Our recommendations: Curtains for office spaces

Office Blockout Curtains

Blockout curtains are designed to do just that – block out the light. This means they are ideally suited for office areas that require complete privacy. Fitted on a track system, they can be pulled open at times when privacy is not required. If there is direct sunlight coming through an office window, and a sheer curtain won’t provide sufficient shade or glare reduction, then a blockout curtain is a great option. Professionally made office blockout curtains for office will keep your office cool in summer and better insulated in winter. However, there is no option for filtered light with blockout curtains – they are either open (full light coming in) or closed (complete blockout). If you want to achieve a filtered light you may want to consider pairing the blockout curtain with a sunscreen roller blind.

Office roller blinds

Roller blinds provide a highly functional option for office areas. Offering a clean minimalistic finish, they are durable, practical and provide a range of light control and privacy options. They are available in 3 different types of fabric – sunscreen, light filtering and blockout. All 3 fabric types reduce glare on computer screens and monitors, with sunscreen blinds still offering a view out of the window and a level of daytime privacy. If a greater level of light control is required, then light filtering and blockout roller blinds are the better individual options, with both also offering a high level of privacy. For the best overall solution, where both light control and privacy are an issue, we suggest the addition of a double bracket system which allows 2 blinds to be mounted together, usually a sunscreen blind for light control and a blockout blind for total privacy.

Office Venetian Blinds

Aluminium venetian blinds have been popular in office environments for decades. They are simple to use, control the light, offer privacy, and are very cost effective. For an elegant, more premium look, our range of Visionwood timber venetians are available in a range of designer colours to co-ordinate beautifully with your office furniture and décor. Using the controls to angle the slats, it’s possible to maximise natural light, reduce glare on computer screens and maintain privacy when required. If the office is located in a particularly dusty environment though we would generally not recommend office venetian blinds, as the horizontal slats can be prone to collecting dust in such situations.

Office roman blinds

Roman blinds are generally more suited to smaller, boutique type offices. They deliver a softer, less contemporary style than roller blinds or venetians, enabling them to co-ordinate beautifully with the interior design and soft furnishings in this type of office. They are ideal for blocking out light from computer screens and provide excellent privacy when required. However, if you also want to achieve a filtered light, you may want to consider fitting a sunscreen roller blind behind the roman blind.

Office Plantation Shutters

Plantation shutters provide a wonderful luxury finish for any window and are well suited to an office environment. Adjusting the louvres will control the light entering the office, to minimise glare on computer screens and provide privacy as required. Whilst white remains a firm favourite with customers, office plantation shutters are available in a range of colours to really enhance and co-ordinate with any office decor.
