Bedroom Blinds Singapore: Replacing Curtains Without Losing the Dark

Curtains are the usual choice for bedrooms, mostly because they keep a room dark. Blinds can do the same job if you pick the right type, and this guide shows which ones, how to limit light leaks and where a curtain is still the better choice.

The short answer: blackout roller blinds and the Decowin Dual Layer System give a dark room, while combi blinds trade full darkness for adjustable light.

Why darkness matters in a bedroom

Darkening the bedroom is a common step for better sleep. In a December 2023 YouGov survey, only 44 per cent of Singaporeans typically slept seven or more hours a night, the lowest share among the 17 markets surveyed, and almost a quarter (23 per cent) said they had installed blackout curtains, according to Yahoo News Singapore’s report on the study.

Which bedroom blinds give a dark room

A roller blind is a single sheet of fabric that rolls up at the top of the window. You choose the fabric, from light-filtering to blackout, so one blind does one job well. Each blind is custom-fitted to the window.

Our roller blinds come in a wide range of fabrics, colours and textures. The Super Value Roller Blinds BTO Package uses blackout material for privacy.

The Decowin Dual Layer System suits a bedroom that needs both light levels. Its blockout layer gives a total-darkness setting, and its sheer layer handles daytime, typically with one control for both. 

See the Decowin Dual Layer System.

Combi and Venetian blinds control light well but are not usually chosen for full darkness. Combi blinds alternate opaque panels with sheer ones, and Venetian blinds, such as our Privyflex range, give slat-by-slat control.

Light leaks: what blinds and curtains share

No covering gives perfect darkness, because light can leak around the edges of any blind or curtain. A close, accurate fit helps most. Measure the window frame, not your old curtain, at more than one point, and tell us if the room is for sleeping in.

When curtains are still the better choice

Keep curtains when you want a soft finish and fabric around the bed. Curtains also muffle some sound, which most blinds do less. A blind for daytime control and a curtain for night is a simple pairing. We carry Hannah night curtains for bedrooms that want this.

Blinds are not better in every bedroom. If your curtains already give you the darkness you need, there is little reason to change them. Replace them when you want a cleaner look or adjustable daylight. If you want both on the same window, say so when you request your quote.

Blinds for a child’s bedroom

The Decowin I-Touch Cordless Blinds are cord-free and suit homes with children and pets. They are listed under our combi range, so choose a roller with blackout material if your child needs a very dark room.
