Our blinds

Find blinds that feel right for your home

There are plenty of lovely options, and choosing between them should feel enjoyable rather than complicated. Perhaps you're looking for a little more privacy in the living room, darker mornings in the bedroom, or something easy to wipe down in a busy kitchen. We'll help you find a style that suits the way you use the room, the look you like and the amount you want to spend. Browse the ranges below for ideas, and remember we're always happy to talk through what would work best at your windows.

The core eight

Roller blinds

A flat piece of fabric that rolls onto a tube. Simple, neat and the most adaptable choice, with plain, patterned, light-filtering and blackout fabrics. Good for most rooms. See roller blinds.

Vertical blinds

Upright slats on a track that rotate and draw back. A sensible choice for patio doors and wide windows, because the slats tilt to control light and the whole run pulls aside. See vertical blinds.

Wooden blinds

Horizontal slats of real wood with a warm, natural look. Lovely for living rooms and studies, and a little less happy in damp rooms. See wooden blinds. If you want the look in a more moisture-tolerant material, see faux wood blinds.

Venetian blinds

Horizontal slats, often aluminium, that tilt to direct light. Slim, easy to wipe and useful in kitchens and offices. See Venetian blinds.

Perfect fit blinds

Blinds held in their own frame that clips onto a uPVC window or door, so there is no drilling. Suited to windows with suitable frames. See perfect fit blinds.

Roman blinds

Soft fabric that folds into neat pleats as it rises. A more finished look, comfortable in bedrooms and living rooms. See Roman blinds.

Roof blinds

Blinds for roof windows and skylights, held in guides to stay close to the glass. See roof blinds.

Motorised blinds

Not a different type of blind but a different way of operating one, using a motor and a remote or control. Useful for high, wide or hard-to-reach windows and a handy way to avoid cords. See motorised blinds.

Four specialist types

• Day and night blinds use alternating sheer and solid bands to let you adjust privacy through the day.
• Pleated blinds are folded fabric that suits conservatories, roof glazing and awkward shapes.
• Blackout blinds help make bedrooms feel darker, though a little light usually peeks in around the edges.
• Conservatory blinds treat the roof and side windows as separate jobs, with attention to glare and fitting access.

A plain comparison

If you want privacy with light: Venetian, wooden, vertical or day and night blinds all let you tilt or adjust while keeping the room bright.

If you want a darker bedroom: a blackout roller or lined Roman blind, fitted to overlap the window, then add curtains if needed.

If you want the simplest, tidiest look: a roller blind.

If you want something soft: a Roman blind, or curtains from our curtains range.

If you would rather not drill into frames: perfect fit, where the window suits.

If you have glass doors or wide windows: vertical blinds, or a roller where there is room.

If you have a kitchen or bathroom: wipeable fabrics, aluminium or faux wood. Real wood is a little happier in drier rooms.

If the window is awkward to reach or shaped: pleated, roof or motorised options.

If you like the look of fixed louvred panels, see our shutters. For offices and rented properties, our commercial blinds page covers a few extra points.

Cords, chains and children

Many blinds have cords or chains, so a little care around children goes a long way. Keep any loop up out of reach of babies and young children with a cord tidy or safety device, and keep cots and climbable furniture away from windows. Cordless and motorised blinds reduce the risk. BS EN 13120 is the UK standard for the safety of internal blinds. Our child-safe blind choices guide explains the options.

Getting it measured

We are based in Thornaby and fit across Stockton-on-Tees and wider Teesside. A measure is free, and a quotation is provided before you commit. We check the window, the frame and the fitting options in person, which helps us spot details that photos can miss. Book a free measure, or see roller vs vertical blinds for a quick head to head.
