Choosing the Best Type of Blinds for Light Control

Homeowners enjoy decorating their properties, whether for interior or exterior design purposes. And when home decorating, one of the most critical aspects they consider is lighting.

Lighting can transform the entire environment and affect your emotions. And one of the best ways to control the amount of light in your room is to use window blinds. Blinds can help you wake up early by letting in the natural morning light, but they can also block out the light if you prefer to sleep in the dark.

Regardless of the type of lighting you want in your room, any blind can control the amount of light you need. And as a hint, here are the best modern blinds from Sunrise Blinds for controlling the light:

Automated Blinds

One of the best energy-efficient window treatments is motorised window blinds. This type of window blind can passively control the temperature.

With their innovative feature, they can let the right amount of light in your space via a programmable remote control that directs its position. Not only that but it can also be programmed or scheduled to open and close at specific times.

Plantation Shutters


Plantation shutters are solid window coverings with varying-sized louvres. However, most of them have wider sizes, allowing for more distribution. This makes them a trendy design for traditional and classic home styles.

Sunrise Blinds provides a custom-made Australian plantation shutter with adjustable blades. This design allows light in while maintaining privacy in your home.

Roller Blinds

This type of blind is suitable for any room and is extremely simple to use.

In fact, it is one of the best innovations in modern window blinds. With their endless fabric opacity, roller blinds are versatile enough to let in a reasonable amount of light.

Sunrise Blinds has a large selection of fabrics and designs for roller blinds. As a result, you have a wide array of options. We can provide you with a sheer fabric that will allow natural light to go through. If you don’t want the possibility of light gaps, a continuous piece of fabric for roller blinds is also available. Get in touch with us, and we can provide you with a list of roller blind designs that perfectly suit your space.

Vertical Blinds

Vertical blinds are versatile enough in terms of light illumination. You can pull back the blinds to let in as much light as you need for your room. However, if you want more privacy, you can easily angle the slats to balance the light.

Apart from that, they are the best modern blind for patio windows or large windows, such as French or sliding doors, because they can shade the glass while allowing access to the doors.

Unlike other complicated blinds, Vertical blinds are simple but durable, making them an excellent choice for any minimalist-inspired home. And due to their simplicity, they can complement any interior design theme.

Veri Shades

Veri shades are distinguished by their weightlessness, which allows you to walk through them. They are made of soft fabric with alternating opaque folds, making them an excellent choice for property owners who need privacy and light.

When you turn the wand in one way, the panels rotate to reduce UV rays and natural light. So, you have more privacy control. Turning the wand in the opposite direction opens the panel, allowing more light to pass through while maintaining your view.

Roman Blinds

The design of Roman blinds is different from other types of blinds. They are made from a single piece of fabric, with no gaps for light to pass through. They can also provide a good amount of light by moving the entire set of blinds upward.

However, it is essential to note that Roman blinds will not completely cover the top of the window and will only block some of the windows, adding a soft style for the personality of your room.

Panel Glides

Panel glides, like vertical blinds, are appropriate for extra-large windows. They both provide light control, though the latter is less effective due to the fabric used.

While panel glide fabrics are typically more expansive than thinner slate fabrics, making them challenging to tilt or angle, they can also be beneficial for homes as they increase the amount of light in the room by sliding the fabric together.
