A peaceful and private bedroom space is paramount to our well-being, and innovative bedroom blinds ideas alongside high-quality curtains for bedroom spaces can make a huge difference! 

At Terrys, we understand mixing functionality and aesthetics to best dress your bedroom window. In this guide, we will explore the best blinds for bedroom windows, innovative curtain ideas, and décor tips to enhance your space.

Go for Complete Darkness with Bedroom Blackout Blinds

The importance of having a dark and tranquil environment for a restful night's sleep cannot be overstated. It is a fundamental requirement to ensure that your sleep is undisturbed and rejuvenating. When it comes to achieving this, blackout blinds are an excellent solution. 

Blackout blinds are specifically designed to cater to the needs of anyone who is particularly sensitive to light, or individuals that have bedrooms facing East/West (which will receive more direct sunlight). They excel in their ability to block out light effectively, creating a cocoon of darkness that promotes uninterrupted slumber.

What sets these blinds apart is not just their exceptional practicality, but also their aesthetic versatility. They are moreover available in a wide array of textures and hues and can be made to measure, making them a perfect fit for a variety of bedroom styles! You can use our size calculators if you’re unsure of which dimensions to go for. 

Whether you have a penchant for the traditional or lean towards a more contemporary look, we have bedroom blackout blinds ideas to suit everyone. From rich, classic textures to sleek and modern designs, they are both functional and stylish, ensuring that your bedroom is not only a peaceful retreat, but also a visually appealing space.

You could opt for a classic black style like the Lugano Roman Blinds.

Venetian and Roman Blinds: A Mix of Elegance and Versatility

Modern bedroom blinds ideas often revolve around Venetian blinds, which gives you control over light and your privacy. As an extra bonus, they can be seamlessly integrated into any bedroom décor. 

Wooden Venetian blinds are a particularly great option for introducing an organic element to your bedroom, creating a sense of nature and calm, such as these  Elementi Wood blinds in Honey. 

Conversely, Roman blinds exude luxury with their soft drapery effect. Available in a range of fabrics and designs (or as DIY Roman blind kits if you have your own fabric in mind) they present an air of sophistication while being remarkably user-friendly.

One of our most popular sets is this Stags Roman Blind in Charcoal:

 

Roller Blinds: The Epitome of Simplicity

For those who favour a more minimalist approach, roller blinds are a fantastic choice. These blinds are available in an assortment of designs, from subtle to striking, as well as in moisture-resistant materials that are perfect for easy care.

We love this beautiful set from Cath Kidston, sure to bring a floral touch to any room with blackout features to ensure an uninterrupted sleep.

Uniquely Styled Blinds: From Dual-Function to Designer Selections

One of the best blinds for bedroom windows options are day and night blinds, which cater best to those seeking a bit of versatility. With their dual fabric layers, they are a modern solution to managing daylight. Those wanting a designer look are catered for with selections such as the Orla Kiely range, offering fun retro-inspired patterns to become the focal point of any bedroom.

The Silos Roman Blind in Pewter has a soft shimmer that plays with the light to give a dreamy bedroom vibe.

Or add a designer colour pop with the Orla Kiely range in Tomato.

Bedroom Curtain Combinations

While blinds for bedroom windows serve well on their own, adding curtains into the mix can have endless stylish benefits. Luxury bedroom curtains can be selected to either contrast with or complement your blinds, creating a layered and plush look.

For example, we recommend going for a plain neutral blind, paired with a dreamy print like the Sara Miller Teal Heron set, here:

Elevating the Luxury Through Layering

Opting for luxurious textures or patterns in curtains brings an additional layer of opulence. Consider plush velvets or intricate patterns draped over sheer blinds to strike a balance between grandeur and practicality — particularly in master bedrooms where you want to make a statement!

Blackout Curtains For Bedrooms: For Uninterrupted Snoozing 

Pairing blackout curtains with blinds maximises the room's darkening effects, which is especially beneficial for shift workers. They’re also great for those living in urban areas with strong night-time street lighting or anyone serious about the quality of their slumber.

However, making your room dark doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice colour. For example, these stunning Vogue Ready Made Thermal Blockout Eyelet curtains are perfect for adding a pop of sunshine, while blocking out any unwanted light. 


The Appeal of Short Curtains

Short curtains for bedroom settings can convey an informal, breezy vibe and are an ideal choice for smaller spaces where long drapes may overwhelm the room.

Matching Bedroom Blinds and Curtains with Décor

To achieve a cohesive bedroom theme, consider the colour palette of your blinds and curtains. Pastel or neutral tones cultivate tranquillity, while bold shades can add vitality and character. For a harmonious ambience, explore the range of greens and blues in Terrys' collections, such as roller blinds in green and blinds in duck egg. These colours evoke calmness and serenity, essential for a peaceful bedroom setting.

Expert Styling Tips for Bedroom Windows

  • Contemporary Edge: Match minimalist roller blinds with patterned curtains to inject personality into a modern scheme. Explore the variety of blue roller blinds for a cool, contemporary finish.
  • Timeless Tradition: Wooden Venetian blinds paired with heavyweight curtains create an atmosphere of stately elegance. It's a classic look that never goes out of style.
  • Childlike Wonder: In children's bedrooms, playful children’s blinds adorned with fun prints can be matched with equally lively curtains to stimulate imagination and joy.
  • Dramatic Flair: Utilise distinctive designs for a strong style statement, complementing with more subdued curtains to balance the look.

Accessorising Your Bedroom: The Finishing Touches

Accessorising is the final step in bedroom design. Curtains and blinds can serve as the foundation for your bedroom's colour scheme or theme. Add cushions, bedspreads, and rugs in corresponding tones to tie the room together, or choose contrasting accessories to add interest and depth.

To wrap up, selecting the right blinds or curtains for bedroom enhancements is about blending practicality with your unique style narrative. With Terrys’ extensive range, finding the best bedroom blinds and complementary curtains is straightforward, allowing your bedroom to evolve into a restful sanctuary tailored to your taste.
