The living room spec, ordered by what matters
Every Handforth 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.
Our default living room specification
Across Handforth 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.
Who this page is for
Homeowners re-doing the front room with new sofas or after a decorator has left.
- A Victorian front room with a tall single sash and a marble fireplace.
- A 1930s splay-bay lounge where the previous shutters were badly mitred.
- An open-plan modern living-dining room with sliding patio doors.
In Handforth, that's usually a 1930s semi or a 1980s estate detached.
Living Room design notes
- Roman blinds soften a bay without the bulk of full curtains.

Property-fit proof
A specification shaped by 1930s semi openings
We start with the opening, not a stock package. In Handforth, that means accounting for 1930s semi, 1980s estate detached, modern new build and selecting frames, panel widths and materials around those constraints.

Common Questions
Frequently asked
Do you fit living room blinds in Handforth?
Yes — SK9 3 are on our regular survey run. 28 min from Stockton Heath, and living rooms are one of the most-quoted rooms across Handforth.
What does a Handforth living room blind project usually cost?
£220–£420 per living-room window. Whole-room Handforth projects sit inside the £2,000 – £5,500 band across the house. Every figure fixed and 90-day valid.
Which blinds suit a 1930s semi living room?
Roman blinds in dressed fabric is the usual default. Roman blinds soften a bay without the bulk of full curtains.
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 Handforth, that's the answer for the 1930s semis and 1980s estate detached we survey most weeks.
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 Handforth, that's the answer for the 1930s semis and 1980s estate detached we survey most weeks.
