where to get cheap made to measure curtains and blinds?

Options
My wife and I have been to Paul Simon and Fabricland today looking for made to measure curtains and roller (or roman) blinds in the same fabric. We were surprised to find it was i.r.o. £600-£800.

Does anyone know anywhere (or any way) cheaper?

I understand Rosebys has now gone into administration...and the only other places I can think of are expensive places such as Debenhams, etc.

    Do you have a Dunelm Mill near you? They have quite a good range of ready-mades & made-to-measure curtains & blinds, to suit most pockets. I had some curtains made several years ago, by another firm, & when I costed up something similar at Dunelm (& at today's prices) they were noticeably cheaper.

    I have also made curtains myself - ordinary, straight ones, with basic tape at the top & am sure you can make simple blinds - try your library for soft furnishings books!

    unfortunately not. nearest one is about 50 miles away, but thanks anyway.
  • As a big fan of Dunelm I can recommend their made to measure service online, well worth having an online quote to see if they can do it cheaper for you.

    See their website link http://www.dunelm-mill.com/pages/ccs/ccs_step1.asp
