There comes a moment - usually halfway through holding up a tea towel to block the morning sun - when even the most design-allergic of us admit we need blinds. It’s rarely glamorous. That sudden decision to cover a window tends to arrive after months of squinting, sweating, or peering out with all the subtlety of a 1930s stage villain. So, you go looking for a solution. That solution, increasingly, comes from a now-crowded category: home-delivered, made-to-measure, easy-install blinds. And of the many websites pedalling easy elegance, one of the more efficiently functional ones may surprise you: Blinds Direct.
Blinds Direct is, appropriately, not especially flashy. But it does offer a stripped-down, relatively painless way to cover your windows. You pick the style - roller, wood Venetian, vertical, day & night if you're feeling ambitious - note your measurements, select up to eight free samples (a nice touch), then wait for your made-to-measure blinds to appear. That’s the pitch, and to the company’s credit, they mostly deliver. Literally, too: free delivery comes on orders over £199, which - for anyone doing more than one window - isn’t difficult to hit.
For those moving fast (or simply unwilling to wait through another dawn through a skylight), a range of Next Day Dispatch options is available. They're limited in style, mostly basics like roller and vertical blinds, but they do show up quickly. Worth noting: "next day" here typically means dispatched - actual delivery can still take up to 2 days, particularly outside major cities.
The No Drill Blinds deserve their own paragraph, partly because they manage to feel both competent and faintly miraculous. Using either a twist-fit tension mechanism or adhesive brackets, StickFit blinds let you install them with zero tools and - more importantly - zero damage. Ideal for renters, or mildly DIY-averse homeowners who still carry screwdriver trauma from flatpack furniture adulthood.
Do they hold up over time? Mostly. Adhesives, being adhesives, aren’t built for eternity or excessive humidity, so maybe avoid sticking them to a bathroom window after a hot shower. That said, installation takes under 10 minutes and requires fewer skills than changing a printer cartridge. For the average home renovator, that’s reason enough to try them.
Then there are the motorised blinds. While the phrase conjures images of Bond villain lairs, these are less dramatic than that. Operated with a remote (or tied into your smart home setup via accessories), the motorised options are not a revolution. But they're discreet and - once configured - unfailingly convenient, especially if you’re dealing with high windows or hard-to-reach corners.
Prices for these, unsurprisingly, sit on the upper rung - but current discounts (up to 10% off, depending on category) and occasional voucher codes like BANK10 (10% off £100+ spends) ease the damage a little. Just don’t expect luxury-engineered silence: the motors hum audibly, though not intrusively. It’s more "polite bedside table fan" than "robot uprising."
Measuring your windows accurately sounds easy - until it’s not. Blinds Direct does offer guidance (complete with diagrams), and frankly they’d have to, given the brand’s business model involves handing fabrication over to you, the customer, with only a tape measure and blind faith (sorry). For those nervous about botching their first swing, there's MeasureSafe, a low-cost add-on that lets you replace mismeasured blinds once per order. It’s a kind of insurance, albeit without the paperwork and with more polyester.
Made-to-measure blinds are, understandably, not eligible for standard returns - unless they arrived damaged, or if there’s a manufacturing defect. That’s par for the course in this space, and a 3-year warranty at least adds a cushion of confidence. Just make sure your measuring tape is honest and your colour selections made in daylight, not midnight whimsy.
Right now, there’s the sitewide "BANK THE SALE" promo: 10% off all orders over £100 with the code BANK10. Not life-changing, but helpful at checkout. Other category-wide discounts - up to 30% off on selected lines - rotate quietly through the homepage, and the first-time sign-up £10 voucher adds another minor nudge toward committing. Nothing here screams "run, don’t walk," but for a sensible buyer outfitting a living room, it stacks up.
Blinds Direct isn’t category-defining, but it doesn't need to be. It offers a quietly competent set of solutions to a set of familiar problems: too much sun, too little privacy, not enough willpower to drill holes into a wall. The techier options (looking at you, motorised Roman blinds) offer convenience over novelty, and the No Drill line earns a rare nod of approval from people who normally approach adhesive-backed products with suspicion. Delivery is fast enough, samples are actually free, and the interface does not ask you to "Join the Journey" or "Live Beautifully" - which, in a market drowning in lifestyle aspiration, is a small relief.
Your windows won’t be transformed into art installations. But they will stop blinding you at 6AM. And sometimes, that’s the best offer of all.
