Blinds help
1. BEDROOM
We'd like:
- sunlight to come in all day
- all day privacy from the neighbour who can see in at an angle
- blackout at night
( I was thinking voiles for day & blackout roller blinds for night. thoughts?)
* if you suggest curtains/ voiles let me know if they should reach the ledge or floor
LIVING ROOM
- what would you suggest we use for the door? Will be needed to reduce glare on tv
- what would you use for the main windows?
thank you so much

7 years agoHi,
If you use curtains always do them to the floor, never look good if they are short. You will need to add void into the window for privacy.
Just a thought but I have exactly the same issue at home. I have a three floor townhouse and the neighbour looks straight in... We have put plantation shutters on all windows now. The shutters are white and the slats are 70mm wide so they look really modern. The advantage is that if you set them at 45 degrees light floods in but you have total privacy... Its worked well for us.
Hope that helps,Regards, Martin: www.angelmartin.com

Comments (6)I've been thinking about different ways i could dress my sliding doors, and i'm thinking it might be nice to go for something quite interesting rather than purely practical. So you could get some hooks or door knobs/handles or something similar that you could screw in either side, and tie a nice thick rope going across. Then you could slot through a sheer or soft style curtain and tie up with some pretty ribbon. I couldn't quite find a photo to illustrate but this is sort of similar. Hope this helps!...See MoreBlind help needed:
Comments (3)Sorry messy post! Dilemma is I don't like velux blinds they feel dated and the alternative plain roller/blackout blinds block half the window but offer no privacy by day! Any suggestions? Thanks...See MoreRoller blinds or pleated blinds for your conservatory?
Comments (0)If you were at a point of choosing blinds for your conservatory, what would you go for? We are keen to find out what your thoughts are. Let us know what you would opt for and why; a roof and side roller blinds or all pleated? Below there is a general description on both for guidance Roller blinds- Great at adding thermal comfort and the desired black out effect, reducing UV damage, glare and adding total privacy. Managed through a cable system, height can be easily regulated manually and may be motorised for total comfort. Pleated blinds- Concertina blinds allow sunlight to shine through, without compromising privacy. The blinds will help to keep the conservatory cool and when they’re not in use they can be drawn back through the pleats, into a slim and neat pack, without the need for cables. Thank you for giving us your opinion!...See Morehasmuk

7 years agoHi,
We have them in every room.
Brilliant at blocking light in lounge, kitchen etc...
In the bedroom we angle them up and they give a really good light block "but" its not a full light block, there are gaps around the blades that gives a little light bleed. If you want a full light block you need blackout blinds or heavy curtains. Its a personal thing really, I like the light level they create but some people need an absolute blackout..
Hope that helps,

7 years agoHi, for the bedroom you could have a bottom up roller blind in a sunscreen fabric. This would allow you to roll up the fabric so that your neighbours can't see in but still allow light in. Sunscreen fabric itself allows a view out whilst providing some privacy. In addition, you could have a blackout roller blind for night time. Alternatively, you could just have a bottom up roller blind in blackout fabric, but you wouldn't be getting as much light in the day.
For the living room, we would suggest a sunscreen roller blind for the door and window. Sunscreen fabric is perfect for cutting glare on tvs.
Here are some bottom up roller blinds in sunscreen fabric which we installed recently.
