GUIDE
Blinds for the bedroom
When thinking about blinds for the bedroom, it is often important to be able to reduce light transmission and create a darker feel for resting and sleeping. Many people want to be able to darken the bedroom even when the days are light, while the bedroom is also a place for relaxation and recovery. This is where comfort and a harmonious whole can play a big part in how the room feels – both day and night.
In this guide, we focus on general choices and situations in the bedroom, making it easier to find a solution that suits everyday life. For a more in-depth review of blackout and what affects how dark it gets, there is a separate guide on blackout.
Blackout for better sleep
How dark one wants the bedroom to be can vary depending on the time of year, one's circadian rhythm, and how the window is positioned in relation to, for example, street lighting or the morning sun. Blackout is also experienced differently from person to person – some prefer a more subdued light, while others want a clearer screening to be able to rest undisturbed.
Some form of light-filtering blind is often appreciated in the bedroom, where the need for a calm and restful environment is greatest. How dark it actually gets depends on several factors and can therefore vary depending on both the room and the solution.
Combine blinds and curtains
The bedroom is a place where the overall feel often plays a big part in making the room seem calm and inviting. Combining blinds and curtains can therefore be a lovely way to soften the blind's more clean-lined look with the softness and framing of textiles. Many people, for example, combine a roller blind with curtain panels in shades that harmonise or sit close together on the colour scale, for a more cohesive feel in the bedroom.

Bedroom comfort
The bedroom is a place for recuperation for both body and soul. Therefore, it can be valuable to also consider comfort when choosing sun protection, not just how much light is let in. In bedrooms with a lot of sun, certain types of sun protection can also contribute to a more pleasant feeling in the room during warm periods, when the temperature otherwise easily feels higher. For those who want to make everyday life extra smooth, a motorised roller blind can be an option, so that the sun protection can be adjusted from the bed.
