Our range of roller blinds mix functionality with style. Easy to use and install, these blinds are the perfect fit for any window in your home. Use calming neutral colors and patterns in bedrooms, and add a splash of color to a bathroom with our leafy greens and sea blues.
Roller shades immediately may conjure up images of sunny kitchen and bathroom windows, where their practical design keeps them out of the way, and their construction makes them super-easy to maintain. But it’s time to think bigger when it comes to roller shades from Graham & Brown. These elegant window coverings can make a big impact in larger spaces where you would traditionally use curtains to cover a window. Fabulously rich patterns and intense jungle and heritage designs perfectly partner bold color schemes featuring purple, blue and green. Accent the window frame with classic white or contemporary gray paint, and you immediately turn that stunning design into a piece of art.
Roller shades also add a modern look to home offices, nurseries and spare rooms. They’re quick and easy to install, instantly transforming a space while still allowing you to let in just the right amount of natural light. Pair a vibrant design with textiles to match, or choose plain colors that match your walls to give a sense of unbroken elegance. Large or small, plain or patterned, Graham & Brown roller shades introduce a contemporary flourish into your home.
Frequently Asked Questions
What measurements do I need to provide for my shades?
When ordering your Made to Measure shades online, simply follow the below steps to ensure accuracy.
Only use a metal measuring tape and record your measurements in cm.
Measurements must be accurate for a perfect fit. We will make the necessary allowances to ensure the shades fits the window/door*
Decide on how you want the shades fitted – ‘Recess’ is within the window/door frame or ‘Exact’ is to your desired point on the wall outside of the window/door frame. If you are opting for a blackout shade and you would like it to sit as close to the wall as possible, we advise that you order an ‘Exact’ fit blind instead of a ‘Recess’ blind.
Always measure the width first (across the window) and then the drop (top to bottom) in 3 places.
Record your measurements in the same order.
Look for any obstructions such as handles and ensure you leave enough room in front and there is enough space for the blind to fit into the recess.
Finally, re-check your width and drop measurements to ensure accuracy.
*Please Note: Your width measurement is the total product width including the mechanism.
Recess roman shades: 1-1.2cm will be removed from the overall width and drop so the shade fits comfortably. Please note, the gap between the edge of the fabric and the edge of the cassette is roughly 3mm on each side.
Recess roller shades: 1-1.2cm will be removed off the width only. If you have selected a cassette, the width of the blind will be the width of the cassette and not the width of the fabric.
Cassette roller shades: the gap between the edge of the fabric is roughly 2.5cm on the control side, and 2cm on the non-control side.
If you want your shades to be a certain length, then please choose an exact measurement blind.

What types of shades do you offer?
We offer two of the most popular types of blinds: roller shades and roman shades. The difference between these shades is the way in which they extend - roller shades can be rolled and unrolled, whereas roman shades fold upwards and downwards in pleats. They are also made from different fabrics: roller shade fabric is stiffer and has a blackout coating applied, and roman shades are soft with an extra lining to make them blackout.
What lining do I need for my curtains or roman shades?
We offer various lining options for our made to measure curtains and roman shades. Each has its own practical properties while also enhancing the overall look and feel.
Our standard lining is the most affordable option and is used solely to enhance and give your main fabric a backing, helping to protect the fabric from direct sunlight by filtering out the light in the room whilst also creating a nice drape. This light filtering option is lightweight and produces a soft natural glow in daylight hours. Available in ivory for curtain and roman shades.
Our satin finish lining is medium weight that gently filters out light whilst creating an improved drape and finish. Satin lining is available in ivory and white for curtains and roman shades.
Our bonded satin is a medium weight satin lining that adds thickness and helps with insulation. A thicker layer is attached to a satin lining which provides insulating properties and improves the feel and quality of the roman shades. Available in ivory for roman shades only.
Our blackout/thermal lining is a specialised heavyweight lining option that is used to eliminate light from the room when drawn. It also helps protect the main fabric from direct sunlight to avoid fading. Our blackout/thermal lining helps keep the room cool in summer by reducing the amount of light dispersing into the room, and during those colder months, it helps retain heat, making this a fantastic choice for bedrooms. Other benefits include reducing energy consumption and noise pollution. This option is ideal for windows and doors with a draft and gives a beautiful drape and finish. Our blackout/thermal lining is available in two colours, ivory and white for curtains and roman shades.
Our bonded blackout adds thickness and helps with insulation whilst eliminating light from the room. A thicker layer is attached to a blackout lining which provides insulating properties and improves the feel and quality of the roman shades. Available in ivory for roman shades only.
