What are the best blinds for a bedroom?

Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings recommends a blockout roller blind for most bedrooms. The blockout fabric strongly reduces light for sleep and gives full privacy at night. Some edge light can remain, depending on mount and fit. If you also want soft daylight, choose a duo roller: two fabrics on one bracket.

How dark will a blockout blind make my bedroom?

A Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings blockout roller blind strongly reduces light, but a bedroom is not a sealed room. Some light can show at the edges, depending on mount and fit. A face fix with 100 mm overlap on each side covers more of the window edge than a recess fit. Room-darkening side guides greatly reduce the edge gaps; they add 20% to the blind and do not go with a motor.

Can I open and close bedroom blinds from my phone?

Yes. Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings adds Somfy or Motion motors to roller blinds. Control them from the app, by voice with Google or Alexa, or on a schedule that opens them at sunrise and closes them at sunset. Choose your blind first, then add the motor when you build it.

How do I measure a bedroom window for blinds?

How to measure for blinds in 48 seconds: recess fit, face fix, and what to do if you are not sure.

Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings asks for measurements in millimetres. For a recess fit, measure three widths and three drops; give us the smallest width and the longest drop. We deduct 10 mm from the width only (10 mm in total). Do not deduct anything yourself. For a face fix, add 100 mm on each side and 100 mm above and below. No deduction applies.

Which bedroom blind questions do customers ask most?

Customers ask Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings three things about bedroom blinds: which blind suits a street-facing room, which fits a shallow frame, and which works for both day and night.

What is the best blind for a bedroom that faces the street?

A blockout roller or honeycomb blockout blind. Both give strong room darkening and privacy.

What is the best bedroom blind for a shallow window frame?

A honeycomb blockout blind fits compact frames. Otherwise choose a face fix, which mounts on the wall above the window.

What is the best bedroom blind for both day and night?

A duo roller blind: sheer for daytime light, blockout for sleep, on one bracket.
