Most windows in the UK aren’t larger than 1200mmx1800mm, so finding blinds for large windows can initially feel like a daunting task. Fear not – there are still plenty of styles that you can explore that don’t compromise on style or quality. From bay windows to wide windows and sliding doors, take a look below and find out our top recommendations for your next large and tall window blinds.
Best Blinds for Large Windows
Shutter Blinds
Timelessly stylish and endlessly elegant, Shutter Blinds make a luxurious addition to any home. As well as being beautiful to look at, they offer excellent practical benefits too – from precise light control to thermal protection, they really are the total package for big windows.
Shutter Blinds also make a great choice to large windows and wide doors thanks to their concertina panel design, folding neatly when opened to give you an unobstructed view to the outside world.
With a maximum width of 240cm and a maximum drop of 210cm, you’ll be hard pressed to find a window they won’t fit in!

Privacy Sheers
A chic and innovative solution, Privacy Sheers combine the beauty of curtains with the practicality of Vertical Blinds for a stylish finish. Made from strips of voile and opaque fabric, simply twist the discrete tilt wand at the side of the blind to control the amount of sunlight and privacy in your space.
They not only work wonders in wide windows but they’re an excellent choice for wide doors too! The innovative style means you can walk through the louvres as the flowing fabric separates for unobstructed access to your garden. With a maximum size of 480cm width by 300cm drop, they’ll fit in almost any space!
Panel Blinds
Panel Blinds are an ever-popular choice for sliding patio and french doors with large window panes. A contemporary take on the more traditional Vertical Blinds, these feature wide panels that stack either all to the left, all to the right, or split down the centre to sit on either side for a smart, clean look.
Roller Blinds
From classic to contemporary, and plain to patterned, there really is a Roller Blind to suit every space! Plus, with a variety of lining options alongside no drill installation upgrades, you can enjoy functional benefits alongside a design that creates a statement at your large windows.
With a maximum width of 280cm and a maximum drop of 240cm and easy to clean fabrics, Roller Blinds make a wonderful addition to wide windows anywhere in your home, from your kitchen and bathroom to your living room and more.
Vertical Blinds
Often considered a more traditional style of window covering, Vertical Blinds are still hugely popular across the UK, and we can see why! The sleek louvres and their customisable tilt is perfect for tailoring the amount of light you let in. And with a vast array of shades and materials to choose from you’re sure to find the perfect match for your home!
With slats that stack neatly to the side, and a maximum size of 480cm x 291cm, they’re perfect for wide windows and doors, offering a clear view to the outdoors.
Best Blinds for Tall Windows
Tall windows present a slightly different challenge that wide windows; the main concern is being able to reach the controls so you can open and close the blind as desired. So, how can you combat this problem?
Electric Blinds
What better way to resolve the issue of not being able to reach any cords or chains than by choosing an Electric Blind instead! Combining style with cutting edge technology, pair your blinds with our Tuiss SmartView app for pinpoint light control at a touch of your phone screen.
Set timers so your blinds raise and lower automatically, and create scenes that allow multiple Electric Blinds to operate simultaneously; you can even set up Siri Shortcuts on Apple devices for extra convenience too!

Curtains
Curtains bring a beautiful focal point to your windows and never go out of style. With a plethora of patterns, fabrics, colours and heading options to choose from, there really is a design to match every home.
As well as being undisputedly beautiful, and adding an elevated touch to any window they dress, Curtains are also a practical choice for tall windows. With each panel being made from a single piece of fabric, you just need to pull the inner edge in either direction to open or close them – no other controls needed!
