Window blinds are an important part of any orangery. They control light, maintain privacy, and help regulate temperature throughout the year. With so many options available, it’s worth taking time to choose blinds that suit both your needs and your orangery’s style.

Why blinds are important for an orangery

An orangery features large glazed areas that flood the space with light. While this creates a bright and airy atmosphere, it can also lead to glare, overheating in summer, and heat loss in winter.


The right blinds can solve these issues, making the space more comfortable without sacrificing style. In a luxury orangery, well-chosen blinds can also enhance the overall look and feel.


Types of blinds for orangeries

Roller blinds

Simple and versatile, roller blinds are easy to operate and available in countless fabrics and colours.


Pleated blinds

These fit neatly into window frames and are ideal for roof lanterns. Many pleated blinds use thermal fabrics to improve energy efficiency.


Roman blinds

Offering a softer, more luxurious look, Roman blinds are perfect for traditional interiors.


Venetian blinds

Available in wood, faux wood, and aluminium, these allow fine control over light and privacy.

Blinds for roof lanterns

Roof lantern blinds can be manually operated or motorised. They are useful for controlling glare and keeping heat out in summer. Motorised options can be controlled via remote or smart home systems for ease of use.


Colour and fabric choices

Light-coloured fabrics help keep the orangery bright while still providing shade. Blackout fabrics are available for maximum light control, while sheer fabrics offer privacy without blocking daylight.


Measuring and fitting

Professional measuring and fitting ensures blinds look neat and work properly. Made-to-measure blinds will fit exactly, avoiding gaps that reduce their effectiveness.


Conclusion

Orangery window blinds offer both functional benefits and a chance to add style to your space. Whether you prefer modern minimalism or a more traditional feel, there is a solution to suit your home.


For a perfect match, consider how your blinds will complement the structure and materials of your orangery and the wider home. Working with a design specialist in glass home extensions will ensure your blinds enhance both comfort and aesthetics.
