What Type of Blinds Are Best for a Bedroom?
The bedroom is your retreat — a place to unwind, sleep and recharge. Choosing the right blinds can transform the space, improving both comfort and functionality.
The right bedroom blinds do more than just control light — they help you sleep better, maintain privacy and even enhance your room’s style. With so many types available, it can be difficult to know where to start. At Redwood Blinds, we’ve helped countless homeowners choose made-to-measure blinds that make bedrooms more restful and beautiful. Here’s our guide to finding the best blinds for your bedroom.
1. Blackout Roller Blinds for Better Sleep
If you struggle to sleep through early morning sunlight or streetlights, blackout roller blinds are a must. Designed with light-blocking fabrics, they completely darken the room, helping you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. They’re particularly effective for shift workers, children’s rooms or anyone sensitive to light.
At Redwood Blinds, our blackout blinds are available in a wide range of colours and finishes, so you don’t have to compromise on style for practicality.
2. Roman Blinds for Elegance and Warmth
Roman blinds bring a sense of sophistication to any bedroom. Their soft, fabric folds add texture and warmth while providing excellent light control and insulation. Opt for a blackout lining to create the perfect sleeping environment or choose lighter fabrics to allow soft, filtered light during the day.
Roman blinds are ideal for master bedrooms or guest rooms where both comfort and luxury matter.
3. Day and Night Blinds for Flexibility
If you like to adjust the lighting throughout the day, day and night blinds (also known as zebra blinds) offer the best of both worlds. Their alternating sheer and opaque panels allow you to easily switch between privacy and filtered light. They’re perfect for bedrooms that double as workspaces or reading areas.
4. Venetian Blinds for Style and Control
For those who prefer a more structured look, Venetian blinds provide a timeless solution. Their adjustable slats allow you to control both light and privacy with precision. Available in materials like wood, faux wood and aluminium, they can complement a wide variety of décor styles.
Wood and faux wood Venetians also add warmth and texture, making them a great choice for contemporary or rustic bedrooms.
5. Thermal Blinds for Year-Round Comfort
Bedrooms benefit from consistent temperature control, especially in the UK climate. Thermal blinds are designed to retain heat in winter and reflect sunlight in summer, helping to maintain a comfortable sleeping environment while saving on energy bills.
Many of Redwood Blinds’ roller and Roman blinds can be fitted with thermal linings for added insulation and comfort.
