Rainy days and breezy evenings in Gloucestershire call for a warm and welcoming home. Discover the best blinds for comfort, privacy, and style — from Day & Night to Venetians — with Lakeside Blinds of Cheltenham & Gloucester.

It’s no secret – Cheltenham, Gloucester, and the surrounding Cotswolds see their fair share of wet, blustery weather as autumn sets in. When it’s grey and chilly outside, there’s nothing better than creating a cosy space indoors. The right window blinds can make all the difference, helping to keep your rooms snug, private, and stylish – while still letting in the daylight you want.

Here are a few customer favourites for this time of year:

Day & Night (Zebra) Blinds

These clever blinds feature alternating sheer and opaque fabric stripes. During the day, align the stripes to let in soft natural light while keeping your view. In the evening, adjust them for complete privacy and a warmer atmosphere.

Vision / Twist / Duo Blinds

Different names, same great idea. Two layers of shifting fabric give you fine-tuned control over light and privacy. Perfect for living rooms and bedrooms in Cheltenham, Tewkesbury, and Stroud where comfort is a top priority on drizzly nights.

Venetian Blinds (Wood, Faux Wood, or Aluminium)

Versatile and timeless, Venetians let you tilt the slats open during the day to enjoy light without glare, then close them fully at night for a snug, enclosed feel. Wood and faux wood finishes add natural warmth – ideal for homes in places like Bishops Cleeve, Cirencester, and Brockworth.

Vertical Blinds

Great for larger windows and patio doors, vertical blinds let you angle the louvres for light control or draw them fully closed to keep out evening drafts. Many of our Gloucester customers love these for conservatories and open-plan living spaces.

Layered Cosiness – Sheers with a Secondary Blind

Want an extra cosy feel? Pair sheer voiles with a roller or Roman blind. The voiles soften daylight beautifully, while the secondary blind provides warmth and privacy when the rain is lashing against the windows.

💡 Top tip: If cosiness is your goal, fabric blinds like Romans or textured Day & Night designs often feel warmer and more inviting than sleek aluminium styles.
