Blinds For Unconventional Windows

From elegant arched windows to cosy attic skylights, every home is different and some properties may be fitted with more unique windows than others. While these unconventional windows may look great, it can be tricky to find blinds to complement them; that’s why the team here at Solo Blinds has compiled some of the best blinds for different types of windows.

Best blinds for bay windows

Bay windows are a great addition to any home, providing a cosy, bright nook that’s ideal for reading or watching the world go by. 

For a neat, seamless look for your bay windows, Perfect Fit blinds are ideal and leave no gaps between the blind and the frame, allowing you complete control over the level of natural light. These innovative blinds clip snugly into the window frame with no tools or drilling required, making them a convenient, low-maintenance choice. 

Roller blinds are also a popular option and this compact, no-nonsense design will never go out of style. Given that they can be cut to any size and are available in a range of colours and patterns, roller blinds complement any bay window.

Best blinds for arched windows

Pleated blinds are particularly well suited to arched windows as they neatly fold back when not in use, emphasising the window’s unique shape and allowing this to remain the focal point of the room. With their corrugated texture and sleek design, they provide a tidy, elegant look while also ensuring excellent light control and insulation. 

Vertical blinds are another practical option for arched windows as they are versatile, easily adjustable and can hang along the curve of any window recess.

Best blinds for windows with a view

Some homes are blessed with beautiful views of the surrounding area and if so, you’ll want blinds that enhance this rather than block it out. 

Made up of two alternating layers of fabric – one sheer and one opaque – twist vision blinds are the ideal solution in this case as they allow privacy without obstructing your view. 

Venetian blinds are also a great choice for windows with a view as the horizontal slats can be easily adjusted to filter out glare while still allowing you to enjoy the scenery. When raised, they allow an uninterrupted view, making them a practical yet stylish choice.

Best blinds for skylights

Skylights are a great addition to any room where a lack of natural light might be a concern, such as an attic. However, these windows can often be hard to reach, presenting a problem when it comes to adjusting the level of light. 

Electric blinds are the solution, allowing you to effortlessly operate the blinds at just the touch of a button for maximum convenience. Here at Solo Blinds, we also supply skylight and Velux blinds that are specially designed for this type of window.

Best blinds for bifolding doors

Bifolding doors have become increasingly popular in recent years, and it’s little wonder why. These stylish doors create a wide opening that allows natural light to flood inside and connects your indoor and outdoor space. 

Bifolding door blinds are a stylish addition to any home and, here at Solo Blinds, we have a variety of blind styles to suit most types of bifold doors, such as Perfect Fit and Click Fit blinds. This allows total control over the level of light and privacy and, as the blinds are fitted to each individual panel of the bifolding door, they don’t impede operation and move with the door to ensure full functionality.

No matter what size or shape windows you have in your home, the team here at Solo Blinds can help. We supply a comprehensive range of blinds in a variety of styles to suit any interior and we’ve been supporting homeowners across Cramlington, Ashington, Morpeth, Blythe and beyond for more than 40 years.
