How it's made
How a roller blind works
Tap a number to see what each part does, and what you'll be choosing at your appointment.
1. Roller and brackets
The fabric winds onto a tube held by two small brackets, inside the recess or on the wall above it. Which one suits your window is settled when it's measured.
Your advisor brings samples of every option to your window, so you can see and feel them before you choose.
Why this range
What Kensington does well
01
Built as blackout blinds
Cut and finished as blackout blinds for your exact window, rather than trimmed down from a stock size. The mechanism is sized to the drop, so it hangs straight and stays that way.
02
2 colourways to compare
Colour behaves differently in north light, in the evening and against your walls. Pick the ones you like here and your advisor brings those exact swatches to the visit.
03
Chosen for real rooms
Customers most often put this range in bay window curtains, bedroom curtains, door curtains — which is a better guide than any spec sheet.
Style notes
What Kensington is like, and where it works
Kensington is a plain neutral range covering both roman blinds and a choice of curtain headers, shown here as a soft cream roman blind and full-length pinch pleat curtains in a warmer oatmeal shade. The fabric has a gentle woven texture that works equally well as a single dressing or layered with a blind underneath. Suited to bedrooms, living rooms and bay windows where a quiet, tailored look is wanted.
A plain, neutral weave in soft off-white and warm oatmeal tones, with a subtle textured finish that reads as understated and calm rather than patterned.

Ideas for your home
Made-to-measure roman blind for a home study
A quiet, uncluttered window dressing for a desk area with pale walls and warm wood floors, letting daylight in without competing with the room.
The plain weave and neat folds sit well in a working space where a simple, non-fussy blind is wanted.
Made-to-measure pinch pleat curtains for a dining room
Full-length curtains framing garden doors in a dining space furnished with dark wood and woven seating, the neutral tone allowing the outlook to remain the focus.
Pinch pleat curtains in a warm neutral give a dining or garden-facing room a tailored, finished edge.
Made-to-measure curtains for a country bedroom
Long curtains either side of a countryside-facing window in a bedroom with upholstered furniture and soft lighting, the fabric colour echoing the muted palette of the room.
The soft neutral shade and full length suit a calm, traditional bedroom setting.
- Available as either a roman blind or as curtains in a choice of headers including pencil pleat, pinch pleat, eyelet and wave.
- Comes in two neutral shades, Shingle and Pearl, so samples are worth comparing against your own walls and flooring.
- Listed as blackout and thermal, so it suits bedrooms and rooms where light control and warmth retention matter.
