What Blinds Offer the Best Privacy for Bedrooms?

What Blinds Offer the Best Privacy for Bedrooms?

Blinds for privacy in bedrooms are key! We spend lots of time in our bedrooms from sleeping to relaxing, and even getting ready for the day. So, your bedroom blind is probably the most important blind you’re ever going to buy.

It’s important to determine exactly what you’d like your blinds to do before picking the best blinds for privacy. This will ensure you’re gaining the maximum benefit.

For most people, your bedroom blinds are going to need to do more than offering just privacy. If you’re sensitive to light during the night, you’re going to need blinds that will dim or block out the light. And then if during the day whilst the blinds are open you also want to maintain your privacy, you’re going to need blinds for privacy and light control.

No matter what your requirements are, at A1 Blinds we’ve got the answer! We’re always on hand to find you the perfect blinds for privacy, light control, warmth, style and more. So, If you need any support finding the perfect bedroom blinds, please don’t hesitate to contact us at info@a1blindsuk.co.uk  or 0800 193 0417. But for now, have a read of this blog for our recommendations on the best blinds for privacy for your bedroom!

Roman Blinds for Privacy in Bedrooms

Thanks to being made of a single piece of soft plush fabric, Romans are a fantastic choice of blinds for privacy in bedrooms. Once the blinds are closed, you’ll enjoy complete privacy, and whilst they’re open the natural light will flood in.

Roman blinds are an especially good choice for the bedroom when you opt for a dimout or blackout lining. This will help to get the best sleep possible by keeping your bedroom nice and dark through the night. As well as adding an extra layer of privacy!

Roller Blinds for Privacy in Bedrooms

Much like Roman blinds, rollers will act as excellent blinds for privacy once closed. They offer more of a sleek look than roman blinds and will create the perfect window dressing for a minimalist décor.

Again, roller blinds are available with dimout and blackout linings which will add an extra layer of privacy and reduce the light flooding into your bedroom.

Venetian Blinds for Privacy and Light Control in Bedrooms

As we mentioned earlier, privacy during the daytime is also important. So, you may want to consider blinds for privacy and light control. At A1 Blinds we have plenty of styles for this requirement. First up, Venetian blinds.

Venetian blinds are fantastic as they offer lots of options when it comes to light filtering and privacy control. You can raise them completely or close them completely – like all blinds. But what makes Venetian blinds different is their adjustable horizontal slats. These slats can be tilted up to 180 degrees, so you have complete control of how much privacy and light you achieve in your bedroom.

Venetians are available in aluminium, wood, faux wood and UPVC options, in a variety of colours. However, They aren’t available in dimout or blackout options. Not to worry though, if you are sensitive to light when you sleep, there are still options. You could layer them up with an exact-fitting roller or Roman blind which will sit over the top. Or even a curtain if you’d like!

Vertical Blinds for Privacy and Light Control in Bedrooms

Like Venetian’s, vertical blinds have tilting slats that make them fantastic blinds for privacy and light control in the bedroom. These slats are vertical and made of coloured and patterned fabrics.

Vertical blinds come in dimout and blackout fabric options too. No wonder they’re such a popular choice!

Shutters for Privacy and Light Control in Bedrooms

Instead of blinds for privacy, have you considered shutters? Shutters are increasingly popular and it’s most certainly down to their functionality and aesthetic combined. They have adjustable slats and can also be opened and closed fully, as you wish!

So not only will shutters look beautiful, they’ll add a touch of elegance to any bedroom! Choose from a range of neutral and dark wood tones, as well as a variety of different styles.

Shutters, vertical and Venetian blinds, all provide varying levels of privacy and light control, making them the perfect blinds for privacy in your bedroom!

Case Study: Bradley Hall Head Office

Case Study: Bradley Hall Head Office

Custom Branded Roller Blinds for Bradley Hall’s Grey Street HQ

Client: Bradley Hall
Location: Grey Street, Newcastle upon Tyne
Sector: Commercial Property
Scope: Custom Branded and Non-Branded Roller Blinds Across Two Floors
Project Status: Delivered to Spec, On Time, Within 2 Weeks

The Project

We were commissioned to design and install a combination of branded and non-branded roller blinds for Bradley Hall’s stunning new head office on Newcastle’s iconic Grey Street. The blinds not only enhance the aesthetic of the new space, but also provide practical year-round comfort.


