Blinds aren’t one-size-fits-all. What works in the bedroom might not work in the kitchen or bathroom. Here’s a quick room-by-room guide to help you choose the right type of blind for every space in your home.
Kitchen: Easy-Clean & Heat-Resistant
Best blinds:
- Screen blinds (for filtered light + fresh air)
- PVC blockout blinds (wipeable and heat-tolerant)
Tip: Avoid heavy fabric in cooking zones—go for wipeable and moisture-safe materials.
Bathroom: Moisture-Proof & Private
Best blinds:
- PVC or moisture-resistant blockout blinds
- Fauxwood or aluminium Venetians (for airflow and privacy)
Tip: Install with enough clearance to prevent touching wet areas.
Bedroom: Full Privacy & Light Block
Best blinds:
- Blockout roller blinds (for total darkness)
- Dual blinds (add a screen layer for daytime privacy)
Tip: Choose darker tones or textured fabrics to create a cosy, restful feel.

Living Room: Light Control & Style
Best blinds:
- Screen blinds (keep it bright but reduce glare)
- Dual roller blinds (perfect for day/night flexibility)
- Textured blockouts (for a stylish look + insulation)
Tip: Go for softer tones and fabrics to match lounges, rugs, and furniture.
Home Office: Reduce Glare, Keep Focus
Best blinds:
- Screen or light-filtering blinds (block harsh sun but stay bright)
- Vertical or roller blinds (easy adjustability for computer use)
Tip: North-facing office? A light screen blind keeps things cool and eye-friendly.
Kid’s Room or Nursery: Safe & Durable
Best blinds:
- Cordless roller blinds or short chain blockouts
- Blockout fabrics for naps and early mornings
- Neutral or fun colours depending on age
Tip: Install all safety hardware included with your blinds (Apollo provides this with every order).
Final Tip: Choose Room-Specific, Not Just Style
