Do you fit blinds and shutters in splay and box bays?

Yes — both are part of standard bay configurations. Splay bays usually need 3 or 5 panels joined at the angle; square/box bays use 4 panels with corner posts. We measure each on-site before quoting.

Can you match a paint colour I already have in the room?

Yes — RAL-matched and Farrow & Ball-matched finishes are available on our painted hardwood shutter ranges at no upcharge.

Can you survey and quote venetian blinds in one visit?

Yes — every Lympne home visit ends with a written, itemised quote. No follow-up sales call required unless you want to refine the spec.

Faux wood or real wood — which should I choose?

If the room sees steam or moisture (kitchen, bathroom, utility) always go faux. For dry rooms where the look matters most, real wood gives a richer finish.

Lympne Venetian Blinds, Surveyed and Fitted by Our Own Teamfor Bay Windows

We've been fitting venetian blinds across Lympne for years — long enough to know that Larger detached homes overlooking the Marsh, conservation-area cottages, modern self-builds call for a very specific approach.

Venetian Blinds for bay windows: what we look for

Bay windows are the trickiest single window type to dress well. Get the panelling, joinery angles or fabric tension wrong and the whole bay looks unfinished — get it right and a bay becomes the focal point of the room.

Each panel or blind is measured individually so the line follows the bay rather than fighting it.
Square, splay and box bays each behave differently — survey decides the right approach.
Lead, sash and uPVC bays all have different fixing constraints to plan for at survey.
Pricing is per panel for shutters and per drop for blinds — we always show a clear per-window breakdown.
