Best blinds for skylights and small windows

When natural light pours in through your windows and skylights, your home instantly feels more bright, airy and inviting. But when it comes to creating a cosy cave where you can kick back and relax, you want to keep the rays at bay – and here’s where blinds can come in handy.

It can be a challenge to find dressings that fit more unusually shaped windows, like smaller sizes or ones fitted in your roof. Before you get out the tape measure, consider which blinds will look and function the best. We’ve put together some of the best blinds for skylights and small windows to help you.

Loft blinds

Loft blinds can fit seamlessly into your interior aesthetic and are ideal for shutting out the world above. They’re most at home in loft conversions or downstairs extensions. We stock our own loft blinds alongside skylight blinds from major window manufactures like VELUX and roofLITE.

When you’re considering which skylight blinds to choose, think about your decor. With a whole host of different colours and patterns available, you’re bound to find one to complement your interior styling. For total darkness, check out blackout loft blinds – ideal for bedrooms in an attic conversion.

Roller Blinds

If you’re looking to cover a small window in your hallway, utility or home office, roller blinds are a smart choice. Adding a touch of interest with eye-catching colours and patterns, roller blinds can give you privacy and stop the light streaming through.

You can get roller blinds specially made to fit inside a window frame for a streamlined effect, or outside the recess if you want to add a bit of interest and depth. Click here to browse our range of roller blinds – crafted from high quality material, they’re both stylish and practical.

Venetian blinds

Adding small blinds to your window doesn’t have to plunge the entire room into darkness. With Venetian blinds, the slats can be adjusted to let in as much or as little natural light as you desire. On sunny days, you can open the whole blind and let the beams pour in.

You’ll find our Venetian blinds come in a variety of shades – so you should have no trouble finding one to match your interior flawlessly. We also have faux-wood Venetian blinds which don’t warp – making them ideal for kitchens, bathrooms or any other space which may have lots of moisture.

Skylights and small windows can do wonders for the ambience of your abode. With the right blinds you can create a cosy haven to relax in, too. If you need advice on how to measure for skylight or small window blinds, check out our measuring guide.
