What Window Shades Work Best For Studio Apartments?

No matter how small the space, we have a shade for you!

Buying blinds for a studio apartment or small flat can be a bit of a struggle at times, when your bedroom, living room and kitchen are all put together in a single room space it can be hard to balance the needs of each space – In the daytime you’ll want minimal shade to keep your apartment well-lit while preventing screen glare in your living space, but at night you’ll want a cosy dark space to sleep in.

All of this gets exacerbated when you only have a single window in your living space, as you need to find a single window shade that will work for you all day long, whether you’re sleeping, cooking or watching television.

To make your life that little bit easier, we’ve taken the liberty of compiling the varieties of blinds we believe work best in studio flats and small apartments, so that you can easily shade your space.

Double Roller Blinds

When it comes to blinds for a studio apartment or small flat, the absolute best option for you will usually be a double roller blind. Double roller blinds are ideal for studio apartments, as they have both a dimout roller blind and a blackout roller blind built into them, allowing you to keep your studio apartment bright during the day with the dimout layer, then create a cost darkness at night with the blackout layer.

As an added bonus, all of the fabrics we use for our double roller blinds are moisture resistant and wipe-clean as standard, meaning they can also deal with the wear and tear from being in close proximity to your bathroom and kitchen spaces!

Day & Night Blinds

If our double roller blinds don’t seem like the shade for you, worry not as we have other blinds with the ability to swap between dimout and blackout – our Day & Night Blinds. day & night blinds are made with a loop of alternating fabrics, with horizontal strips of opaque material and transparent material, allowing you to align the opaque layers at night to block out light and align the clear layers during the day to let light in.

As well as having the option of aligning the fabric on a day & night blind, you’ll also have the option of opening and closing the blind, like you would on a standard roller blind, giving you a lot of control over how much light enters your apartment.

Vertical Blinds

Now if neither our day & night blinds or our double roller blinds are quite what you’re looking for, maybe a set of Vertical Blinds would work better for you? Vertical Blinds are good for studio apartments, as you have the option of sliding the shades open and rotating the slats to let in more or less light. As an added bonus, vertical blinds are also a very budget friendly option, meaning you don’t have to break your piggy bank to get a new set.

If you’re buying vertical blinds for a studio apartment, we’d recommend choosing a vertical blind made with a blackout fabric, so that you can keep your flat dark at night, then during the day you can rotate the slats to let in as much or as little light as you desire.

Metal Venetian Blinds

Finally, we move onto a nice versatile and budget friendly option for shading your studio flat – Metal Venetian Blinds! Metal venetian blinds work the same way as any other venetian blind, the only difference is that they’re made from metal rather than wood and are much more affordable than their wooden counterparts.

Much like vertical blinds, metal venetian blinds work well in studio apartments and small flats, as they can be opened and closed, as well as having the option to rotate the slats to give you control over how much light enters through your windows.
