Roller blinds create a modern, sleek aesthetic with an easy to use mechanism to control the amount of light let in.
Find out some of the key benefits of having roller blinds throughout your home and how to measure your windows for them.
Which Fabric Is Best For Roller Blinds?
When deciding on the correct roller blinds for your home, consider which room you’re decorating carefully. If you’re updating a bedroom with new blinds, it might be important to have blackout blinds, ensuring the room stays darker for longer.
There are other options for light management of course. As well as blackout blinds, you may want to consider sheer roller blinds too. Instead of totally blocking out light, these blinds simply filter light coming through. As well as light controlling options it is also important to consider the room in which the blinds are going in to. For example, you may want waterproof or roller blinds that are easier to maintain if they are going in the kitchen.
Blackout Blinds
If you opt for blackout roller blinds, make sure that the size fits snug in the window frame to ensure complete blocking of light when required. Alternatively, fit them to the outside of the window frame for the same effect.
Roller Blinds Save Space
Do you currently have curtains up? If so, you’ll know that they take up space due to being hung outside of the window frame and draping down to a certain level. Whilst this may be minimal it can prevent having furniture placed under your windows or certainly create an unnecessary hassle.
With roller blinds, because they sit inside of the frame, taking up very little space. When not in use, as the name suggests they simply roll up neatly to the top of the window taking up no space at all. This can mean smaller spaces such as kitchen windows, home offices or bedrooms become the best choice and you’ll be truly surprised at how much space is really saved.

How Do I Measure For Roller Blinds?
The first thing to do before measuring for your blinds is deciding whether you want them fitted inside the window recess or on the outside. For Blackout or dim out blinds, we recommend a much more snug fit if you opt for installing inside the recess. To be safe, blackout blinds work just as well when fitted outside of the window recess.
How Do I Measure For Roller Blinds?
To save the most space and create a neater look, fit your roller blinds inside of the window recess. In order to measure up for this, make sure to measure the width at the bottom, middle and top of your window recess. It’s important when measuring to round down and not up to ensure that your new blinds fit perfectly within the window frame.
