  • Really pleased

    "I needed some blinds in my new bedroom as having large bifold windows facing east the sun was waking me at 4.30am. I researched for a few weeks but finally chose Hillarys Blackout blinds after Brian came along and showed me all the options. They are so effective, there is no light creep and the bedroom is now really dark ensuring a great night's sleep!"

Blackout Blinds FAQs

Are blackout blinds thermal?

Many of our blackout blinds have thermal properties as well as being great for controlling sunlight. To find out out more about thermal styles, visit our thermal blinds page.

Can blackout blinds improve sleep?

Yes, blackout blinds help create a darker bedroom by reducing the amount of outside light entering through your windows. A darker environment can support better sleep by helping your body recognise when it's time to rest, especially during lighter summer mornings or in rooms affected by streetlights.

That's why blackout blinds are a popular choice for bedrooms, nurseries and children's rooms, helping to create comfortable spaces for winding down at the end of the day.

Can blackout blinds fit any window?

Blackout blinds can be made to fit a wide range of window shapes and sizes, depending on the style you choose.

Our total blackout solution features a framed design, so it's only suitable for straight windows and cannot be fitted to bay windows. If you're looking for blackout blinds for a bay window, there are plenty of beautiful options to choose from, including Roller, Roman and Pleated blinds in blackout fabrics. While blackout fabrics help reduce the amount of light entering the room, they may still allow a little light in around the edges of the blind.

Blackout Roller and Pleated designs can also be fitted to skylight windows, making them a great choice for loft conversions, attic bedrooms and other rooms where daylight enters through the roof.

If you're unsure which blackout blind is right for your window, your local Hillarys advisor can talk you through the options and help you find just the right solution for your space.

A closer look at blackout blinds

Blackout blinds help create a darker, more peaceful space, making them a popular choice for bedrooms, nurseries and media rooms. They're a simple way to reduce unwanted light and create the right atmosphere for sleep, relaxation or winding down at the end of the day. 

If complete darkness is your goal, Blind Screen® is our total blackout solution. The blackout fabric sits within a specially designed frame, helping to prevent light entering around the edges of the window as well as through the blind itself. 

We also offer a range of other blackout options designed to reduce the amount of light coming into a room. Roller blinds are available in blackout fabrics and come in a wide range of colours and designs. If you have uPVC windows, pairing them with a Perfect Fit frame can help create an even darker effect. 

For a softer, more decorative look, blackout linings can be added to our Roman blinds. And if you'd like a blind that can also help keep your home warm in winter and cool in summer, our Duette® blinds are available in dim-out fabrics and feature a clever honeycomb design. 

Your Hillarys advisor can talk you through the different options available and take care of measuring and fitting, helping you find the right blackout solution for your room. 

*Order now for fitting in time for Christmas is available on selected blinds and curtains only and is subject to advisor capacity. Regional variances may apply. Wooden shutters, conservatory blinds, Duette blinds, Blind Screen, pleated blinds, awnings, garage doors and pergolas are not included.
