Reasons To Install Blackout Roller Blinds For Bedrooms

When it comes to designing your homes, your bedroom is one of the most important rooms to consider. We want our bedrooms to be a calm, serene place for us to relax, forget about the day, and enjoy good quality sleep. That’s why blackout roller blinds are the perfect choice for your bedroom.

Blinds have become a much more popular choice for modern homeowners as opposed to standard curtains. They are easier to clean, easier to install and provide a neater, more elegant look to a bedroom.

If you are looking to install roller blinds in your bedroom, there are thankfully so many more styles on the market today than there have been in previous years. Many of the recommended bedroom blinds on offer include blackout lining as standard, which helps you create a peaceful sleeping environment. Blackout blinds not only use opaque fabrics to keep the light out and look stylish, but they are also helpful for keeping the heat in a room after the sun has gone down.

Why Blackout Roller Blinds Are A Great Choice For The Bedroom

Stylish

Blackout roller blinds are available in a wide selection of colours, patterns, and designs, allowing them to fit perfectly into any current bedroom decor.

Easy to Clean

You don’t need to remove blinds to clean them like you would with blackout curtains. Simply fully extend the blinds, vacuum any excess dust, then use a cloth with some soapy water to wipe the blinds down. If wiped with a microfiber cloth regularly, a deep clean will rarely be needed.

Help to Keep Bedrooms Warm

Thanks to the fabric which is used in blackout roller blinds, it’s difficult for light to enter a room, and heat to escape a room. The fabric also adds a layer of insulation, keeping the cold air out. During the summer months, this layer helps to keep the heat from the sun out of a room, thanks to the PVC backing that reflects the light away.

You Get a Good Night’s Sleep 

Roller blackout blinds help prevent light and sound pollution from entering your sanctuary, this allows for less disturbance during the night. After just a few good nights of sleep with the help of properly installed blackout blinds, it has been proven to have benefits to your mental health, physical wellbeing, and heart disease.

Blackout blinds are essential for an ideal, full night’s worth of good quality sleep as they eliminate any outside light including streetlights, they can even offer some acoustic dampening, providing you with a quieter place to relax. 

It has proven to be extremely beneficial to have this style of roller blind in children’s bedrooms, especially if you have a child who is unable to get a restful night during the summer months when it doesn’t go dark until 10 pm. However, if you are looking to install any style of blinds into a child’s bedroom, always ensure that the cord is not left hanging loose as this can be a safety hazard.

Opting For Bespoke Roller Blinds

When you are looking to install blackout roller blinds into your bedroom, it is always best to opt for a made to measure option. You can purchase some fantastic off-the-shelf roller blinds from almost anywhere these days, however, getting them to perfectly fit is the tricky bit. It’s a complete waste to purchase blackout blinds that have a gap between them and the window frame as they will not do their intended job, leading to a restless night’s sleep and an unfinished look.
