What actually matters in a living room

Every Brooklands living room project we quote hinges on the same set of questions:

  • How it looks from the street closed and open
  • TV glare from a west-facing window
  • Handling a bay window without visible gaps
  • Matching an existing paint or wood tone

Fabric quality is the difference between 'nice' and 'obviously cheap' — we stock 200+ Prestigious and Louvolite fabrics you can handle before ordering.

The short list for a Brooklands living room

Across Brooklands living rooms we mostly fit:

  • Roman blinds in dressed fabric
  • Wooden venetian (50mm)
  • Vertical for wide bifolds

Roman blinds soften a bay without the bulk of full curtains.

50mm wooden venetian in a warm stain sits well against timber flooring.

Common questions

Answers before you call

Do you fit living room blinds in Brooklands?

Yes — M33 3 are on our regular survey run. 28 min from Stockton Heath, and living rooms are one of the most-quoted rooms across Brooklands.

Which blinds suit living rooms in an Edwardian villa?

Roman blinds in dressed fabric is the usual default. Roman blinds soften a bay without the bulk of full curtains.

What does a Brooklands living room blind project usually cost?

£220–£420 per living-room window. Whole-room Brooklands projects sit inside the £2,200 – £6,000 band across the house. Every figure fixed and 90-day valid.

Will full-height shutters make the room feel dark?

Not if the louvres open flush against the frame — a well-specified shutter loses less light than a half-drawn curtain. The key is the louvre size and how far the panels fold back. In Brooklands, that's the answer for the Edwardian villa and park-side detached properties we survey most weeks.

How do we handle a splay bay?

Templated on site, mitred posts, section-per-window with matching louvre lines across the whole bay. It's the single thing cheaper installers get wrong. In Brooklands, that's the answer for the Edwardian villa and park-side detached properties we survey most weeks.
