The Complete Guide to Choosing the Right Blinds for Every Room

When it comes to transforming your home, blinds are more than a finishing touch — they’re the difference between a room that looks good and one that feels perfect.

At Forbes Blinds, we design, supply, and install bespoke blinds across London, Hertfordshire, and Essex, helping homeowners combine comfort, functionality, and timeless style.

1. Living Room – Style Meets Function

Your living room is the heart of your home — where design and comfort come together.

For a sleek, contemporary look, Day & Night blinds, Roman blinds, or Venetian blinds are ideal choices.

They offer complete control over light and privacy while adding a luxurious finish to your windows. If your living room faces direct sunlight, consider motorised blinds for effortless adjustment throughout the day.

2. Bedroom – Sleep Better, Live Better

Nothing disrupts a good night’s rest like unwanted light. That’s why blackout roller blinds or Roman blinds are the go-to options for bedrooms. These designs provide full privacy, improved insulation, and a restful atmosphere — essential for the fast pace of London living.

Pro Tip: Pair your blackout blinds with soft drapes or pelmets to elevate the design and block even more light.

3. Kitchen – Built to Handle Heat and Humidity

The kitchen is where practicality meets creativity. With moisture and cooking vapours in the air, you need blinds that are durable, easy to clean, and resistant to warping.

PVC roller blinds or faux-wood Venetian blinds are excellent choices — they’re water-resistant, easy to wipe down, and available in a range of colours to match your kitchen décor.

Forbes Blinds provides custom-fitted kitchen blinds that are stylish, safe, and made to last.

4. Bathroom – Waterproof and Worry-Free

Bathrooms demand both privacy and durability.

Our waterproof blinds are engineered to resist moisture, keeping their shape and colour over time. Choose waterproof roller blinds for minimalist design, or pleated blinds for softer elegance.

5. Home Office – Focus Through Light Control

Whether you’re on Zoom calls or working on designs, light matters.

Vertical or Venetian blinds are perfect for home offices because they allow you to control glare and brightness precisely, protecting your screens while maintaining natural light.

Add a motorised option for total convenience and that touch of luxury your workspace deserves.
