Blinds and Curtains in Hackney
We cover every property type across Hackney — period terraces, warehouse conversions, Crittall-windowed lofts, and modern apartment developments throughout E8 and E9.
Fitted Window Blinds Across E8 and E9
From London Fields Victorian Terraces to Hackney Wick Warehouse Conversions — Measured and Fitted by Our Team .
Hackney has three distinct types of residential property, each with completely different window profiles. Victorian and Edwardian terraces in London Fields and Hackney Central have bay windows, tall sash frames, and long window drops that need careful measuring. Warehouse conversions in Hackney Wick and Dalston have Crittall steel-frame windows and wide industrial glazing that need a different fixing approach entirely. New build apartments across Dalston Works, Warehaus, and Wickside have slim contemporary frames and open-plan layouts that suit cassette and motorised blind systems.
HomeDecisions covers the full Hackney borough from our workshop in Rainham RM13. We measure, manufacture, and install every blind ourselves across E8, E9, E5, and N16. Our team understands the technical differences between property types in Hackney and specifies the right product for each one.
Blinds We Fit Across Hackney Homes
Every blind below is measured in your home, manufactured to your exact window dimensions, and installed by our own team.
Victorian terraces on Queensbridge Road, the streets around London Fields Park, and the residential roads of Hackney Central have front rooms that face directly onto the street. These rooms are caught between two needs — letting in the natural light that tall sash windows provide, and keeping the room private from pedestrians.
Day and Night blinds resolve both at the same time. Two layers of fabric sit on a single roller tube. Sheer bands let light through. Opaque bands block the view. Move the blind up or down to shift which bands are active. The room stays lit during the day without being visible from the pavement.
Blinds for Hackney Wick Warehouses
Warehouse conversions across Hackney Wick E9, Dalston, and Haggerston are among the most technically specific blind installations we carry out in East London. These properties have Crittall steel-frame windows — multi-pane steel-framed glazing that was standard in industrial and commercial buildings throughout the first half of the twentieth century.
Standard blind brackets are designed for uPVC and timber frames. Crittall frames need a different approach. We fit face-fix roller blinds or ceiling-fixed track systems above Crittall windows so the blind drops in front of the glass without any fixing into the steel frame itself. The result covers the full glazed area cleanly without damaging the original frame. We also advise on blackout fabrics for warehouse bedrooms where the high ceilings and large glass areas let in significant early morning light.
Hackney’s Victorian terraces often have bedrooms at the front of the property facing the street, at rear ground level beside a side return, or in converted loft spaces with east-facing dormer windows. All three pick up external light at times when the room needs to be dark.
We fit blackout roller blinds with side-channel guides across Hackney bedrooms. The guides press the fabric edge against the recess wall on both sides, removing the light gap that a standard roller blind leaves at the sides. For warehouse conversion bedrooms with very tall windows or Crittall frames, we use face-fix ceiling mounting and weighted bottom bars to keep the fabric taut across the full drop.
Dalston Works on Ashwin Street, Warehaus near London Fields, and Wickside in Hackney Wick are among the higher-specification new build and rental developments currently occupied across the borough. These apartments have slim aluminium window frames, floor-to-ceiling glazing in living rooms and bedrooms, and interiors finished to a standard where an open roller tube above the window looks unfinished.
Cassette roller blinds enclose the tube and mechanism inside a slim housing that sits above the window. When the blind is raised, everything disappears inside the cassette. The window surround stays clean. Available in solar, blackout, and light-filtering fabrics across all standard apartment window widths. For south-facing living rooms in Hackney E8 apartments that overheat in summer, solar openweave fabric inside a cassette blind is the most effective specification.
The Victorian and Edwardian terraces around London Fields E8, Lower Clapton Road E5, and the streets north of Victoria Park E9 are some of the most valuable period properties in East London. Bay-fronted reception rooms, taller bedroom windows, and proportions that call for a full fabric treatment suit curtains better than roller blinds in many cases.
We supply and fit made-to-measure curtains across Hackney period homes. Bay-profile curved poles bent to follow the exact angle of any Victorian bay. Pencil pleat, eyelet, and pinch pleat heading options. Blackout lining for master bedrooms. Thermal lining for front rooms with original sash windows where heat loss through the glass is noticeable in winter. Track or pole measured, supplied, and fitted in the same visit as the curtains.
Hackney’s warehouse conversions regularly have windows two to four metres wide and two or more metres tall. A chain-pull on a blind this size runs across most of the wall. Motorised blinds replace the chain entirely and operate via remote, wall switch, or smart home app including Alexa and Google Home.
We install electric roller blinds and motorised cassette systems in warehouse loft windows, wide industrial glazing in Hackney Wick E9, and floor-to-ceiling apartment glazing across Dalston, Homerton, and London Fields. All motorised systems are fully cordless. Smart home-compatible systems are set up and paired during the fitting visit.
Over 25% of Hackney households are private renters. Purpose-built rental schemes including Dalston Works and Stonemason’s Yard E9 operate specifically as build-to-rent developments. Many Hackney tenants need blinds that do not require drilling into window frames.
Perfect Fit blinds press directly into the glazing bead of uPVC and aluminium window frames without any screws or fixings. They leave no marks when removed and do not breach standard tenancy agreements. Available in roller and pleated fabric versions. For Hackney properties with uPVC replacement windows, this is our standard no-drill recommendation.
Note: Perfect Fit systems require uPVC or aluminium frames. They do not work on Crittall steel frames or timber sash windows. For those frame types we advise a face-fix installation at the home visit.
Illusion blinds use a louvred fabric construction that opens and closes like a shutter. When fully open, the room gets clear natural light and a direct view outside. When closed, visibility from outside is blocked while daylight still comes through the fabric.
They give a softer, more period-appropriate appearance than a Day and Night blind and work well in the taller sash windows of Hackney’s Georgian and Victorian properties where a hard-edged cassette or roller blind can look out of place. Popular in the de Beauvoir area, Stoke Newington Church Street, and the streets around London Fields where period interiors are the priority.
Hackney’s Victorian terraces are increasingly having their roof spaces converted into bedrooms and home offices. Loft rooms commonly have Velux or similar roof windows in the sloped ceiling and sometimes a dormer window on the rear elevation.
Standard roller blinds cannot fit Velux frames cleanly. We fit Velux-compatible pleated blinds in blackout fabric for loft bedrooms across E8 and E9. For dormer windows with a straight vertical face, face-fix roller blinds above the frame are the right approach. We supply and fit both in the same loft room where both window types appear together.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Crittall frames require a face-fix or ceiling-fix installation rather than a standard bracket fix. We mount the blind above the frame so the fabric drops in front of the glass without any fixing into the steel frame itself. We confirm the right method for your specific Crittall window at the home visit.
A motorised cassette roller blind in a blackout or solar fabric is the most practical choice for wide industrial-style windows. The cassette gives a clean finish above the window. The motorised system handles wide spans without a long chain run. For Crittall frames specifically, a ceiling-fixed track is the correct mounting approach.
Yes. Made-to-measure curtains with bay-curved poles are one of our most common Hackney orders. We measure each bay facet individually, bend the pole to match the exact bay profile, and fit the pole and curtains in the same visit. Thermal lining for heat retention on north-facing front rooms, blackout lining for bedrooms.
Yes, if your windows have uPVC or aluminium frames. Perfect Fit blinds clip in without screws or fixings. If your flat has timber, steel Crittall, or other frame types, we use a face-fix method instead. We check the frame type at the home visit and confirm the right approach for your property before you commit.
