Solaire Blinds

Roller blinds are made from a single sheet of fabric that covers the whole window when lowered. The material unrolls from a tube mounted at the top of the frame, so when the blind is raised, it neatly retracts and leaves your view completely unobstructed. At Solaire Blinds, we appreciate how simple roller blinds are to operate. They typically come with a chain that lets you raise or lower the blind by turning the top tube. You can also choose a motorised option, allowing you to adjust the blind’s position with the push of a button. Solaire Blinds offers excellent motor systems from Louvolite and Somfy.

If you’ve never owned or used Venetian blinds, you may be unsure about what sets them apart. You might recognise their appearance, but what distinguishes them from other types of blinds? And is there any real difference between wooden and metal versions?

At Solaire Blinds, we’re big fans of Venetian blinds because of their distinctive style. They consist of horizontal slats stacked in sequence, held together by vertical ladder tape or cord that also enables the slats to tilt. This system keeps the slats evenly spaced as they hang, preventing them from becoming tangled.

Venetian blinds can be raised or lowered with ease. More importantly, they allow you to adjust light levels effortlessly — the slats can be tilted to various angles to regulate brightness and privacy. This is typically done using a tilt cord or wand that you twist.

The slats themselves can be crafted from wood, aluminium, or faux wood, giving you plenty of choice to match your home’s décor. Versatile, simple to use, and stylish from both inside and outside, Venetian blinds make an excellent addition to any window.

If you need a stylish way to dress large windows or patio doors, panel blinds could be the perfect choice. These sophisticated window coverings feature wide fabric panels that slide effortlessly along a sleek track system, offering a modern look that’s both functional and attractive. They can be operated with either a cord or a wand, making them easy to use. Panel blinds are an excellent option for expansive window spaces.

Roman blinds are fabric-based window coverings that operate using a chain or cord system. When raised, the material folds neatly into even layers, and when lowered, it hangs smoothly without creases, giving the room a refined, welcoming feel.

These blinds are crafted from fabric designed to pleat as they lift. Mounted slats attached to cords draw together when the blind is raised, creating the classic, structured folds Roman blinds are known for.

A wide variety of materials can be used to make Roman blinds—silk, cotton, linen, and various synthetic fabrics—so there’s no shortage of options when it comes to style and design.

This versatility is one reason Roman blinds are such a popular alternative to curtains. In many ways, they act as the perfect middle ground: offering the cosy feel and light-blocking properties of curtains, while providing the compact practicality and ease of use that blinds offer. With countless colours, patterns, and textures available, it’s easy to find a design that complements your space.

Roman blinds make adjusting light levels simple and quick, whether you’re responding to the time of day or the season. Blackout versions are ideal for achieving complete darkness, and thermal linings can be added for improved energy efficiency.

They can also be fitted either inside or outside the window recess. Installing them outside the recess is straightforward and allows more natural light in, while fitting them inside the recess saves space and can enhance blackout performance.

So why do customers choose Roman blinds from Solaire Blinds? Because they’re simple to operate, easy to install, and look stunning. Our extensive selection includes a wide range of high-quality options in different fabrics, styles, and price points—ensuring there’s something to suit every home.

If you want a window covering that blends stylish design with everyday practicality, pleated blinds could be exactly what you need. Often compared to the origami experts of the blind world, their sharp, tidy folds expand from a slim, compact stack into a full window covering in one effortless movement.

Their real strength lies in their adaptability. Whether you’re dealing with an unusually shaped loft window or looking for better temperature regulation in a conservatory, pleated blinds are up to the task. They’re excellent at controlling heat too—helping keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter (which is always welcome here in Yorkshire!).

Cellular blinds—often called “honeycomb blinds” because of their unique structure—are a well-loved window covering made from small, honeycomb-shaped fabric cells.

These cells compress and expand as the blind is lifted or lowered. Their clever design creates an insulating barrier between your room and the window, helping regulate temperature. You can choose blinds with a single air pocket or a double cell structure; the latter is ideal for rooms that tend to get very warm or particularly chilly.

At Solaire Blinds, we’re committed to offering premium, made-to-measure blinds crafted with care. Enhance your home with our expertise—our FREE home visit and full design service make it simple to tailor your cellular blinds so they fit your space perfectly.

Wooden blinds come in a variety of stylish designs, including Venetian and Fauxwood, and operate using simple cords and ladder tapes that not only make adjustment easy but also enhance your décor.

At Solaire Blinds, we offer a fantastic range of wooden blinds. If you’re searching for wooden blinds in Leeds, Wakefield, or nearby areas, you’re in exactly the right place.

Vertical blinds are a highly popular type of window covering, consisting of vertical louvres or vanes suspended from a sliding track at the top, with chains at the bottom to keep them aligned. They are widely used in both homes and commercial spaces due to their practicality and ease of use. Operation is simple and child-safe, either via a wand or a chain and cord system—the cord opens and closes the blinds, while the chain or wand tilts the vanes to control light.

At Solaire Blinds, we offer an extensive selection of colours, patterns, and fabrics. Our premium vertical blinds can seamlessly complement your room’s décor or be chosen to make a bold statement, adding elegance and style to any space.

Motorised blinds are powered by batteries, solar energy, a DC adapter, or directly from mains electricity. They operate effortlessly with the press of a button via a single remote control. Compared to traditional blinds, these automated systems offer unmatched convenience and comfort for managing light. Imagine lying in bed as your blinds open to welcome the sunrise, or using your motorised system on hard-to-reach windows to create a private, darkened home cinema—all controlled easily with one remote. Enjoy this touch of affordable luxury without ever having to leave your seat!

Day and night blinds are similar to our custom roller blinds but include two layers of fabric, each featuring alternating translucent and opaque stripes. As the blind is raised or lowered, the layers glide past one another, giving you precise control over how much light enters the room.

Whether operated manually or via a motorised system, day and night blinds have two key settings: fully closed, where the opaque stripes align to provide complete privacy, and open, where the clear and solid stripes line up to allow partial light to filter through.

When choosing bedroom blinds, it’s common to select one based purely on how it looks in a photo. However, this quick decision can overlook whether the blind is truly suitable for your bedroom. After all, the bedroom isn’t just any room—it’s where you spend a significant portion of your day resting and sleeping. Unfortunately, a blind chosen mainly for its appearance could unintentionally affect your sleep quality.

Buying kitchen blinds can feel like a tricky decision. You want to avoid choosing something you might regret a few weeks later. With so many options available, it can be hard to decide whether to go for a practical, neutral choice or a bolder, more adventurous style.
