Hi, do you know if they send out sample swatches as they don't mention it on their website. I will contact them to check of course, but just wondered if you knew. I am after a darkish red. The one on the site looks really light - almost pink, but I know that the colour on pics and on computer screens can be very deceiving.

I don't know. I can't see it on their website either but we have a branch near us so we never need swatches. If I were you I'd drop them a line here http://www.harrycorry.com/contact-us.aspx

We buy all of our blinds, cushions, bedding, curtains, curtain poles and accessories here and have done for years. The only comparable place we've found is Debenhams. We've recently bought two roller blinds, both white. One a blackout and the other not. Looking at the blackout blind from inside or out you can't tell but if you feel it you can tell it's heavier than a normal blind.

Thanks, I've emailed them, so hopefully will get a response soon.

Homebase do coloured black out blinds (coloured on both sides), I have used them in the past.

If you are going for cheap ones, you'll generally find they will be shiny on one side. Pay a bit extra if you want them to look better. And if you want to be certain, buy them from a shop where you can see what you're ordering.

No they don't, the colour is on the inside only. I've put of them up this week.

Anyone have any experience with Very? They state their blinds are coloured both sides and have metal tubes, so sound reasonable quality. Just trying to see if they do fabric swatches too, as the picture on their website isn't too good.

Sorry, I was basing it on the navy blue ones I bought from them in the past. They must have changed supplier.

You might want to look on various parts of this forum for posts about very.co.uk
Some of them that I've read would put me off using them.
