Since 2015, House Beautiful has worked with Hillarys to develop exclusive collections that combine our design perspective with Hillarys’ product expertise. Our relationship is a collaborative one: we bring insights on the latest interior trends and the pieces we know our readers want in their homes, while Hillarys delivers on quality, technical know-how, and a commitment to making window treatments that work for real life. The drive to create collections that are both beautiful and practical is at the very heart of the work we do together.

Reflecting today’s interior trends

Our latest collection of Pleated blinds was designed to resonate with the way people want to feel in their homes. There’s a definite shift towards homes that feel calm and welcoming, with a focus on natural materials and gentle, grounding colours. That’s why this range features a palette of pale pastels and earthy neutrals - shades that bring a sense of tranquillity and can easily be layered with other design elements. I’ve seen the way these colours can adapt to so many different contexts, from a sleek modern city flat to a more traditional country home.

Modern motifs

Prints aren’t just reserved for Roman or Roller blinds; in fact there’s something exciting about the way pattern ripples across our range of Pleated blinds. We’ve thoughtfully introduced subtle motifs that add depth and interest without dominating a space; they’re a quietly elegant addition to your windows.

Variety and versatility

The best part about Pleated blinds? Their versatility. They offer privacy, diffuse light beautifully, and can be fitted to all sorts of windows and doors - from bays, roofs and skylights to more intricate shapes. For me, this adaptability is what makes them so valuable in the home. They’re especially useful in spaces where you want to control both light and privacy throughout the day, such as living rooms or home offices.

Light control, your way

Having said that, Pleated blinds also slot in beautifully in bedrooms and nurseries as you can opt for blackout fabrics. Alternatively, discover some of our sheer finishes that cast a softly filtered light into your space. And thanks to their slimline design, these Pleated fabrics sit almost flush with the window, creating a clean, uncluttered look. They’re both decorative and practical, making a statement as well as serving a purpose.

Flexible functionality

It’s also worth exploring some of the innovative fitting styles available with our Pleated blinds, with options that allow the blinds to open from the top down, bottom up, or even combine two fabrics in one Transition™ blind. This flexibility means you can tailor your light and privacy levels with precision - something that’s increasingly important in multi-use spaces and open-plan living.

ThermaShade™: insulate in style

Hillarys also offer ThermaShade™ fabrics within the collection: clever honeycomb blinds with built-in air pockets that create an insulating barrier at the window. They’re designed to help regulate room temperature and reduce heat loss, making them a smart choice for anyone conscious of comfort and energy efficiency. These practical benefits don’t come at the expense of style, though - with a huge range of beautiful colours and motifs available.

A fresh perspective

The House Beautiful x Hillarys Pleated collection illustrates just how transformative the right window treatment can be. Whether you’re updating a single room or rethinking your whole home, these blinds offer a blend of style, flexibility, and innovation. I hope you’ll explore the range to find the blind that’s the perfect - and gorgeous - fit for the windows in your home.
