bedroom roller blind - blackout or not?

katejo

I am looking for a roller blind for a bedroom that has previously had curtains. I have never previously bought blinds for a bedroom. Are blackout ones necessarily needed? Am I likely to regret it if I buy a standard roller blind or wooden venetian blind?

And again. You will rue the day if you don't.

I have a white wooden venetian blind in my dressing room and it does keep out nearly all the light when it is closed.

I would have one in my bedroom.

For the small extra cost - definitely blackout, especially for a bedroom where silhouettes will be a problem.


If you can get one with metal fixings, the plastic ones I find really tricky to attach.


I have had some nice ones from Amazon and ebay

Don't forget in summer it starts getting bright at about 4am!!!!! Without a blackout that would a real pain! Also an afternoon snooze can become difficult without a blackout blind.
Definately blackout for a bedroom. Check the blind first though, some are only coloured on the inside (B&Q!), the outer is a white shiny plastic that looks awful from outside. You really want one thats coloured on both sides.

You have very good choices for putting roller blinds in the bedroom. Roller blinds make the room look beautiful. It gives classy touch the the bedroom.