What the Client Needed

As the building is listed, Bradley Hall were unable to use external signage to display their brand identity. They needed an interior solution that would subtly represent their brand in a stylish, professional way, while still providing effective solar shading and heat retention.


The Challenge

  • No external signage permitted due to the heritage status of the building.
  • No parking for unloading equipment.
  • 4-metre-high windows requiring specialist ladder access.
  • Narrow spiral staircases, making it difficult to manoeuvre materials without damaging freshly decorated walls and doors.

The client also required a rapid turnaround ahead of moving into their new space.


How We Overcame It

Our team designed and manufactured a blend of branded and non-branded roller blinds, ensuring a cohesive look across two floors. The installation required exceptional care and expertise to work safely within the constraints of a heritage building.

Despite the logistical hurdles, we delivered the entire project from initial enquiry to completion in under 2 weeks, meeting Bradley Hall’s deadlines without compromising on quality.


The Result

The finished installation delivered:

  • Stylish integration of Bradley Hall’s branding into the new office.
  • Effective shading and thermal control for year-round comfort.
  • Seamless delivery within a limited timeframe.
  • A high-quality installation, despite the challenges of restricted access and building constraints.

Client Feedback

“Huge thanks to you and the team Kevin! Fantastic service from start to finish, quick turnaround and quality product and installation. They look great!”

– Sharon Boyd, Chief Operating Officer, Bradley Hall North East / Yorkshire


The Bigger Picture

This project demonstrates our ability to combine branding, design, and practicality, even in heritage or conservation-area buildings where signage is restricted. It also underlines our expertise in overcoming complex site challenges and delivering under tight time pressures.

Case Study: Newcastle Airport Control Tower

40 Custom Tension Pleated Blinds for Newcastle Airport Control Tower

Client: Newcastle International Airport
Location: Newcastle upon Tyne
Sector: Aviation – Air Traffic Control
Scope: 40 Bespoke Tension Pleated Blinds
Project Status: Delivered to Spec, On Time

The Project

We were commissioned to design and install 40 custom tension pleated blinds for Newcastle International Airport’s Air Traffic Control Tower. This wasn’t a straightforward job – the tower’s unique architecture and operational restrictions made it one of the most complex installations we’ve ever delivered.


What the Client Needed

The brief was simple but critical: shading and light control in an environment where visibility is paramount. The blinds needed to perform flawlessly to reduce glare, enhance comfort, and maintain clear sightlines for air traffic controllers at all times.


The Challenge

The tower’s design created a unique technical challenge: the windows are narrower at the top than the bottom. This meant the blinds had to operate in reverse, raising issues with tension and stability. Getting them to stay in place was no small feat.


How We Overcame It

Our team engineered a bespoke solution using:

  • Maximum tension throughout each blind system
  • Reinforced top bars for durability
  • Discreet magnetic strips to keep blinds secure

We worked closely with the client throughout, being completely transparent about the technical hurdles. To build confidence, we produced working samples that were tested and signed off before full manufacture began.


Working in a Live Air Traffic Control Tower

This wasn’t just a technical project – it was also about precision planning. Working in one of the UK’s busiest control towers meant strict security measures:

  • All staff were vetted and security checked
  • Passports had to be presented at each entry
  • Access was tightly restricted and visits limited

To meet these requirements, we planned every step of the installation around an agreed programme of works, ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and minimal disruption to airport operations.


The Result

The new blinds have transformed the tower environment, delivering:

✅ Glare reduction
✅ Improved visibility for controllers
✅ Greater comfort in a high-pressure workplace

The client praised not only the quality of the finished product but also our communication, professionalism, and how smoothly the installation was managed.


The Bigger Picture

This project highlights our ability to deliver bespoke blind solutions for even the most complex environments. From innovative design to meticulous project management, we can adapt to buildings where standard systems simply won’t work.


Ready for the Next One

If you’ve got a project that demands a tailored shading solution – whether it’s an airport, a commercial office, or a uniquely shaped building – we’ve got the expertise to deliver.

Get in touch with our team today to discuss how we can design, manufacture, and install blinds that meet your exact requirements.
