4 Best Blinds Styles for Bedrooms
Over the course of our lives, we spend about 12,045 days or 289,080 hours in bed. That works out to about 33 years – over a third of our lifetimes!
With so much time spent in our bedrooms, it only makes sense to choose our furnishings and fixtures carefully. After all, they’re the first things we see when we wake up and the last things we see before falling asleep!
The blinds we choose are especially important, as they have a direct influence on how long and how well we sleep. Choosing the wrong type could result in your bedroom being flooded with light early in the morning, making it a lot harder to get a good night’s sleep. Blinds also have a big impact on the overall aesthetic of your room, making it even more important to make the right choice.
With over 50 years of experience, the team at Broadview Blinds know all there is to know about blinds, curtains, and shutters. Read on for our comprehensive guide to the five best blind styles for your bedroom!
1. Blackout blinds
If your number one priority is keeping your room dark and cool all night long, blackout blinds are the way to go.
As the name suggests, blackout blinds are designed to block out light almost entirely. They’re made from layers of dense, opaque materials that effectively keep sunlight at bay, giving you a peaceful and dark environment to sleep in. Even better, they have the added perk of keeping your room cooler during summer!
At Broadview, we design and supply innovative Rollerbox blackout blinds. They come with a unique cassette and rail system that fits perfectly into your window frame, allowing you to customise the level of blackout to your liking, ranging from a comfortable dimness to nearly 100% darkness. Not only will these blinds give you the perfect sleep environment, but they’ll also keep out any cold draughts. To top it off, they come in a wide array of colours, ranging from classic black and red to lighter tones like white and pink.
2. Roller blinds
This neat and subtle style is effortless to use, smoothly winding around a roller with just the pull of a cord. And when you’re not using the blinds, simply roll them up into the cassette for an unobstructed view of the outside world!
Roller blinds are the perfect fit for modern and minimalist bedroom designs, as their non-obstructive shapes allow you to add a touch of elegance without overpowering the space. They’re also incredibly versatile, easily fitting against any window type.
Broadview’s roller blinds come in a wide range of styles, patterns and colours, from pure whites to playful stripes perfect for a child’s room. They’re available with various trim options and feature ball-chain control, making them a breeze to operate.
Plus, if you want your blinds to blend in even more with your decor, we also offer a laminating service where you can match your own fabric to create a truly personalised look!
3. Roman blinds
Love the classics? Roman blinds might just be the perfect choice for you.
The name ‘Roman blinds’ harks back to ancient Rome, where this timeless style first emerged over 2,000 years ago. These blinds consist of fabric panels attached to mounting slats, all connected to cords. When you raise the blind, the cords draw the slats together, creating elegant pleats as the blind folds.
One of the reasons they’ve remained a popular choice is their unique foldable appearance, which adds a touch of grandeur to any room. Ideal for spaces with a classic or ornate design, Roman blinds also excel at controlling light. You can easily adjust them to any height, allowing just the right amount of light to filter in while retaining their sophisticated look. Plus, the thick fabric they’re made of helps to reduce echoing in areas with hard floors!
Discover Broadview’s extensive collection of Roman blinds, featuring a wide array of fashionable fabrics with optional linings. You’ll find a range of finishing accessories, including poles, eyelets, and braids, allowing you to customise every aspect of their design. On select fabrics, you can even get matching cushions to complete the coordinated look!
4. Venetian blinds
You can’t go wrong with Venetian blinds. They’ve been a popular choice for decades, and for good reason!
Venetian blinds feature a tilter cord mechanism and easy-glide lower and raise system, making them exceptionally practical and user friendly. You have precise control over sunlight and privacy in your bedroom – simply adjust the slat angle to enjoy the view outside while preventing others from looking in!
At Broadview, we offer a diverse range of Venetian blind styles to suit all window types. You can choose from four slat widths, available in a wide array of colours and finishes, including perforated and reflective options. You also have the choice of real wood or wood-effect aluminium blinds. The versatility of our Venetian blinds extends to their compatibility with tilt and turn windows and even double-glazed partitions!
