Complete
nighttime privacy
Blockout blinds, also known as blackout blinds, provide complete privacy by completely blocking out light. Unlike sheer blinds, which allow you to see both inside and outside, blockout blinds are ideal for spaces that require minimal light intrusion, such as media rooms, bedrooms, living rooms, or any areas equipped with a television.
Light filtering and sunscreen roller blinds will provide day time privacy without loosing light. Sunscreen roller blinds block 95% of UV rays, to help protect your furniture and flooring from fading.
Premium quality blinds that incorporate blockout and acrylic linings stop heat escaping from your home in winter, and block cold draughts. In summer, blockout roller blinds deflect the sun’s rays and help keep your home cool.
A front roll is recommended for recess fit roller blinds. It allows your blinds to skim over any minor obstructions, and your blind fabric lines up nicely with the front of your window recess. A back roll is recommended for face fit roller blinds, so your blind fabric sits closely to your window frame or wall to minimise gaps.

When choosing a roller blind in the Australian context, there are a few factors to consider.
1. Material: Roller blinds come in various materials such as blockout, sunscreen, and light-filtering.
- Blockout blinds offer maximum privacy, thermal insulation and light control. - Sunscreen blinds allow natural light to filter through, daytime privacy and the ability to see the view outside. - Light-filtering blinds provide protection against harsh Australian UV rays, reduce sun glare, and filter light, offering complete daytime and limited nighttime privacy.
When choosing material, consider your requirements and preferences.
2. Size and Fit: Measure your window accurately to ensure the roller blind fits appropriately. Consider whether you want a Recess Fit ("inside mount"/ within the window frame) or a Face Fit ("outside mount " /covering the entire window frame). Also, consider any obstructions like handles or window cranks, tiles, skirting boards, etc., that may affect the fit.
3. Style and Design: Roller blinds come in various colours, patterns, and textures. Choose a style that complements your decor and enhances the room's aesthetic. Consider the colour scheme and how the back fabric of the blinds will look from the outside for the best appeal, furniture, and overall ambience when selecting. For more advice, we recommend reading this guide on How to Choose Fabrics and Colours for Roller Blinds.
4. Operation: Decide on the type of operation you prefer. Roller blinds can be operated manually with a chain, cord, or motorised for convenience. Motorised blinds allow for remote control or integration with smart home systems.
5. Budget: Determine your budget range and explore options within that range. Roller blinds can vary in price depending on the material, size, and additional features. Consider the long-term durability and quality of the blinds when making your decision.
Roller blinds are incredibly affordable, especially when you install them yourself, however the price will vary based on the fabric you choose. At DIY Blinds you can choose from over a hundred material and colour options so you’ll easily find a style that suits your budget. Custom-made blinds have never been so easy or affordable.
Of course! Roller blinds are a great choice for doors because of their streamlined design. Just make sure it’s not going to get caught when the door opens and closes. For sliding and bi-fold doors, we recommend linked roller blinds.

It is not necessary for curtains and blinds to match. Many prefer to mix and match different window coverings to create a unique and personalised look for their homes. It is more important to consider the overall aesthetic and functionality of the curtains and blinds rather than focusing on matching them perfectly.
When selecting blinds or curtains for your bedroom, you need to consider the functionality, privacy and aesthetics of the room you are trying to achieve. For the basic functionality, the blockout roller blinds are enough, however, if you want to improve the aesthetics, you can combine them with sheer or blockout curtains. Plantation shutters are also a popular choice among our customers. See here for more inspirational ideas
The best colour would depend on personal preference and the room's overall aesthetic. However, popular choices for roller blinds among DIYBlinds customers are neutral colours such as Kew Natural, Plaster BO, or One Block White, as they can easily complement various interior styles and allow for flexibility in decor.
Roller blinds can become mouldy if exposed to moisture or damp conditions for an extended period. It is essential to clean and maintain roller blinds regularly to prevent mould growth. We recommend avoiding rolling blinds up when wet or exposed to moisture; wait until blinds are completely dry before rolling up. Plantation Shutters or Venetian Blinds are recommended for areas such as the Kitchen and Bathrooms where moisture is present.
Yes, you can put two Roller Blinds together. Double Roller Blinds allow you to have two kinds of fabrics on a single bracket, which means you can add blockout and light filtering fabrics in one Roller Blind.
It ultimately depends on personal preference and the aesthetic you are trying to achieve in your space. Some people prefer to match the blinds to the walls for a cohesive look, while others may choose contrasting colours to create visual interest. Ultimately, it is up to you to decide what works best for your specific style and design goals.
For complete privacy at night time, go for blockout roller blinds or blockout curtains or shutters.
It's up to personal preference, but having the same blinds in every room can create a cohesive look throughout your home. However, you may also want to consider different styles or materials for other rooms or zoning spaces based on their function and the amount of natural light they receive. Ultimately, it's important to choose blinds that suit each room's individual needs and aesthetics.
The lifespan of a Roller Blind can depend on factors such as the quality of the blinds, how often they are used, and how well they are maintained. Regular cleaning and proper care can help extend the lifespan of roller blinds. At DIYBlinds, we provide 5 year warranty on blinds and curtains and 20 years on shutters.
The level of warmth provided by roller blinds or curtains depends on various factors, such as the fabric used, the thickness, and the insulation properties. Roller blinds and curtains can effectively provide insulation and reduce heat loss, but it ultimately depends on the chosen fabric.
Roller Blinds are often cheaper than curtains. However, this depends on the fabric, insulation properties, and functionality of the blind.
Roller Blinds are often cheaper than curtains. However, this depends on the fabric, insulation properties, and functionality of the blind.
One common approach is to install pelmets or valances above the blinds. Pelmets or valances can be mounted on the wall or ceiling to conceal roller blind tube gaps and provide better thermal insulation and a professional finish.
Another option is to use cassette and side channels or tracks, which are attached to the window frames along the top and sides and help block out light and fill any top and side gaps.
Sunscreen Roller Blinds offer daytime privacy while still providing a view outside. However, this changes at night when the darkness outside contrasts with indoor lighting, potentially allowing outsiders to see into the home through the blinds.
Light Filtering Roller Blinds are similar to bathroom window frosting. They allow filtered light into the room but prevent visibility through the fabric to the outside view. They also obstruct the view into the home from outside, except at night when silhouettes may be visible if there is light inside and darkness outside.
For total privacy, we recommend choosing Blockout Roller Blinds. These blinds ensure complete privacy day and night while effectively blocking out unwanted light.
Roller blinds are commonly installed inside window recesses in Australia, offering a clean, minimalist appearance whilst providing privacy and light control. However, for bedrooms requiring total darkness or windows lacking recesses, the best approach is to install the blinds outside the frame, covering the entire window opening. This technique, referred to as Face Fitting, effectively minimizes light intrusion and is regarded as the optimal choice.
The best type of roller blinds would depend on the specific needs of the space. However, popular options in Australia include sunscreen roller blinds for controlling light, UV and heat, blockout roller blinds for temperature control, privacy and darkness, and dual roller blinds for the flexibility of having both options in one bracket. It's important to consider the material, colour, and functionality that best suit the room and its purpose.
