I have no idea if they are duette or not. It's so long ago now that I can't remember what they are called but they are a pleated blind. Mine aren't black out as it's a sunroom but I'm sure you could get a black out option if needed. I have attached some more photos so you can see what they look like open. As others have said it might be worth shopping around. It's a long time since we got ours so there could well be more companies doing a similar product now.

Hi, I personally wouldn't go for any type of blind and especially not white, the whole room is that colour and it's going to look really cold. Shutters are fabulous, other people have mentioned these, but the custom made shape is going to cost! However, i think the cheapest and most sumptuous option is the curtains on two cafe rods covering the whole gable. If you are after a cheap way of doing these, you'd be surprised at who you can find on Facebook in your local area! After all, we are only talking about the material and thermal backing for one long window. They don't need header tapes, just a small pocket for a cafe rod on each side. So they are basic in their sewing requirements.

I have a bay window which is 365cm wide. Over the years I found wide enough curtains at Dunelm, but they don’t seem to do this size anymore. I also made my own curtains once. It wasn’t difficult but quite laborious. I found a cheapish plain fabric, joined it up to increase the width, hemmed it all round, then attached heading tape. They looked pretty good. Eventually, I ordered made to measure curtains at Laura Ashley which I still love. They cost around £550 for the bay window. One thing you could do is buy two pairs of curtains (so 4 individual curtains). When they are open you will not see the gaps, or maybe you could tack them discretely together? Just an idea.

Blinds would be the better option and would help the room feel more spacious. Wooden venetian blinds are good for controlling the light effectively, and would suit that window perfectly. You could also go for roman blinds, or if you're looking to block out as much light as possible, a blackout roller blind. You can always order blind samples to see for yourself and decide which blinds you like best. https://www.makemyblinds.co.uk/wooden-blinds/ https://www.makemyblinds.co.uk/roman-blinds/ https://www.makemyblinds.co.uk/blackout-blinds/blackout-roller-blinds/
