The ultimate guide to choosing the right roller blinds for every room
Whether you’re after elegance, ease, or just a clever way to soften the sunlight, roller blinds are your go-to for giving your windows a little love. In this guide, we’ll unravel how to choose the perfect roller blind design for every room in your home, covering everything from fabric choices and colour palettes to key functionality features to consider.
What are roller blinds?
Roller blinds are a single panel of fabric that rolls up neatly and discreetly into a tube, offering a fuss-free window solution that still feels polished. Their versatility makes them a must-have for any homeowner, available in a variety of styles and designs that can be customised to beautifully blend in with the décor in any room.
What to consider when choosing roller blinds
Room type: Every room has its own rhythm. Bedrooms call for calm and complete darkness. Kitchens need durable, wipeable fabrics, while living rooms are all about soft, flattering light.
Colour & design: Before browsing through palettes, consider the interior style of each room to avoid clashing, or to fill in what’s currently missing. You might want your blinds to make a bold statement against a neutral backdrop, or to soften a space already full of colour.
Material: Humid rooms like bathrooms and kitchens require moisture-resistant fabrics, while sun-drenched spaces benefit from UV-reflective or blackout options to keep interiors cool and furnishings from fading. So, make sure to check the material before installing.
Light & privacy: Whether you're after gentle daylight, complete darkness, or something in between, roller blinds can be tailored to suit the mood of the room. Sheer and light-filtering fabrics lend a dreamy glow, while blackout materials offer privacy, peace, and the perfect excuse for a lie-in.
Our top roller blind picks for each room
Living room
This is your sanctuary, your hosting space, your go-to Netflix-and-nibbles spot. You’ll want blinds that are both practical and stylish - light-filtering fabrics with subtly playful patterns are ideal, softening natural light to create a warm, relaxed atmosphere.
Try: Argent Champagne – with its subtle shimmer and soft texture, it brings a quiet glamour to your space while letting the light play gently through.
Bedroom
Sleep like royalty with blackout blinds that block out every flicker of light. Whether it’s sunrise or street lamps, make sure nothing disturbs the dreamy atmosphere you’ve created.
Try: Carnival Blackout Lily – a gentle, contemporary shade that cocoons your space in calm and helps you fully switch off.
Kitchen
The heart of the home needs function with flair. Go for blinds that can handle splashes, steam, and everyday chaos without compromising on style.
Try: Bora Cream or Bora Linen – each a love note to soft, neutral tones and designed to be wiped clean in seconds. They pair perfectly with brass fixtures or timber accents for an elevated, modern-rustic look.
H3: Home office
Productivity thrives in a calm, distraction-free environment. A blackout blind will help reduce glare and give your space a more focused, pulled-together feel.
Try: Carnival Blackout Navy – moody, smart, and deeply grounding. The rich tone gives your workspace a quiet authority (and looks great on Zoom too!)
H3: Bathroom or ensuite
In steamy, splash-prone spaces, you need a blind that’s practical but still delivers a spa-like aesthetic.
Try: Como Lago – easy to wipe clean and built to handle humidity, this calming design features ocean-inspired patterns and tones for a bubble bath-worthy beachy feel.
