How to Choose the Right Indoor Roller Blinds for Every Room in Your Home

Indoor roller blinds are one of the most versatile and functional window furnishings you can choose – but selecting the right type for each room requires a little consideration.  

From managing sunlight in the living room to achieving total darkness in the bedroom, Burns for Blinds’ roller blinds come in a wide range of fabrics and styles to suit every space in your home. 

This room-by-room guide will help you confidently select the perfect roller blinds based on privacy, light control, and style. 

Living Room 

The living room is a place to relax and entertain, often flooded with natural light. But too much sun can create glare, heat, and fading of furniture. 

For this space, sunscreen roller blinds are ideal. They’re designed to reduce glare while maintaining your view outside and protecting interiors from harmful UV rays. If privacy is important in the evening, consider double roller blinds that combine sunscreen and blockout fabrics in a single system. This gives you full light during the day and complete privacy at night. 

With our custom-made double bracket options, you can enjoy the best of both worlds – light filtering by day and full blockout when you need it. 

Bedroom 

In bedrooms, privacy and darkness are essential – especially if you’re a shift worker or a light sleeper. 

Blockout roller blinds are your go-to option here. They provide excellent insulation and help maintain a cool, dark environment, perfect for restful sleep. The blockout fabric prevents outside light from entering the room and offers full privacy, both day and night. 

Choose from Australian-made blockout fabrics in plain or textured styles to suit your bedroom’s colour scheme.  

Want something extra sleek? Motorised blockout blinds offer seamless control without leaving the bed. 

Kitchen 

In kitchens, you want to keep the space bright and open while maintaining some level of privacy. Moisture resistance and ease of cleaning are also important. 

Translucent roller blinds are an excellent choice here. They allow natural light to flow through while diffusing harsh glare and offering daytime privacy. Unlike sheer curtains, they have a clean, minimal look and are easy to wipe down – ideal for spaces where spills and cooking activities are common. 

Pair with a neutral tone or subtle texture from our wide fabric selection to complement cabinetry and benchtops. 

Bathroom 

Bathrooms call for materials that can handle humidity and still offer privacy. Just like the kitchen, translucent fabrics work well here, letting light in while keeping prying eyes out. 

For bathrooms that receive direct sunlight, you may opt for a sunscreen roller blind to reduce glare while maintaining airflow – especially if privacy isn’t a major concern. Always choose fabrics designed for wet areas, available through Burns for Blinds, to ensure your blinds last the distance. 

Home Office 

If you’re working from home, the right window covering can improve your productivity and reduce eye strain. 

Sunscreen roller blinds are a great pick for home offices, especially when placed near computer screens. They reduce screen glare and soften natural light without plunging the room into darkness. If your office faces the street or another building, you might consider a translucent fabric for extra daytime privacy.  

Media or Theatre Room 

If you’re creating a home theatre or media room, you want full control over light – especially during daytime movie sessions. 

Blockout roller blinds are essential here, helping to eliminate glare and reflect light for optimal screen visibility. You can also upgrade to motorised blockout blinds for added luxury and convenience with remote control or voice activation. 

Burns for Blinds offers custom-made blockout blinds with large width and drop options, perfect for covering big theatre room windows or sliding doors.
