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 Alcove 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
Chosen for real rooms
Customers most often put this range in bedroom curtains — which is a better guide than any spec sheet.
03
Measured and fitted by us
One team measures, makes and installs. If something isn't right, there's nobody to pass you on to — we come back and sort it.
Style notes
What Alcove is like, and where it works
Alcove is a bold geometric fabric in a warm sepia brown with an ivory diamond trellis pattern. The heavy, textured weave gives it a tailored, substantial look, shown here made up as full-length pleated curtains against a tall window. It suits living rooms and bedrooms where a strong pattern can anchor the scheme.
A warm tan-brown ground with a bold ivory diamond and zigzag geometric pattern, woven with a slightly textured, tactile finish.

Ideas for your home
Made-to-measure curtains for a bold living room
Works well against warm timber floors and deep-toned velvet upholstery, where the diamond pattern adds pattern and warmth to a low-lit room.
The strong geometric print gives a plain-walled room instant character without extra accessories.
Made-to-measure curtains for a warm bedroom
Suits a bedroom with muted or dark walls and natural wood furniture, where the earthy tones and pattern bring depth against simple bedding.
The heavier weave and tailored pleat give a bedroom window a settled, finished look.
Made-to-measure curtains for a study or snug
Pairs with leather armchairs and dark wood shelving, where the rich brown and ivory pattern adds a layer of texture to a smaller, cosier room.
The dense pattern and warm colouring suit a room meant for reading and relaxing rather than bright, open living.
- Available in the single Sepia colourway shown, a warm brown with an ivory geometric pattern.
- The photographs show the fabric made up as full-length pleated curtains, so consider this against the range's listed product types before ordering.
- An advisor can bring this fabric to your home along with free samples to check the pattern scale and colour in your own light.

Every window measured on site, so the finished drop is right rather than nearly right.

Our fitter installs it, squares it up, checks the operation and takes the packaging away.
1-year guarantee
