Make My Blinds

Made-to-measure blinds sold online from a UK factory

Make My Blinds is a British online retailer of made-to-measure window coverings. The company presents itself as selling directly from its own factory, which it frames as the basis for its pricing and for a manufacturing process in which each blind is made by hand to the customer's exact specification. Its catalogue spans blinds, shutters and curtains, and the site is built around ordering online after measuring the windows at home.

The range is organised by product type, colour, room, window shape and function, so a customer can start either from the kind of covering they want or from the constraint of the space, such as a bay window, a conservatory, a bi-fold door or a roof skylight.

Blind types in the catalogue

The blind range is broad and covers most common domestic formats:

• Wooden, Venetian and vertical blinds, the latter described as made from aluminium and available in large sizes and waterproof blackout fabrics.
• Roller, Roman and pleated blinds, with blackout, thermal and waterproof options.
• Day & Night and double roller blinds, which combine two layers of fabric for light and privacy control.
• Honeycomb blinds and skylight blinds, the latter listed as suitable for Velux, Fakro, Rooflite and Dakstra windows.
• Electric blinds, presented as an automated option controlled at the touch of a button.
• An Everyday Value line, positioned as a stripped-back budget range with simple designs and low prices.

No-drill systems and Perfect Fit

A significant part of the offer is built around fittings that avoid drilling. The company groups several systems under this heading: Perfect Fit, Twist Fit, Clip On, Stick On and StickFitLite. According to the site, these are installed without screws, do not damage window seals and are suited to bi-fold doors, French doors and tilt-and-turn windows. Clip On blinds are described as clipping directly onto UPVC frames and being available in Venetian and pleated versions, while StickFitLite is presented as a peel-and-stick option in aluminium.

Shutters and curtains

The shutter collection is organised by style — full height, café style, tier-on-tier and door shutters — and by material, with real wood and PVC options. A hardwood shutter range is highlighted as a recent addition, aimed at customers willing to install the shutters themselves, with step-by-step guides provided for DIY fitting. Curtains are also sold, in eyelet, pencil pleat, single pinch pleat and wave headings, with thermal and blackout performance options and a range of fabrics including cotton and faux silk.

Samples, measuring and installation support

The site provides free fabric samples that are posted to fit through a letterbox, so customers can see colours and materials before ordering. Measuring and fitting are supported with dedicated how-to guides broken down by blind type, alongside instructions for setting up electric blinds. A MeasureSure Cover is offered as an add-on: if a measuring error is made, the company states it will replace the blinds free of charge when the cover has been purchased with the order.

Delivery, guarantee and price promise

Orders are dispatched from the factory, with next-day dispatch available on selected blinds at no extra cost and next-day delivery on selected products. Delivery is free on orders over £299, while standard UK delivery is priced at £9.99. The company advertises a five-year product guarantee, describing it as a replacement commitment if a blind does not last as expected, and a lowest price guarantee framed as a price promise. The site also states that it holds a rating of "excellent" on Trustpilot with more than 35,000 five-star reviews, a figure attributed to the information published on the site at the time of writing this profile.

Markets and currency

The store serves the United Kingdom in pounds sterling and also lists Ireland with prices in euros, indicating that orders can be placed for both markets. The company describes itself as making its blinds in the UK.
