Blinds for Home Offices – Glare, Heat & Noise Control

🪟 Blinds for Home Offices

Over the past five years, the way we work has changed dramatically. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, working from home has become the new normal for many people across the UK. Whether full-time or hybrid, home-based working is now an expected part of modern life—and that means home offices need to be more than just a spare room with a desk.

At Berkshire Blinds and Shutters, we supply and install made-to-measure blinds that are tailored to the needs of home offices—whether they’re inside the main house or in a garden outbuilding such as a summer house, studio, or converted garage. From reducing screen glare and managing temperature to creating a quieter, more focused environment, our blinds are designed to help you stay comfortable, professional, and productive at home.

🖥️ Reduce Screen Glare with Dimout Blinds

If you’ve ever struggled to see your laptop or monitor clearly on a sunny day, you’ll know how important glare control is. Dimout fabrics filter the light coming into your office, helping to reduce glare & reflections without darkening the room completely.

We offer a wide selection of blinds in dimout fabrics, including cellular pleated blinds—both ideal for home offices. They create a comfortable working environment while letting in enough natural light to keep the space feeling fresh and open.

They’re also well-suited to Perfect Fit frames, which integrate neatly with UPVC windows—ideal for rooms with limited space or where you want a clean, uncluttered finish.

🌡️ Manage Heat and Light in Garden Offices

Home offices in summer houses or outbuildings are increasingly popular—but they often come with a few extra challenges. South-facing garden rooms, in particular, can get uncomfortably warm during the day and lose heat quickly at night.

Our cellular pleated blinds are a great solution. With their double-layered honeycomb design, they trap air to help insulate the space—keeping it cooler in summer and warmer in winter.

For added performance, we recommend dimout fabrics with a solar reflective coating (SRC) on the reverse. These reflect UV Heat back out through the glass, helping to maintain a comfortable temperature without blocking all the natural light.

🔇 Acoustic Comfort for Focused Working

One of the hidden challenges of working from home is background noise—from household sounds to passing traffic or noisy neighbours. Unlike a traditional office, a home workspace is rarely acoustically insulated.

Blinds can play an important role in softening sound and reducing distractions. Cellular pleated blinds, in particular, have a natural sound-dampening effect thanks to their honeycomb structure. When combined with soft furnishings like carpets and curtains, they help create a quieter, more focused environment—ideal for Zoom calls or concentrated work.

For even greater noise reduction, consider pairing Lined Curtains or Roman blinds (mounted outside the recess) with Venetian blinds inside the window. This not only improves acoustic performance but also allows you to style the space to suit your home’s décor.

🪞 Venetian Blinds: Stylish and Practical

Venetian Blinds are a classic choice for home offices—and with good reason. They offer excellent control over light and privacy, allowing you to adjust the slats to reduce glare without completely blocking out the daylight.

We offer a range of Aluminium and Faux Wood Venetian Blinds that suit both traditional and contemporary home offices:

• Aluminium Venetians: Sleek, minimal and easy to wipe clean—ideal for compact or tech-focused workspaces.
• Faux Wood Venetians: More homely in appearance and flame retardant as standard, they’re a smart choice for multifunctional rooms, or if you occasionally welcome clients or colleagues into your home.

They’re also available with Motorised Control, offering effortless adjustment at the touch of a button—ideal for setting the right level of light and privacy throughout the day.

Whether you’re switching between video calls and focused work or simply want to avoid reaching over furniture, Motorised Venetian Blinds bring added convenience to your home office without compromising on style.

🌗 Flexible Light Control

Roller Blinds and Day & Night Blinds

For a simple and streamlined finish, Roller Blinds remain a popular option in home offices—especially when space is at a premium. They’re neat, functional, and available in a wide range of fabrics, including dimout options to help reduce glare on screens without making the room feel dark.

One particularly versatile style is the Day and Night Roller Blind—a clever alternative to standard rollers. These use alternating layers of sheer and opaque fabric to offer flexible light control throughout the day. You can position the stripes to enjoy natural light and outward visibility while preventing others from seeing in, or close them fully for extra privacy and a dimmed effect.

This dual-function design makes Day and Night Blinds an excellent choice for anyone balancing video calls, focused work, and the occasional after-hours catch-up—without having to adjust the blind constantly as the light changes.

These blinds can also be Motorised for effortless control and can pair seamlessly with a Smart Home Hub, allowing you to adjust your blinds with just a Voice Command.
