in In my home (includes DIY) MoneySaving
I want to replace the old tatty venetian blinds which were in the house when we moved in. I want to replace with the white wooden ones but would like to buy online rather than a local company coming to quote.
I'm having new windows fitted in the next 3 weeks as well as other work done and the the builder will fit them so I just want to order and have them delivered.
I have looked at some online but it's not always easy to tell the quality from a picture so I wondered if anyone has purchased them online and would recommend.
Thanks.

    Do you want wood or wood-effect?

    I looked at samples of both and have decided on the second to replace some old metal ones.

    Tanks for the reply. I would be happy with wood effect if they look ok.  Have you been looking online or have you found a local shop or chain where you can buy them to fit yourself?

    Thank you. I did look at 'Blinds to go' and will get samples. Problem was when I was on the website it wouldn't let me look at the reviews for some reason. Probably just a glitch.

    We bought from The Range, good range of sizes and same price as on line.  White plastic ones.

    The ones I have bought so far have been fab, parents have used them too and my mother would make Hyacinth Bucket look common.

    Ive bought white wood effect blinds from both Blinds2go and 24/7 Blinds, both equally as good as each other. Get samples from both.

    +1 on Blinds2Go, we bought blinds for both bedroom and living room. All arrived on time, great quality. Will be ordering again from them soon.
