I always try to shop with local company's if I can as I find with big franchises you just seem to be another number, so decided to go with Karida Blinds and im So glad I did, I got exactly the friendly personal service you would expect with a small local run business, the service was just fab from start to finish, I can't remember names but from the sales man that came out and helped me pick what would be best for my kitchen and patio doors to the fitter that fitted and cleaned away everything after himself and the communication in between. I will definitely be using them again in the future.

Marc has vast knowledge when it comes to curtains, blinds and interior design. The process was professional and impressive. From the help and advice I received to the large array of beautiful materials on show and the installation of blinds in my bathroom and kitchen, I could not recommend Karida Blinds and Curtains highly enough. It is well worth booking an appointment for Karida to visit you in the comfort of your home

Marc must be doing something right because we keep coming back. We started with a pair of curtains and five sets of blinds, then one more blind and a pair of motorised floor-length curtains, and now returned a third time for another blind. We unhesitatingly recommend him.

Well I can only say what an experience lol
Since renovating my house I thought I knew what I wanted in the way of blinds and curtains and asked Marc to come and quote, his expertise and understanding of the look I was after was nothing like the image I had in my head, after talking through my ideas Marc patiently worked with me to create the look I wanted and I have to say, I am more that happy with the outcome.
Left to my own devices I would have had dark rooms and patterns everywhere, instead I have bright rooms with modern blinds that not only work well with the light, they help with the privacy of my home and have created a modern new look, Marc even came up with an idea to make a blind especially for my dog, so I can lift a part of the blind so my dog still has his view when people come to the door.
The delivery and instillation were also streamline and effortless for me. Marc arrived with the blinds, I went off to the office to carry on with a zoom call, the next thing I knew Marc had completed the job and had transformed my rooms. All in all a fantastic service, a fantastic product and a very fair price. Thanks Marc, I shall be back for more once I start on the upstairs.

Marc provided a first class service from the outset. We were guided through the options and were able to select the exact look and practical features for our shutters. Even through lockdown Marc kept us up to date with delivery dates. The new shutters set off our living room perfectly.. So much so, we've ordered another for my home office! Highly recommended

I chose Karida Living based on the reviews and I chose the right Company!! Short turn around time from order to fitting, and good quality blinds which look amazing.
Marc was informative in the initial visit advising of the best style of blinds and he brought sample books with a huge choice of styles! We purchased Intu/ Hive blinds for large patio windows on the back of our house. The price was competitive with a 2 yr guarantee!
