How it's made
How a pleated blind works
Tap a number to see what each part does, and what you'll be choosing at your appointment.
1. Top rail that moves
On a top-down, bottom-up blind both rails move, so you can cover the lower panes for privacy and keep the sky.
Your advisor brings samples of every option to your window, so you can see and feel them before you choose.
Why this range
What Aldous does well
01
Built as blackout curtains
Cut and finished as blackout curtains 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 bathroom blinds, living room curtains — which is a better guide than any spec sheet.
Style notes
What Aldous is like, and where it works
Aldous is a bold geometric design built from repeating diamond shapes with a soft, bleed-edged watercolour finish. Photos show it made up as pinch pleat curtains rather than blinds, giving the pattern room to run in long, tailored folds. It suits a living room or dining space where the fabric can be the main event.
A large-scale geometric diamond print with a watercolour, tie-dye-like softness to the edges. The swatch shows a muted mauve-grey colourway (Vapour), while the room photos show a darker colourway in charcoal and olive-gold tones (closer to Gasoline) on heavy, flat-weave curtains hung in pinch pleat style.

Ideas for your home
Made-to-measure curtains for a bold living room
Against a deep teal wall and pale carpet, the dark geometric print becomes the focal point of the room, working well with dark wood and metal furniture.
the scale of the pattern and richness of the colourway give a plain wall real presence
Made-to-measure curtains for an eclectic dining room
Hung either side of glazed doors onto a garden, the pattern reads as a strong vertical frame against white walls and warm timber flooring.
the graphic repeat holds its own next to busy prints and mixed metals
- The catalogue photos show this fabric made up as curtains, not as blinds, so it's worth asking your advisor which product options are available in this print.
- The pattern is large in scale, so it will repeat differently depending on window width and drop.
- Colours: Gasoline and Vapour.

Good to know
Questions we get asked
There are two colourways: Gasoline, a darker charcoal and olive tone, and Vapour, a softer mauve-grey. Both keep the same diamond geometric pattern, just in different depths of colour.
The diamond repeat is large, so alignment depends on the width and drop of your particular window. Your advisor can talk you through how the pattern will fall once measured.
You can order up to five free fabric samples by post, or arrange a free home appointment where an advisor brings physical swatches so you can see the colour and texture in your own light.
A local advisor visits your home with samples, measures every window precisely and quotes on the spot. Once you're happy, our fitter installs them at a time that suits you — measuring and fitting are included free.
Lead times depend on the range, fabric and any customisation. Your advisor will confirm an exact lead time at the measuring appointment so you know precisely when to expect installation.
Yes — every made-to-measure blind, shutter and motor comes with a 1-year guarantee covering manufacturing defects.
Yes. Pick up to 5 colours you'd like to see and your local advisor will bring those exact swatches to your free home visit so you can see and feel them in your own light. They'll also bring a full range on the day if you'd like to compare more.
