    Have a look at 'perfect fit' blinds.

    It's probably easier to get roller blinds cut to shape for that end window.

    I've never considered that @JIL but seems like a possibility as the windows are double glazed! Thanks so much :)

    Another vote for perfect fit blinds. We have them in our bathroom where there was an awkward area in the window reveal. Not cheap though if you have them professionally installed.

    This is the second time you have posted the same link in this thread. It was marked as spam then, and will be tagged as such again.

    Congratulations on getting such a high spam count in just a few days (currently at 34).

    Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –
