The 10 Most Popular Types of Blinds for Windows in 2023

Venetian Blinds

Venetian blinds are one of the most popular styles of blinds we supply, bringing a stylish yet traditional look to any room in the home. 

Venetian blinds are certainly the most versatile on the market. Whether you want them fitted in the bedroom, the kitchen or the spare bedroom/home office (we see you, the work-from-home lovers), the level of light control that you get is simply unmatched and fantastic for privacy. 

Our bespoke range of Venetian blinds available at Fraser James Blinds offers complete freedom and choice, with over 240 slat colours to choose from, as well as a range of different finishes – including our beautiful wooden designs. Got a niche aesthetic? No problem, we’ve got a colour for it! 

Perfect Fit Blinds 

Perfect-fit blinds are a popular choice for 2023. Tailor-made to fit in your window frames, these innovative products are designed to fit the exact shape and size of your window to minimise gaps – this makes fitted blinds ideal for regulating the light levels, heat, and privacy of your space. Perfect-fit blinds provide effective insulation, which allows you to save energy on heating costs.

Our range of perfect-fit blinds includes Venetian blinds, Roller blinds, Roman blinds, Conservatory blinds, & Pleated blinds.

Perfect Fit blinds are ideal for any room in the home, and thanks to their no-drill fitting system, you can have Perfect Fit blinds installed without altering your home—just the peace of mind you needed.

Plus, with no screws or drilling required, perfect-fit blinds are excellent for lots of other reasons too!

Vertical Blinds

 

Vertical blinds are a fantastic combination of style and flexible functionality. They bring high levels of privacy and shade to any room while being simple to operate, control and adjust, and make impressive statement pieces to any room.  We strongly believe that no one should have to compromise on visual appearance in favour of function. 

Vertical blinds look particularly special on patio doors, french doors and floor-to-ceiling windows, and can really help make a living room pop. Especially if you are a fan of colourful blinds! 

To ensure that our made to measure vertical blinds can complement any theme or decor, we offer a choice of over 300 fabrics, including bold, solid designs, light, neutral and soothing tones, textured pattern prints and more. Whether you are looking for a neutral look, bold and bright or monochromatic, let us help you make your blinds a feature piece of the room. 

The blinds we offer here are much better than any off-the-shelf solution because they are all created bespoke for every customer. What does that mean? Freedom and NO HASSLE. Not only this, but the made to measure vertical blinds we supply to our customers can neatly fit all kinds of windows with ease, with rails custom made using the highest quality materials to fit your specific bay, curved, or sloped windows. 

Roller Blinds 

Roller Blinds are also an extremely popular choice around the UK. They offer a completely compact and practical window dressing solution, with an extensive range of colours, designs, patterns, and fabrics to cater to all tastes. 

Roller blinds are perfect for all rooms in the home, including living rooms, bathrooms, and home offices. However, they are particularly great for bedrooms, given how easy they are to motorise and fit with a blackout lining. 

Using a blackout lining means if you aren’t a morning person or if you need to sleep during the day, you will not be woken up by sunlight at inopportune moments. 

All of our roller blinds are made to measure and designed to neatly fit windows of any shape or dimensions. Find out more here.  

Roman Blinds

Roman blinds have a rich history and have remained one of the most popular styles of blinds for many years. Roman blinds bring simple, elegant style to any room, offering high levels of privacy in a limitless range of colours, designs, and patterns. What more could you want?! 

The bespoke Roman blinds at Fraser James Blinds are designed around your needs, with over 300 fabrics to choose from including lighter fabrics to let more light in, thicker materials to block draughts, and many more. 

Electric Blinds

Electric blinds are the modern way to control heat and light admittance in your home or business, enabling you to maintain a comfortable room temperature all year round.  

At the touch of a button, any blind can be raised or lowered to the required point – making this a convenient option for large properties or for window blinds which aren’t easy to reach for manual operation. Due to the blinds being remote controlled, this also makes them a great choice for people who may struggle to physically operate manual blinds. 

As well as adding a little luxury to your home, remote blinds also remove the need for a cord or chain, which means it is safer for young children and pets.   

Wooden Blinds  

Wooden blinds bring a traditional elegance to any room, and here at Fraser James Blinds we design and install a range of wooden blinds to suit any interior.  

Wooden blinds will strengthen the decor of any bedroom, living room or office, bringing subtle style with efficient functionality, including precise light filtration and effective insulation to keep things cosy. 

If you are looking for natural, homely feelings then wooden blinds will always take the cake. 

Faux Wood Blinds 

Seeking the warm, natural look of wooden blinds without the expense or maintenance? We get you. 

Faux Wooden Venetian blinds are the perfect alternative to the real deal, offering the same earthly aesthetic without the risk of warping. Find out more about our faux wood blinds here.  

Pleated Blinds 

Pleated blinds are one of the most versatile and practical window dressings available, offering a neat, functional and attractive solution for any room in your home. Thanks to their unique construction, pleated blinds are extremely energy efficient too, perfect for those cold winters especially if your home is, unfortunately, not great at keeping in heat. 

The stylishly unique design of pleated blinds creates a striking visual effect, adding a rich texture to the interior without sacrificing functionality. 

Pleated blinds are especially suited to the conservatory, fitting conservatory roof windows elegantly while offering comprehensive light filtration along with effective insulation. This helps you to capture a comfortable atmosphere no matter the season, whether you need a refuge from the heat in the summer or blissful warmth in the winter. Make the most of your rooms all year long! 

Duette Blinds

Typified by their unique cellular design and insulative properties, Duette blinds leverage highly effective technology, without sacrificing aesthetics. 

Another key benefit of duette blinds is their thick, generous fabric. Not only does this bring a sense of softness and security to a room, but it also allows for excellent levels of privacy when the blinds are drawn. 

As you would expect from Fraser James Blinds, our Duette offerings are available in a generous range of colours and fabrics. So, when it comes to customisation, you really are spoilt for choice. Whether the owner of the room is 9 or 90, we have something to suit everyone!
