POLL: Do you sleep with the blinds open or closed?
Comments (19)unless I can live where people can't see into my room (Ok I do have a pretty voile but I have very nosey neighbours - and noisy - so the blind comes down, the voile is there and then there is a double thickness with blackout and heat/cool lining curtains! Possibly over the top - or not... I get migraines which means total darkness and silence for at least 10 hours - impossible to do with just the blinds or voile!...See Moreblackout curtains or blinds???

Our award winning Bloc Out blinds provide total blackout and bring an unmatched level of darkness to any room, functionality that is just not possible to achieve with any other blackout blind currently on the market.

Comments (10)Hi Gabby, this is always a tricky one and is something I am often asked to achieve. A roman blind on the outside of a window recess will always allow a small amount of light bleed because of the depth of its cassette. Similarly on the inside of a recess sufficient clearance has to be allowed for it to operate effectively. Curtains too allow light bleed above the track or pole and if they aren’t of a ‘puddled’ Design also to a lesser extent on the floor. In my experience the best possible blackout is achieved by pleated Duette blinds Inside the recess. I use Luxaflex blinds for their quality and innovation, their Smart Cord, Lite Rise and Powerview operating systems allow you to get the tightest possible fit inside a recess. You can then choose between a blackout roman blind or blackout curtains as a belt and braces measure. Hope that helps....See MoreBest colour curtains
Comments (6)Hi Charlotte, I would go for a more neutral colour, i.e a light grey or an off white, as these colours are very versatile and look great with almost any wall colour. Have you also considered blackout roman blinds, as these are a cheaper alternative to blackout curtains but offer the same premium feel. I've attached a couple of blinds below that I feel would suit the room you have described perfectly. https://www.makemyblinds.co.uk/speckle-cotton-ball.html https://www.makemyblinds.co.uk/rustic-weave-white.html The great thing is, you can order as many free samples of our blinds as you like, so you can make sure that you get the colour spot on. here's our full range of blackout roman blinds https://www.makemyblinds.co.uk/blackout-blinds/blackout-roman-blinds/ I hope this helped, and good luck with your decorating!...See Morecapeanner
