Find the perfect balance of light control, privacy, and style for your bedroom

When it comes to bedroom blinds, most people are aiming for a calm, private space with as little light disturbance as possible. While no blind can guarantee complete blackout – after all, light always finds a way in – we offer a wide range of room darkening solutions that significantly reduce light levels and improve sleep comfort.

At Hampshire Blinds and Shutters, we provide blinds and shutters to suit every taste and budget – from cost-effective roller blinds to enhanced systems like Shutter and Shade and Blind Screen™. You can also layer products such as Roman blinds with curtains or shutters with integrated blinds to boost room darkening performance. The right combination can get you very close to blackout – without overpromising what isn’t possible.

Roller Blinds with Blackout Fabric

Blackout roller blinds are a popular and budget-friendly option. They use a thick, light-blocking fabric and can be customised to suit your décor.

Pros:

• Cost-effective
• Wide fabric choice, including plains and patterns
• Neat and minimal finish

Cons:

• Light will creep in around the edges
• No privacy when the blind is raised

Roman Blinds

Roman blinds offer a softer, more decorative alternative. They’re made from high-quality curtain-style fabrics that fold up beautifully when raised and hang flat when lowered.

Advantages:

• Very small light gaps at the edges
• A wide range of beautiful, soft furnishing fabrics to match your décor
• A luxurious, tailored appearance

Bear in mind:

• Like roller blinds, Roman blinds are an all-or-nothing option — either up or down
• They’re most effective when fitted inside the recess or paired with curtains

Curtains with Blackout Lining

For homes without radiators under the windows, floor-to-ceiling curtains with a wave header and blackout lining can be a stunning and practical option. They help absorb sound, add insulation, and can fully block light if properly fitted. Curtains can also be used to complement blinds for a layered look and improved darkness.

Shutters for Bedrooms

Classic plantation shutters provide a long-lasting and elegant window covering. With louvred slats, they offer excellent privacy and control over natural light.

Benefits:

• Stylish and timeless
• Adjustable light control
• Durable and low-maintenance

Note: Some glow will appear around the slats and edges when closed.

Shutter and Shade

For those who need near-total darkness, Shutter and Shade is our premium solution. A room-darkening pleated blind is fitted discreetly behind the shutter, all within a slightly deeper frame.

Why choose it?

• Blocks almost all light
• Combines style with functionality
• Ideal for nurseries, shift workers, or light-sensitive sleepers
• Available with many of our shutter ranges – not available with UK-made shutters.

Blind Screen™ – The Ultimate in Light Control

Blind Screen™ is one of the best standalone blackout solutions we offer. This is a horizontal pleated blind system that operates from side to side, installed within a full frame to minimise light leakage.

Features:

• Room darkening or blackout fabrics available
• You can combine fabrics – e.g., blackout from one side, privacy voile or fly screen from the other
• Excellent for dual-function bedrooms used during both day and night

Ideal for:

• Bedrooms that double as home offices or dressing rooms
• Customers who want total flexibility with privacy and light control
