Can you join two roller blinds together?

When you have two or more roller blinds side by side, you can link them using our joining brackets. The linked joining bracket will couple the blinds together so that only one of the blinds needs a chain control, whereas the independent joining bracket requires each blind to have a chain control.

How do you dress a wide short window?

Hang Floor-Length Curtains
If your window is both short and wide, a medium-weight fabric is a better choice. It's also a good idea to choose pleated curtain styles for dressing up these windows. They'll help create a frame on both sides of the window and make it appear narrower.
