When it comes to designing any room in your home, focusing on the colour palette and materials will form the foundations of the scheme. And while big pieces of furniture and accessories might be an obvious way to achieve this, window treatments are the lesser thought of touch that will make a huge difference.

Window treatments, whether that is blinds, curtains or shutters, have the ability to completely transform the look of your home and the ease of your daily life. Combine the Hillarys x Poodle & Blonde collection with an unrivalled end-to-end measuring and fitting service, and the result will be quality window dressings, packed full of personality that comes together without any stress.

Hillarys is known for streamlining the window treatment process, making it as simple as possible to choose the right style for your windows, with measuring and fitting all taken care of. And now with their collaboration with retro-inspired brand Poodle & Blonde, classic styles have been given a bold, playful and vintage revival that will deliver on-trend elegance to your windows.

Even for those who feel at ease playing around with statement colours and patterns, it can be tricky to decide which route to go down. The Hillarys x Poodle & Blonde collection of Roman blinds and curtains includes 26 fabrics all infused with vintage charm, ready to add an on-trend finish to your windows.

From soft pale pink hues to bold emerald marble designs, there is something for every interior scheme. But which look should you go for? Hillarys in-house service will make the decision simpler. There’s never any pressure to buy and during the free appointment, you can explore the range while having someone else do the measuring.

Hillarys allows you to prioritise how your finished room will look, putting all of your focus into the design choices as opposed to the hassle of measuring and fitting. Instead, you can have fun with the process and sit back and relax while your vision comes to life.

Quality, made to last

When it comes to creating a stylish home that fits your aesthetic, it's all about paying attention to the small details. There are so many customisations that you can make to curtains and blinds, whether that’s through different lining types, curtain header options or choosing the right curtain track or pole for your window. Hillarys makes these decisions easy, explaining the benefits of each option and which of these features would work best for your home.

Plus, all of the Roman blinds in the Hillarys x Poodle & Blonde range can be made electric or smart. The electric Roman blinds are controlled via a remote but can also be linked up to a Somfy Smart Hub so you can open or close your blinds from the comfort of your bed or sofa.

When it comes to quality, Hillarys fabrics are made to last. Their team of seamstresses hand finish each curtain and cushion cover to guarantee that every detail is perfect, while the in-house testing team ensures that fabrics will neither warp or fade.

Choosing blinds or curtains isn’t a standalone decision - the pattern and material have to work in tandem with the rest of your scheme, whether that's by contrasting or matching your window treatment of choice.

The Hillarys x Poodle & Blonde collection makes this simple by offering cushion covers in the same fabrics, so you can subtly bridge the gap between your soft furnishings and windows and it’s easy to find the confidence to combine multiple fabrics in the same room for an intentional, curated look.

With seven sizes to choose from as well as fringing and ruffle edging available, these cushions will add dimension and warmth to your home, without you needing to go hunting for complementary fabrics. This collection does the work for you - both in terms of making on-trend style decisions and taking the technical details out of your hands.
