Think about when you use the room
A dining room might be a busy breakfast space, a quiet evening room and somewhere to entertain — sometimes all in the same day. That's why we'd usually suggest blinds that adjust easily, so you can keep soft daylight for daytime meals and add privacy once the lights go on.
Ideas that work well
- Roman blinds: a tailored, decorative look that sits nicely alongside upholstered chairs — see Roman blinds.
- Venetian and wooden blinds: clean lines, and you can tilt the slats to control the light precisely — see Venetian and wooden blinds.
- Day & night blinds: soft, filtered daylight during the day, with privacy in the evening — see day & night blinds.
- Vertical blinds: a practical choice for wide windows and patio doors that open onto the garden — see vertical blinds.
- Motorised control: useful for larger windows, or ones that are hard to reach — see motorised blinds.

Style tips
- Rather than matching everything exactly, try picking up a colour from your chair upholstery or a feature wall in the blind fabric.
- In garden rooms and dining extensions, framed blinds on each pane keep the look crisp and consistent.
- If the table sits in front of the window, we'd avoid long cords and go for controls that are easy to reach.
