 247 website so far only go up to 250cm.... I've emailed them but they aren't really an email centric company ..

@didireallysaythat so sorry, manic week. Try the origin blackout? I've had that in 299, and 310cm widths before.
