If your home features small windows and you’re unsure of where to start looking for a new window dressing, we’ve got you covered. Whether you’re looking to shade a small bathroom window with a water resistant blind, bring elegance and cosiness to your bedroom with a luxurious texture, or you’re after a design that blends style and functionality in perfect harmony, find out our top recommendations for small window blinds below.
1. Venetian Blinds for Small Windows
Venetian Blinds offer contemporary charm anywhere in your home, and are a great option for small windows too. With horizontal aluminium slats that you can tilt, raise and lower depending on how much light you want to allow into your room, they offer versatile light control all day long.
A popular choice for small kitchen windows next to washing areas, Venetian Blinds are also easy to clean, meaning any spillages can simply be wiped away.
2. Roller Blinds for Small Windows
With a sleek, minimalist design, Roller Blinds can fit seamlessly between your small window recess without taking up too much room, allowing you to leave windowsill decorations on display when raised. From light and dark shades to whimsical patterns that bring additional character to your space, Roller Blinds suit almost any interior.
Roller Blinds also offer customisable shading in your home. A light filtering lining will allow you to retain brightness in your room when lowered, allowing gentle sunlight to filter through the fabric while maintaining your privacy. Whereas for a small bedroom window, a blackout lining will help to block out streetlights, car headlights and more to help you get an undisturbed night’s sleep – ideal for street-facing rooms.
3. Real & Faux Wood Blinds for Small Windows
Like aluminium Venetian Blinds, real and faux Wood Blinds feature hard-wearing slats that tilt to allow light in and out of your space. Available with a range of complementing or contrasting tapes for added appeal, they work wonders in any scheme and bring a beautiful focal point to your small windows.
For your kitchen, we recommend choosing a faux wood style due to their water-resistant material, or a real wood style for a small living room window for a classic look.
4. Skylight Blinds for Small Windows
For small skylight windows, you’ll want to find a blind that not only offers a perfect fit but one that features a cordless design to prevent loose wires hanging down. With our range of Skylight Blinds alternatives for VELUX®, DAKSTRA®, RoofLITE® and Keylite® windows, they have an integrated frame that installs the blind with no tools required, alongside your choice of a light filtering or blackout fabric for shading your way.
5. Roman Blinds for Small Windows
Did you know Roman Blinds are great for small windows too? Roman Blinds feature a beautiful woven fabric and are available in a plethora of colours and prints to bring depth to your living room, dining room, bedroom and more.
Certain Roman Blinds are available with electric options, replacing traditional pull cords with a simple touch of an app to raise and lower the fabric, offering easy access to small windows that are hard to reach.
6. No Drill Shutter Blinds for Small Windows
Whereas our traditional Shutter Blinds aren’t suitable for smaller windows due to their concertina-style opening, our No Drill Shutter Blinds feature an integrated frame that clips directly to your uPVC windows. In a range of contemporary shades, the slats also offer a minimalist look, and help you to direct outside light any way you choose in your home via a tilt mechanism within the design.
Additional Considerations for Choosing Small Window Blinds
- Window location – Whether your small window is located in your bedroom, living room, bathroom or kitchen, you should look for a blind that offers the practical features you require. For example, for a kitchen, an easy to clean material is ideal for wiping away marks and stains, whereas for a bedroom, a Blackout Blind will help block bright light entering your space.
- No drill and electric options – If you’re looking to install your blind between your recess, a No Drill Blind provides even easier installation without drilling into your walls. For windows that are difficult to reach, added electric functionality will allow you to set the blind up on a timer via an app for automatic raising and lowering.
- Cordless design – Due to the limited space around your small window, having a cordless blind will allow you to retain a clean, sleek finish without any wires getting in the way.
