Custom Roller Blinds Aurora Village – Free Installation

Partly, and it depends on the window. An inside mount puts the brackets on the top of the reveal, so the holes land on a surface nobody sees and the face of the casing stays untouched. That is what we do in most heritage rooms. Where the depth is not there, the fixings have to go somewhere, and the wall above the casing takes them better than the trim does. Filled holes in plaster disappear. Filled holes in old varnished wood do not.

There is a choice and it matters more in an old room than people expect. A plain aluminum bar is the default and it reads as hardware. A bar wrapped in the same fabric disappears into the blind, which suits a room where the woodwork is meant to be the only hard line. There are also weighted enclosed bars for wide windows. We bring the options to the measure because photographs never show the difference.

They can, if the fabric is wrong. A flat white vinyl roller in a room with 1890s casings looks like it was bought for a different house. A textured linen-look weave in a warm neutral reads much closer to what belongs there, and a fabric-wrapped bottom bar helps. Keep the blind inside the opening so the wood frame is still the thing you notice.

A water mark is one of the harder ones, because what you are seeing is usually the mineral content of the water left behind after the fabric dried, not dirt. Try a barely damp cloth with cold water, blotting from the outside of the mark inward, and let it dry hanging down. Do not use soap on a coated fabric. If the mark stays, we re-cover the tube with fresh cloth and everything else on the wall is reused.
