Small Window Solutions: Maximising Miniature Openings

In compact spaces, every centimetre and beam of light counts. Small windows demand creative solutions that optimise light, privacy, and decoration.

Design Principles

• Vertical emphasis: Slim slats and tall folds draw the eye upward.
• Minimal headrails: Hidden or slimline headrails avoid visual clutter.
• Light colours & translucency: Use light‑reflective fabrics to amplify daylight.

Top Product Picks

1. Micro Venetian Blinds: 15 mm aluminium or faux wood slats—tilt for ventilation, fold compactly when raised.
2. Slim‑fit Roller Blinds: Enclosed cassette or recessed headrail sits within 25 mm of the frame.
3. Roman Blinds (Cordless): Soft fabric stacks neatly; cordless lifts avoid tangles in tight recesses.
4. Skylight Blinds: Tool‑free snap frames for VELUX®, Keylite®, and Fakro—choose blackout or dim‑out for bedrooms.
5. PerfectFIT™ Shutters: PVC frame clamps around sash windows—controls built into slat tilt bar.

Installation & Styling Tips

• Recess depth: Ensure a minimum of 20 mm to accommodate slim headrails—measure from glass to frame rebate.
• Layering: Pair lightweight sheers with low-profile roller or pleated blinds for softness and function.
• Hardware colour: Match headrail finish to window frame to create seamless integration.

DIY Blinds Tip: In small bathrooms or cloakrooms, choose moisture‑resistant PVC products to withstand humidity and easy wipe‑down cleaning.
