Bedroom Blinds Made to Measure: Blackout, Zebra, Roman and Motorised
Sleepwit supplies made-to-measure bedroom blinds. For sleep, choose blackout fabric with side channels to stop light leaks, a cordless or motorised mechanism where children live, and an inside or outside mount measured to the millimetre. We confirm every measurement before production.
Which blind for which bedroom
Blackout roller: simplest and darkest. Day-night (zebra): lets you change between privacy, filtered light and darkness. Roman: soft, layered look, usually with blackout lining. Motorised: remote or app control for tall windows, or for anyone who finds cords hard to use.
Stopping light leaks
Most light comes in at the edges. Outside-mount blinds that overlap the window by 5 to 10 cm, side channels or a blackout curtain over the blind close the gaps.
Measuring
For an inside mount, measure width at the top, middle and bottom and use the narrowest; measure height at left, centre and right and use the longest. For an outside mount, add overlap on all sides. Photograph the window and send the numbers on WhatsApp.
Child safety
Loose cords and loops are a strangulation hazard for young children. Choose cordless, spring or motorised designs for bedrooms with children, and follow the safety instructions supplied.
