What’s the Right Style for You?

Not all blackout blinds are built the same – and that’s a good thing. Some work better in small rooms where space is tight, others look best in cosy bedrooms or big front-facing windows. What matters most is finding a blind that does its job and fits your space the right way.

Here at Kirkby Blinds in Liverpool, we make every blind to measure and fit it properly, so it works exactly how it should. Whether you need something that blends in, stands out, or just gets the room darker when it matters, we’ve got a few options that might suit. Take a look below to get a feel for what might work best.

A Few Things Worth Thinking About

Picking out blinds isn’t just about colours or patterns – it’s about how they’ll actually work in your space. Start by thinking about how the room is used and how the windows function. If it’s somewhere you rarely go, like a guest room, something decorative might do the trick. But for a busy kitchen or a home office, it makes more sense to go for something low-maintenance that’s easy to clean.

If you’ve got tilt-and-turn windows or live in rented accommodation, Perfect Fit Blackout Blinds are a neat choice – no drilling needed. And if little ones are running around, we’ve got cordless options to help keep things safer. We take the time to figure out what works in each room because no two homes are exactly the same.

Roman blackout blinds

Roman Blackout Blinds

Roman blinds are a good choice if you’re after something soft that still keeps the light out. They fold up neatly during the day and drop down smooth when it’s time to rest. A lot of people go for these in bedrooms or living rooms – anywhere you want things to feel a bit cosier.

We measure everything properly so they sit right in the frame, even if your windows aren’t standard. Got a bay window? No problem. You can pick from loads of fabrics, whether you want something plain, patterned, bright or neutral.

Roller Blackout Blinds

If you’re after something tidy and straightforward, blackout roller blinds are a top pick. They block out light with one smooth pull, and roll away cleanly when not in use. Great for bedrooms, offices or anywhere you want a no-nonsense option that works quietly in the background.

Vertical blackout blinds

Vertical Blackout Blinds

Vertical blinds are great if you’ve got big windows or sliding doors. You can turn the slats to let in just a bit of light, or close them fully when you need the room dark. They’re handy in places like lounges, offices, or anywhere with lots of glass.

They’re also good if you want more control without having to go full blackout all the time. Nice and straightforward – and they don’t take up much space.
