The Best Window Treatments for a Better Night’s Sleep

From forwarding children’s development to improving mental and physical health and limiting the risk of diseases, a good night’s rest is a vital requirement for sustaining life. The correct window covering choice can make all the difference and help you to catch up on those crucial forty winks. Whether in the master bedroom or children’s room, implementing a suitable and safe-fitting blind can change the appearance of the room at all hours of the day and secure a better night’s sleep for all.

The following blinds are the best treatments for boosting your bedroom aesthetic and creating a dark and cosy environment.

Vision blinds: The fun, functional favourite

Variety is the spice of life, and these blinds can add a variety of colour and light into your home or block it out completely. 

Vision blinds (sometimes called twist blinds), are dual-layered fabric blinds that provide the user with the ability to let in the perfect amount of light into their home. Simply adjust the blind to have the two layers adjacent to allow an abundance of light in, or adjust them so they sit parallel to create a blackout effect.

Wooden Venetian blinds: The upgrade on a classic

When it comes to the classics, you cannot go wrong with Venetian blinds for their functionality and reliable sturdiness.

Wooden Venetian blinds do what their metal or PVC counterparts cannot; they can completely block out light from filtrating a window. While metal and PVC are cheaper, they’re less sturdy and have more gaps in their design due to the flimsiness of the material. Using wood, especially faux wood, can create a shutter effect and increase the coverage of shade on the window.

Pleated blinds: The stylish star of window treatments

Functionality should always come first when considering a window dressing. Luckily pleated blinds are both functional and fashionable.

Pleated blinds come in a variety of fabrics and colours, and their zig-zag design makes them particularly eye-catching. This layered design also makes them good for minimising the filtration of light into a room because of how the fabric is settled against the window, allowing a better night’s sleep. 

For a child’s room, these blinds can be particularly useful as they come in cordless options, and additional safety features can be easily added. We touched on this topic in our previous blog post.

Perfect fit: The magnificent multi-tasker

As the name suggests, these blinds are perfectly fitted to any size or shape of window. This means they will not let in light through side cracks or splits, which can be an issue with other types of blinds. 

Perfect-fit blinds are designed to be placed directly against the glass of the window, which limits the amount of light that can enter a room, especially when they are pulled down completely. This design not only blocks out light but also provides well-needed privacy for important areas of that house, such as a bathroom or conservatory, ensuring that your property will remain safe as well as shaded. 

Blackout blinds: The best for the season

Make the summer sun an issue of the past with these blinds, designed with security and shade in mind.

Blackout blinds are a dense fabric option for those who are looking to make their bedroom exceptionally dark during the summer and also keep out the heat. These blinds come in a variety of colours and designs to ensure that the aesthetics of your room remains bright while still keeping out light. 

They are an all-rounder this season for their versatile design and reliable opacity.
