Lifestyleblinds.co.uk

Lifestyle Blinds.com is a comprehensive website that offers an extensive range of made to measure blinds. They offer all types of blinds in many different fabrics, colours and finishes. It is possible to order a swatch for the blind you are thinking of buying before committing yourself to the purchase. This site is aimed at buyers who know what they want and what they are doing. There is a measuring guide and fitting guide available to download, and getting a quote for your blind is quick and easy.

There is a huge range of blind options available, all in the made to measure format. This site does not sell ready made blinds. Once the buyer has their measurements, obtaining an estimated price quote is quick and easy and available at the click of the mouse. They have many special offers on and UK delivery is free. The site has a ‘Bespoke’ section where the buyer can find and book specialised fitters to come and fit the blind. There are no refunds on made to measure blinds, although if you contact them within 24 hours, they will, if your order has not been processed, change your order for you.

Although it is possible to book a fitter through the online site, they do not offer a measuring service, the idea being that by measuring yourself, it helps to keep the overall cost of your blind down. The online measuring guide is basic, as is the fitting guide, although both are available to download and save. Finding delivery times on this site proved difficult. There was a lack of product information on each of the types of blinds that are available, and with no ‘gallery’ shots, it could be difficult for the buyer to visualise the blinds in their own home, however, there are free swatch samples available.

Overall Lifestyle Blinds.com is an online window blind site that could prove difficult to use for the novice blind buyer. It seems to be geared towards buyers who have bought their window blinds online before, and at least know what blind is suitable for what room. The lack of helpful design information could mean expensive mistakes.
