Best blinds for small windows

If your windows are a little on the small side, it can be difficult to find the perfect dressing and the best fit.

Small windows have their own individual size and shape, so you’ll need to find and order made-to-measure blinds to get the perfect fit.

You’ll find these at 247 Blinds. When it comes to dressing your window, you first need to identify the shape. Measuring your window will not only give you the numbers you need to create a made-to-measure blind, it will help you to discover which style of blind will suit your home. Whether your windows are short or thin, take a look at our best ideas for dressing small windows and see which ones work for you.

Best blinds for short windows

If your window is short and wide, or long and thin, then certain blinds could be more suited to these shapes.

Venetian styles make brilliant blinds for small windows. Not only do they give you control over light flow, the long, thin horizontal slats lend them self perfectly to a wider, short window. A wooden blind in the same style will also make a very attractive addition to any home – plus, they help bring a natural aesthetic to a room. Roller blinds would also be a great choice in a small window and are available in a blackout option – perfect if you’re dressing the windows in your bedroom.

If you have a very small short window, avoid picking a vertical blind. The vertical sections of fabric could look like they’ve been cut too short and won’t be best used here.

Best blinds for long, thin windows

If you have long, thin windows, there are a few options you can explore to get the most out of your window. If your window measures very thin and narrow, opt for vertical blinds first, as it looks more natural with long, flowing horizontal sections. A vertical can also be pulled completely open and will fit into your interior in a smooth, streamlined way.  

If your window is more than half a metre wide, but still long, a slatted venetian or wooden blind will look fantastic and will help you control the light flow to suit your personal preference. A flat window dressing like a roller may look overbearing if it’s too long, especially if it’s in a darker colour.
