When I first heard the name John Gallen, I thought of John Galliano the fashion designer. John Gallen is kind of like an Irish Laura Ashley. They have the most fabulous range of fabrics to choose from. You can order free fabric samples before you buy, but the website is so easy to use and the fabric images so clear that most people would probably be comfortable ordering straight off the site. The roman blinds are displayed beautifully. You can shop by colour, price, pattern or fabric type. Its incredibly well laid out. The measuring instructions are clear and concise and most importantly the quality of their sewing is fabulous. Don't tell too many people but the prices for made-to-measure roman blinds are excellent especially compared to John Lewis who charges quite a bit more for a product which is perhaps not quite as good. When I received my silk blinds which I ordered with blackout lining. I was simply delighted. 100% Pure Seduction Silk - absolutely gorgeous! John Gallen Roman Blinds - highly recommended.
