Living Room Blinds

First of all, you should think about what you want from your living room blinds. This will help to determine key features and benefits to narrow down your search to find the best window coverings for your sitting room.

If your goal is to maximise privacy whilst still letting sunlight in, then wooden Venetian blinds are a great choice as you can tilt the slats to keep prying eyes out whilst still flooding the room with light. You can also add tapes to any of our wooden blinds which can add texture to your window coverings for a homely feel.

If your living room is south or west facing and gets hot during the summer months then you might want to think about opting for a thermal blind. Thermal blinds help to reflect heat out of the room in summer to keep the room cool and work as an insulator in winter to help keep heat in. Our thermal blinds are available as roller, roman and pleated blinds so you’ll have plenty of choice when deciding on a blinds that will match your requirements as well as your living room interior decor.

If you’re looking for something bold and bright to create a focal point in your living room or to break up muted tones within the rest of the lounge space, then our roller and Roman blinds come in a vast array of colour, patterns and prints for you to choose from.

Blackout blinds can be a great addition to a living room, but whether they are the best choice depends on your specific needs and preferences. If your sitting room doubles up as a cinema room then blackout blinds are a great choice to create a dark environment and eliminate screen glare so you can sit back and enjoy your home entertainment. Our Roman, roller, vertical and pleated blinds all offer a blackout lining option, meaning if you decide that blackout blinds are the best solution for your lounge windows, you’ll have an array of colours, patterns and textures to choose from.

Matching your blinds to your sofa can be a great way of tying your room decor together and creating a harmonious living room interior. Pairing your blinds with your sofa by matching their colour can make your room look more aesthetically pleasing if it’s a cohesive look that you are wanting to achieve. At 247 Blinds, we offer free samples to help you choose colours and finishes that will complement your existing decor.

Alternatively, your living room blinds don’t always have to exactly match your decor or furniture, in fact, opting for blinds in a contrasting colour, pattern or finish can be very effective. Rather than opting for the same colour blinds as your sofa or neutral palettes, choose complementary hues to create a trendy contrast. A top tip is to select colours that are on the opposite side of the colour wheel of one another to deliver a high-contrast colour combo that is bright and will pop!

If you’re someone that likes to change their blinds often to create a new look, opt for our twist & fit no-drill blinds, available as roller or Romans blinds, where you’ll have a huge choice of patterns and colours without having to use drills or screws.

Blinds are excellent at letting light into your room without compromising on privacy and are also a great option when you are looking for a sleek finish or if space is tight. Curtains, on the other hand, add warmth and texture to your living space and can help to keep heat in during the colder months when closed. At 247 Blinds, we recommended layering both to get the best of both worlds.
