Choosing Blackout Blinds for a Bedroom

Understand the difference between room-darkening fabric, fit and the light gaps around a window. Start with the way you use the room, then compare the window itself and the styles that suit its shape.

Things to compare

• Choose a fabric opacity that matches the room’s use.
• Consider the position of the blind relative to the window recess.
• Look at side channels or specialist systems if reducing edge light matters.
• Check that the controls suit the people using the room.

Samples and a careful measure can help you make a confident choice. Product details and availability depend on the exact range, so confirm specifications before ordering.
