Bedroom Blinds – Choosing the Right Option for a Great Night’s Sleep
When it comes to bedroom blinds, most people are looking for a solution that will darken the room to help them get a better night’s sleep. But that’s not the only factor to consider – daytime privacy, budget, and the overall look and feel of the room all play a role in finding the perfect blind.
At Berkshire Blinds and Shutters, we offer a range of bedroom blinds to suit all needs – from room darkening blinds to privacy-enhancing options, and everything in between.

🌙 Room Darkening Blinds – Ideal for Better Sleep
If you’ve been searching for “best blinds for darkening bedrooms”, then options like Pleated Blinds, Roman Blinds, or our innovative Blind Screen range are a great place to start. These styles help reduce incoming light and make the room significantly darker – ideal for bedrooms facing street lights or early sunrises.
These styles are typically either open or closed, so while they’re perfect for night-time darkness, they don’t offer much flexibility for daytime privacy.
✔️ Benefits:
- Great for darkening the room
- Pleated options fit neatly into window recesses
- Roman blinds offer a stylish, tailored finish
⚠️ Things to consider:
- Not adjustable for partial privacy
- Some light may still filter through or around the blind
- Fabric and lining choices (particularly with Romans) can affect cost
🛑 Blinds for Privacy
Daytime Control Without Losing Light
If your priority is “privacy blinds for bedrooms” or “blinds that let in light but keep out prying eyes”, then Venetian Blinds and Shutters are a great solution. These let you adjust the angle of the slats to control light while maintaining privacy during the day.
Shutters provide a classic, long-term solution. Venetians (available in faux wood or aluminium) are a more cost-effective and flexible alternative.
✔️ Benefits:
- Adjustable slats for light control and privacy
- Stylish and durable
- Suitable for a wide range of interior styles
⚠️ Things to consider:
- Light will filter through creating a dim-out style blind
- Shutters are a higher-end investment compared to most blinds
💷 Cost Effective Room Darkening – Roller Blinds
If you’re looking for “affordable blinds to darken a bedroom”, Room Darkening Roller Blinds offer excellent value. Made from specialist fabric that reduces light transmission, they’re a practical choice for improving sleep without breaking the bank.
They also pair well with curtains or voile panels to soften the look or improve privacy during the day.
✔️ Benefits:
- Cost-effective way to reduce light in the bedroom
- Clean, simple design
- Available in a wide range of colours and prints
⚠️ Things to consider:
- Operate in an open or closed position

What type of blinds are best for bedrooms?
Room darkening blinds like roller, pleated, or Roman blinds are great for reducing light at night. Venetian blinds and shutters are ideal if you also want privacy and light control during the day.
Do your blinds block all the light?
No blind can block 100% of light. Room darkening blinds significantly reduce light levels, but some light may still enter around the edges or through the fabric depending on the installation and fabric choice.
Can I get privacy during the day with room darkening blinds?
The best room darkening blinds are either open or closed, so they don’t offer partial privacy during the day. Venetian blinds and shutters are better for daytime privacy while still letting in light or layer up with Shutter and Shade or blinds and curtains for both privacy and light control.
What’s the most affordable way to darken a bedroom?
Room darkening roller blinds are a great value option. They’re effective, simple, and available in many styles to match your decor.
Do shutters help with darkening a bedroom?
Shutters help reduce light, especially when closed, but they’re not a total darkening solution. For better results, consider pairing them with an integrated shade.
