Blinds for every room

Every room is different. Let's find what works for yours

A bedroom might need a little more darkness for a peaceful morning, while a kitchen needs something easy to care for and a living room may be all about softening the afternoon sun. That's why we've put these guides together by room. Have a browse, see what catches your eye, and if you'd like a hand choosing, we're always happy to talk it through when we come to measure.

Our room guides

• Bedroom blinds: light control, privacy and blinds you can live with at 6am.
• Living room blinds: glare on the television, evening privacy and bigger windows.
• Kitchen blinds: heat, steam and fabrics or slats that can be wiped.
• Bathroom blinds: moisture, privacy and what to keep away from the shower.
• Patio door blinds: handles, thresholds and a door that opens and closes.
• Home office blinds: screen glare, video calls and adjustable light.
• Children's room blinds: cords, placement and options with fewer risks.

The ranges that come up again and again

You will see the same handful of products recommended across these guides, because they are the ones that earn their place in several rooms.

• Roller blinds are the flexible all-rounder, with fabrics from light-filtering to dark.
• Roman blinds bring softness and pattern where a room needs warmth.
• Faux wood and wooden blinds give you adjustable slats; the faux version is the usual choice where moisture is likely.
• Perfect Fit blinds sit inside the frame of suitable windows and doors without drilling.
• Vertical blinds cover wide openings and glazed doors.
• Blackout blinds and day and night blinds give you more say over light and privacy.

Five questions that can help you choose

1. How much light do you want blocked, and at what time of day?
2. Who looks in from outside, and from where?
3. Will the blind get wet, greasy or touched all the time?
4. Who will operate it: adults, children, someone with limited grip?
5. Is something in the way, such as a radiator, deep sill, window handle or furniture?

Your answers are the best guide to what will suit you. Tell us them at the measure and we will gladly say which options fit.

Where the detail lives

These room guides stay short on purpose. When you want more depth, the advice section covers it: what made to measure means, recess or exact fit, how to measure for blinds and choosing blind fabrics. For shades and finishes, see colours and fabrics.

A word on cords

Wherever a blind has a cord or chain, keep it out of reach of young children and fix it as the manufacturer instructs. Cordless and motorised options can reduce the risk. Our child safety page explains more, and it is a helpful read before choosing for any room a child uses.
