Our Annual Christmas Safety Message
Keep your home safe this Christmas with simple blind safety checks. Learn how to secure cords, chains and furniture to protect little ones during the festive season.


Bottoms UP!

You’re In Control
Discover safe, modern blind control options—from cordless and tensioned systems to motorised solutions. Stay child-safe and stylish with the right window coverings.


The Auntie Marge Conundrum
We’re officially four weeks from Christmas 2025, and most supplier cut-off dates have whizzed past faster than Santa on a sleigh. Any orders placed now come with absolutely no promise of arriving before Christmas.


Lighting the Way - Updated
Last year we told you how you could dress your lantern roof and improve insulation in the room below. The trend has continued, and we’ve now added a new range to our offer - the Duette blind.


The Haptic Home
It’s no surprise, then, that many of us design our living spaces based on what feels good to the touch - wood, leather, fabric; we surround ourselves with materials that bring comfort and a sense of familiarity.


Child Safety Week 2025
We try to inform and advise as much as possible. Previous blogs here , here, and here are packed full of relevant information. Having a family is hard work, and often tiring. As CAPT point out, when you’re tired and distracted, just take a moment to wind the blind cord out of the way.


Completely Conscious
At Bespoke Blinds & Poles, our job is to bridge the gap between expectation and reality. We provide clear, detailed information about each product’s characteristics, and help you choose what suits your needs - not just what sounds right.


The Tension is Mounting
One common issue with inward-opening windows is that traditional blinds fitted inside the recess can interfere with the window's movement. Fortunately, there’s a smart solution: tensioned blinds mounted directly onto the window or its frame. These blinds move seamlessly with the window glazing - simple, effective, and stylish.
