Apollo Blinds

Using towels as curtains is not the most sophisticated of looks. The previous curtains had obviously been fashioned from the most hideous dress material circa 1960’s and failed fantastically in it’s simple mission of:
1. Keep out the light.
2. Keep in the heat.
Having a beam of light penetrate through my eye lids and induce momentarily blindness each AM was getting rather annoying.
«We need curtains.»
«OK, what do we do?»
«I have no idea — do I look domesticated?»
«Yelp it?»
«Yes, that might just work.»
I had no idea that curtains come in lots of different sizes, colours, shapes, fabrics and yeah. So I brought the shoddy curtains that we had been putting up with.
«Oh dear.»
«I know, it’s a nightmare in the AM.»
«Sure that’s dress material.»
«That’s one damn ugly dress.»
My spec was, cheap with blackout. The total came to € 342 with a € 170 deposit. 10 days to make them up as the windows that we need the curtains on a very unusually shaped and there are five of them.
I happily paid but at the same time I panicked after as it seemed like a lot of money to us. So I called the Mammy.
«Mam is € 342 a rip off for curtains?»
«Oh jaysus no! With black out and for five windows that’s amazing…»
She proceeded to spend 30 minutes talking to me about curtains and her curtain woes and how good curtains can change your life.
Simply put — it got the Mammy stamp of approval so happy days!

There’s no wrong way to dress a window, as long as you start with Apollo blinds.
As part of my mission to make over a strangely shaped bedroom, Apollo was a local stop off for ideas on making the one window into something a little more… revealing.
Roman, Venetian, Vertical or more, the staff here will help match the right (mass market) blind to your room. Tailoring and installation services are available as well as aftercare once everything is in place.
Unfortunately for my mission there was no perfect solution for the postage-​stamp skylight I was dealing with. However the couple chatting comfortably with a saleswoman were clearly delighted with the selection for their conservatory.
