We get asked this question a lot, and that is why we sell integrated or integral blinds which are totally enclosed within the glass cavity of the double glazed unit, and are available for most of the doors and windows we sell. They can be manually or electrically operated, are available in a range of colours, and have Venetian or pleated versions. They can be closed for complete privacy, opened to any angle for different shading or raised up almost completely out of the way. Aside from enclosing all the working parts (safe for toddlers), they enhance the thermal efficiency of the unit they are enclosed within and will never need cleaning! You can upgrade existing doors and windows, although if you are purchasing new, ask your supplier about Uni-blinds Integral Blinds beforehand.

Hi Danni, Shutters would look fabulous with your Parisian style - they are famed for their gorgeous continental look. You ask about different styles, so I'll post a few examples for you to get a feel for them: This lilac shutter is the full-height style. That means the shutter covers the whole of the window and there is no split in the middle. It's also a custom colour choice - where you can match your shutter to practically any paint colour shade. These shutters are tier-on-tier. This means that the top and bottom slats operate independently of each other, so you can have the top ones folded back while still keeping privacy with the bottom ones closed. Finally, these shutters are café-style which means they only cover the bottom half of the window. They're perfect if you're after the privacy, but still want to make the most of the light or show off a feature such as stained glass. Hope that helps a little - please let me know if you have any more questions on shutters! Good luck, Zoe

Hi Richard I hope I might have the solution to your problem: Please have a look at Luxaflex Blinds. They use a system called Hunter Douglas to control their blind systems. https://support.myharmony.com/en-au/harmony-experience-with-hunter-douglas Per this support comment Logitech is compatible with this device and could be the right brand for your blinds as well. If you like we could source the blinds for you and get more information. We have not integrated with a hormonal system before as we typically specify wired systems to avoid these issues, but I too like these wireless options! Contact us using our Houzz link if you need more help. Best Siblingz

Hi Debbie, some pictures of the room would be ideal, but in terms of roman blinds that would work with grey walls you could go with something like this grey Orla Kiely pattern Here's the link - https://www.makemyblinds.co.uk/orla-kiely-roman-scribble-cool-grey.html alternatively you could go with a more neutral colour like this roman blind below. https://www.makemyblinds.co.uk/speckle-silver-glint.html We have a whole range of roman blinds available, and the great thing is, you can order free samples of any blind.
