Top 5 Skylight Blind Styles for Loft Bedrooms in Shrewsbury

If you’re converting your loft into a stylish new bedroom, choosing the right skylight blinds is essential for comfort, privacy, and light control. Here at Sutherland Croft Blinds, we’ve fitted countless made-to-measure skylight blinds across Shrewsbury and surrounding areas — and we’ve narrowed it down to the top five styles that work beautifully in loft spaces.

Whether you’re looking to block out early morning sun or add a sleek finish to your Velux windows, here are the best options for your Shrewsbury loft conversion.

1. Blackout Skylight Blinds

Best for: Bedrooms that need total darkness

Lofts often get hit with more direct sunlight than ground-floor rooms. Our blackout blinds are designed to completely block out light — ideal if you’re a light sleeper or need to sleep during the day. They also offer thermal insulation, helping regulate the temperature in the often-variable loft environment.

✅ Perfect for Velux, Keylite, and Fakro roof windows

2. Pleated Thermal Blinds

Best for: Keeping your loft cool in summer and warm in winter

Thermal pleated blinds offer a softer look while still providing excellent insulation. They’re a popular choice in Shrewsbury loft bedrooms where customers want energy efficiency without sacrificing style. These blinds are available in light-filtering or blackout options and come in a wide range of colours.

✅ Ideal for sloped ceilings and modern loft aesthetics

3. Electric Skylight Blinds

Best for: Hard-to-reach roof windows

If your skylight is placed high up or you just want that extra bit of luxury, remote-controlled electric blinds are a game-changer. With the touch of a button, you can open and close your blinds without climbing on furniture.

✅ Great for accessibility and convenience

4. Roller Skylight Blinds

Best for: Clean, modern interior

Simple, stylish, and functional — roller blinds are a timeless option for roof windows. Available in blackout or light-filtering fabrics, they roll neatly into place and are easy to match to your existing decor. We recommend these for minimal, modern Shrewsbury homes.

✅ A budget-friendly yet effective choice

5. Venetian Roof Window Blinds

Best for: Adjustable light control

Need flexibility? Venetian skylight blinds give you the option to tilt the slats to let in just the right amount of light, without fully opening the blind. They’re ideal for loft offices or bedrooms where natural light is welcome but direct sun needs to be softened.

✅ Great for multi-use loft rooms
