Highbury Design has been making bespoke, one-of-a-kind products since 1987...

Highbury Design began in Nottingham in 1987, owner Nick had been working for ‘Hillarys Blinds’ and he decided to set up on his own (funnily enough, when Hillarys Blinds long-term Managing Director wanted blinds for his own home he had Highbury Design to do the work!), making blinds and then curtains, artworks and upholstery.

Creatively Designed & Manufactured

Almost all of our blinds are hand-made, although our prices are often lower than our competitors.

For example, when we did blinds for Lowdham Village Hall they found our prices were lower than a well-known internet blinds supplier and we give a free fitting too!
