The living room spec, ordered by what matters

Every Timperley 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 Timperley living room

Across Timperley 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.

Property-fit proof

A specification shaped by 1930s semi openings

We start with the opening, not a stock package. In Timperley, that means accounting for 1930s semi, Edwardian terrace, park-side detached and selecting frames, panel widths and materials around those constraints.

Common Questions

Frequently asked

Do you fit living room blinds in Timperley?

Yes — WA15 6, WA15 7 are on our regular survey run. 25 min from Stockton Heath, and living rooms are one of the most-quoted rooms across Timperley.

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.

What does a Timperley living room blind project usually cost?

£220–£420 per living-room window. Whole-room Timperley projects sit inside the £2,000 – £5,500 band across the house. Every figure fixed and 90-day valid.

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 Timperley, that's the answer for the 1930s semis and Edwardian terrace 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 Timperley, that's the answer for the 1930s semis and Edwardian terrace we survey most weeks.
