The living room spec, ordered by what matters
Every Lowton 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 Lowton 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.
Details that matter
- Roman blinds soften a bay without the bulk of full curtains.
- 50mm wooden venetian in a warm stain sits well against timber flooring.
- Cassetted blackout roller behind a curtain lets you use both — the roller for TV glare, curtains for evening dressing.

Property-fit proof
A specification shaped by 1930s semi openings
We start with the opening, not a stock package. In Lowton, that means accounting for 1930s semi, 1970s detached, modern estate and selecting frames, panel widths and materials around those constraints.

Common Questions
Frequently asked
What does a Lowton living room blind project usually cost?
£220–£420 per living-room window. Whole-room Lowton projects sit inside the £1,700 – £3,800 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.
Do you fit living room blinds in Lowton?
Yes — WA3 1, WA3 2 are on our regular survey run. 20 min from Stockton Heath, and living rooms are one of the most-quoted rooms across Lowton.
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 Lowton, that's the answer for the 1930s semis and 1970s detached we survey most weeks.
Can we match the shutter colour to our decorator's paint?
Yes — we colour-match to Farrow & Ball, Little Greene, Dulux or a chip you provide. Small surcharge; specified on survey day. In Lowton, that's the answer for the 1930s semis and 1970s detached we survey most weeks.
