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 Malmesbury 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
5 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 bedroom curtains, door curtains — which is a better guide than any spec sheet.

Ideas for your home
Made-to-measure curtains for a modern dining room
Pair it with warm wood furniture, pale walls and black or dark metal lighting for a simple, grounded scheme. It also suits large glazed doors where the fuller drape can frame the opening neatly.
The dark plain fabric adds weight and contrast without introducing pattern.
Made-to-measure curtains for a calm bedroom
Use it with soft white walls, oak bedside tables and layered neutral bedding for a restful look. The subtle texture keeps the scheme from feeling flat.
Its plain woven look is easy to live with and sits comfortably with other quiet neutrals.
Made-to-measure curtains for a light garden door
This lighter shade works well with pale flooring, simple wood furniture and plenty of daylight. It keeps the window area looking soft rather than stark.
The gentle texture gives a plain neutral curtain a little more presence.

Questions we get asked
The palette listed for this range includes Charcoal, Ivory, Silver, Smoke and White. In the images, the fabric is shown in lighter ivory-toned and grey swatches, plus a darker charcoal curtain in a room setting.
Because the fabric is plain with a soft textured look, it suits a wide range of spaces. It works especially well in bedrooms, dining rooms and on glazed doors where you want a calm, tailored finish without pattern.
You can ask for up to five free fabric samples to compare the colours and texture at home. If you would rather see it in your room, a home appointment can be arranged with measuring, samples and a written quotation.
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.
