Blinds in Bruntsfield

Made-to-measure blinds and curtains for Bruntsfield homes, manufactured in our Leith workshop and fitted by our own team. Bruntsfield's Victorian tenements have some of Edinburgh's most handsome windows, and we have dressed them for over 50 years. Free home visits, expert fitting, and a 3-year guarantee on every product.

A Family Workshop in Edinburgh, Not a National Chain

Bruntsfield is around 15 minutes from our Leith workshop, and we fit blinds and curtains across south Edinburgh regularly. You deal with the same small team from the first visit to the final fitting. No call centres, no subcontracted fitters, and no national-chain pricing. Your blinds are made by the same people who measure and fit them.

Bruntsfield is one of Edinburgh's most desirable south-side neighbourhoods, known for its Victorian tenement flats, tree-lined streets, and proximity to Bruntsfield Links and the Meadows. The tenements along Bruntsfield Place, Viewforth, and the surrounding streets have generous proportions: tall sash-and-case windows, deep bay windows, high ceilings, and original period features. These windows need blinds and curtains that complement the architecture rather than hiding it. We have fitted across these properties for over 50 years and understand what works. Everything is made in our made-to-measure blinds workshop in Leith.

Every order includes free measuring and fitting and a 3-year guarantee. The price we quote is the price you pay. See what to expect when buying from a local Edinburgh maker for the full process.

Blinds and Curtains for Bruntsfield Homes

Bruntsfield is predominantly Victorian tenements with some newer conversions. Here is what we fit most often in the area.

Tenement Living Rooms

Bruntsfield's main-door and upper flats have large front-facing sash windows, often in deep bays. Roman blinds in each bay section or floor-length curtains on a curved bay track make the most of the proportions.

Bay Windows

Deep bay windows are a signature of Bruntsfield's tenements. We make blinds and curtain tracks to follow the exact shape of the bay, measuring each section on site so everything fits precisely. Wood venetian blinds are popular for bays that face the street.

Tall Sash Windows

The standard Bruntsfield tenement window is a tall sash-and-case, typically wider and taller than modern windows. Roller blinds and roman blinds fit inside the deep recess and keep the original stone surrounds and cornicing visible.

Bedrooms

South-facing Bruntsfield flats get bright summer mornings. Blackout blinds are our most popular choice for bedrooms, often paired with curtains for complete light control. Nurseries and children's rooms benefit from a cassette-headed blackout roller for the best edge seal.

Kitchens and Bathrooms

Older Bruntsfield kitchens and bathrooms can be prone to condensation. Moisture-resistant roller blinds and faux wood venetian blinds handle the damp without warping or discolouring.

Converted Flats

Some Bruntsfield properties have been converted into smaller flats with non-standard window layouts. We measure every window individually and make each blind to fit, regardless of unusual sizes or shapes. Perfect fit blinds work well where uPVC replacement windows have been installed.
