Bedroom Blinds

I cant think what theyre called - theyre the ones that are like loads of horizontal slats which you twist shut. These are awful. We had them in our bedroom and they let in soooo much light. I never really noticed how bad until we put curtains in! There not so bad in the winter with the dark nights/mornings - but summer was the reason we changed.

Roller blinds though, well anything thats solid fabric without gaps - as long as it states 'black out' and you have them inside the window so when rolled down they sit on the window sill, not hanging over, are really good.

We have black out roller blinds and i love them. I would never go back to vienitian (sp) ones.

I have wooden Venetian ones and I love them. I may be off but online of like the fact that the room's not too dark when I wake up?

Blackout roller blind for me, wouldn't have anything else. I like the room pitch black when I shut it.

We are about to get some quotes for wooden venetians but I want plantation shutters☹️

I always find blinds let light in round the edges and end up with curtains as well. Make sure that if you get ones with a cord you fit the safety device for the cord too as you are having a baby

We have Venetian wooden slatted blinds in all our windows. I tilt them upwards so people can't see in but you still get a glow of light in the morning, it helps me to wake up!!

We have blackout roller blinds behind prettier roman blinds. Double whammy!

Roller blinds all the way!

We have cream roller blinds on all of the front windows Pulled only 1/3 of the way down so it's all uniform with curtains for night time and privacy. One of our Kitchen blinds is wooden slats and it is a dust trap and a pain to keep clean.

I love white shutters ❤️

Thanks for the advice ladies, we've orderd 2 roman black out blinds as we like it quite dark in the morning, only 2 small windows and got them custom made so hopefully the light spill wont be too bad!

Me too! I love Venetians. They look sooooo much prettier than fabric blinds.

This was my room this morning at 8am with bright sunshine directly at the window...

Light dusting with a feather duster every week keeps them clean with a proper wipe down every so often...
