June 4, 2010 by Vanessa·0 Comment

This spotty roman blind wears its spots with gay abandon. The eclectic mix of colours will suit a relaxed area of the home where its cheerful and sunny nature will fit right in. If you’ve just had enough of neutrals and want some colourful cheer then the Discus Jazz roman blind is for you!

Discus Jazz is a blind bursting with character. The cream background features circles of pale eau de nil and sky blue, the other circles are darker and include mustard yellow, burnt orange and poppy red. The final spots favour green and brown so we see olive green and darker khaki green and chocolate as well as a darker brown.

We had lots of fun finding colourful bits and pieces that would do this blind proud, you have to agree, they’ve certainly got personality! For lots of other spotty and dotty options just visit our website.
