Made to measure blinds & shutters
Bespoke blinds and shutters for Northampton homes, from the Boot and Shoe Quarter's Victorian terraces to modern estates at Upton and Dallington Grange.
Window coverings for Northampton's diverse housing stock
Northampton is one of the largest towns in England, and its housing stock reflects centuries of growth driven by the shoe industry. The town has a substantial number of terraced houses, a legacy of the workers' cottages built to house the boot and shoe trade workforce from the 1850s onwards. These narrow-fronted terraces with their compact windows are well suited to roller blinds, perfect fit blinds, and cafe-style shutters.
The Great Fire of 1675 destroyed much of the medieval town, and the rebuilding that followed created the Georgian streetscapes visible today around The Drapery, Gold Street, and Derngate. The Boot and Shoe Quarter conservation area preserves the industrial heritage of former factories converted into apartments, and the town's 18 conservation areas protect a range of architectural periods and styles.
Modern Northampton continues to expand. The Upton development brought contemporary eco-homes to the south-west, Dallington Grange is delivering thousands of new properties to the north-west, and infill developments across Duston, Wootton, and Hunsbury add to the mix. These new builds with their large windows and open-plan layouts are ideal for motorised blinds and full-height shutters.
Products for Northampton homes
Window coverings recommended for the property types found across Northampton NN1-NN7.
Roller Blinds
The go-to choice for Northampton's extensive terraced housing. Compact headrails maximise light in narrow window recesses, and the huge fabric range means there's an option for every room from a blackout nursery to a sheer-filtered living room.
Cafe-Style Shutters
Cover just the lower half of ground-floor windows to maintain privacy from the pavement while letting light pour in above. Particularly effective on Northampton's Victorian terraced streets where front windows sit close to the footpath.
Perfect Fit Blinds
No-drill blinds that clip into uPVC window frames without any fixing into the wall or frame. Perfect for Northampton's newer homes and conservatories, keeping window sills clear for plants and ornaments.
Commercial Awnings
Branded retractable and fixed awnings for Northampton's restaurants, cafes, and retail premises. From The Drapery to the Cultural Quarter, outdoor seating protected by quality awnings extends your trading space.
