Commercial Blinds Installation at an Iconic Hampshire Hotel

In this case study we wanted to highlight a recent project we undertook for an iconic hotel in the New Forest, where we were tasked with the custom manufacture and installation of various blinds and window coverings for the communal areas of this picturesque hotel.

Project Overview

The owners of the hotel were looking to update and enhance the aesthetic appeal and functionality of the property. Specifically, they required bespoke blinds for the conservatory lounge and bar areas, spaces that are central to the guest experience.

The project involved the custom manufacture and installation of:
6 three-bar pleated blinds
5 25mm venetian blinds
2 Perfect Fit venetian blinds

Blind Selection: Consultation and Materials

As always, our process began with a comprehensive site visit to the hotel. During this time, our experts met with management and took the time to understand the their specific requirements, the desired aesthetic and the functionality needed for the blinds. Once we knew what was needed, we presented a range of material options, factoring in elements such as light control, privacy and ease of maintenance.

The hotel’s management team expressed a preference for blinds that would complement the natural beauty of the surrounding woodland while providing effective light control in the conservatory and bar areas. After careful consideration, we recommended long-lasting materials and neutral colours that matched the hotel's interior décor and complemented the surrounding forest.

Custom Manufacture

Following our consultation process, it was back to our Southampton workshop, where our incredible team set to work. Each blind was meticulously crafted to the precise measurements and specifications discussed during the site visit. The three-bar pleated blinds were designed to offer a sleek and modern look, ideal for the conservatory lounge where guests could enjoy panoramic views of the local woodland. The 25mm venetian blinds and the perfect fit venetian blinds were chosen for their versatility and ease of use, perfect for the dynamic lighting needs of the bar area during opening times.

Installation

Once complete, our professional l blinds fitting team visited the hotel to install the blinds. It can be challenging to work in public spaces, but as ever, we ensured the entire process was carried out with minimal disruption to the hotel's day-to-day operations.

The team took the time to make sure each blind was perfectly fitted, providing a seamless and polished look to the overall decor. The three-bar pleated blinds in the conservatory lounge created a contemporary but inviting atmosphere, while the venetian blinds in the bar area offered excellent light control and evening privacy for guests.

Outcome and Client Satisfaction

The project was completed on time and within budget, much to the satisfaction of the hotel management, with the new blinds not only enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the communal areas but also adding to their functionality.
