What's the best blind or shutter for total bedroom blackout?

Solid plantation shutter panels give the most complete dark-out, followed by blackout roller blinds in a side-channel cassette. Standard blackout rollers and Romans are excellent for everyday use but show some light leak at the edges.

Do you cover CT21 for small jobs as well as large ones?

Yes. We treat a single window the same as a whole-house quote — same survey, same quality of measurement, same fitter.

Can you match a paint colour I already have in the room?

Yes — RAL-matched and Farrow & Ball-matched finishes are available on our painted hardwood shutter ranges at no upcharge.

Are Day & Night blinds blackout?

The standard fabrics are dim-out — closed they reduce light heavily but a small amount comes through the sheer band. Blackout-stripe ranges are available where total dark-out is needed.

Lympne Day & Night Blinds, Surveyed and Fitted by Our Own Teamfor Bedrooms

Whether you're near Port Lympne or further out, day & night blinds in Lympne all start the same way: a free in-home visit so we can measure properly.

Day & Night Blinds for bedrooms: what we look for

Bedrooms are the most demanding room in the house for window dressings. They need to handle full daylight in summer mornings, complete dark for sleep, child-safe operation and quiet movement — often all in the same window.

Blackout linings or solid shutter panels handle summer dawn light far better than blinds alone.
Cassette headrails and side-channel options dramatically reduce 'light leak' around the edges.
All operating chains and cords are fitted with current child-safe break-away tensioners as standard.
Quiet operation matters — we use cassette systems and slow-fall mechanisms in bedrooms by default.

Deep reveals and tall hallways called for a recess-fit, full-height configuration with a mid-rail to break the panel.

We measured the bay panel-by-panel and joined the day & night blinds at the angle so the line follows the bay rather than fighting it.

Exposed-beam reveals and irregular openings — every panel was templated on-site, no two windows the same, and finished in a warm off-white to match the limewash.

Before you book a survey in Lympne

Closed at night: full privacy, no streetlight leak, warmer feel underfoot.
Tilted in the day: light pushed deep into the room without losing the view.
Layered with a soft Roman above: hotel-style softness on top of precision light control.
Painted to match trim: the window stops shouting and starts framing the view.
