We recently had the pleasure of creating a set of hand-finished Roman blinds for a client in London who wanted to elevate their beautiful three-sided bay window. The brief was clear but detailed: could we ensure that the pattern was centralised and matched seamlessly across all three blinds?
It’s a request we hear often from discerning homeowners — and one we take great pride in delivering flawlessly.
Craftsmanship That Starts With Planning
Every great result begins with precision planning. Bay windows, while architecturally stunning, can present unique challenges when it comes to blinds. Each section must be measured to the millimetre to ensure a perfect fit and smooth operation. For this project, our team began by taking detailed measurements of all three window sections, accounting for angles, light flow, and mounting depth.
Once the dimensions were confirmed, we moved to the fabric layout stage. Matching patterns isn’t just about lining up designs — it’s about understanding how the fabric will drape, fold, and look in motion. Our craftsmen carefully plotted the fabric so the central motif aligned perfectly in the middle blind, with the side blinds continuing the pattern naturally on either side. The result: a seamless visual flow that feels calm, balanced, and beautifully intentional.
The Art of Pattern Matching
Pattern matching is a hallmark of high-quality blinds. It requires skill, experience, and a meticulous eye for detail. We treat it as standard practice, not an optional extra.
Throughout the making process, we kept our client updated by sharing work-in-progress photos — a small gesture that our customers really appreciate. It allows them to see their bespoke blinds taking shape and ensures full confidence in the final outcome.
By the time the blinds were installed, the pattern continued effortlessly across all three panels, giving the bay window a luxurious, unified appearance. The symmetry complements the client’s interior decor perfectly, adding warmth and sophistication to the room.
Choosing the Right Fabric for a Bay Window
Bay windows often serve as focal points in living rooms, bedrooms, or dining areas, so fabric choice is key. For this project, the customer selected a patterned fabric with soft neutral tones that worked beautifully with the surrounding colour palette. When choosing fabrics for bay windows, we usually recommend:
- Medium-weight fabrics that fold gracefully when raised,
- Subtle patterns that align well across sections,
- And thermal linings to help with insulation and light control.
Roman blinds offer the perfect balance of elegance and practicality — and with the right fabric, they can completely transform a bay window.
A Delighted Customer and a Beautiful Result
When we delivered and installed the finished blinds, our client was thrilled. The pattern alignment was flawless, and the blinds framed the bay window beautifully. The project demonstrated how thoughtful design and craftsmanship can make even the most complex windows look effortless.
