Made-to-Measure Conservatory Blinds & Curtains in North Devon
Make your conservatory more comfortable, private and enjoyable with professionally measured and fitted blinds or curtains, selected specifically for the way you use your room.
Enjoy the Light Without Losing Comfort or Privacy
A conservatory can be one of the most enjoyable rooms in your home, providing natural light and a relaxing connection with your garden. However, large areas of glass can also create challenges with bright sunlight, glare, privacy and changing temperatures.
At Merlin Interiors, we supply and professionally install made-to-measure conservatory blinds and curtains throughout North Devon. We will consider the size and style of your windows, how much sunlight the room receives and how you use the space before recommending the most suitable window furnishing.
Although blinds are normally our preferred solution for a traditional conservatory, every property and every customer is different. We can provide everything from light-filtering or blackout pleated blinds to aluminium Venetian blinds, vertical blinds and beautifully made-to-measure curtains.
What Can Conservatory Blinds Help With?
The right made-to-measure blinds allow you to adapt your conservatory throughout the day without losing the bright, open character that makes the room special.
Bright Sunlight
Filter strong daylight and make the room more comfortable without necessarily blocking the light completely.
Glare Control
Reduce glare on televisions, tablets and computer screens when your conservatory is used for relaxing or working.
Privacy
Enjoy greater privacy from neighbouring properties while retaining control over how much natural light enters the room.
A Neater Finish
Individually fitted blinds complement conservatory frames and avoid excessive fabric gathering around wide window areas.
Perfect Fit Pleated Blinds
Perfect Fit pleated blinds are an excellent choice for many conservatories because they fit neatly around the individual panes of glass. The blind moves with an opening window or door and does not require conventional drilling into the window frame.
They are available in a wide selection of colours and fabrics, including light-filtering and blackout options. This allows us to tailor the balance of light, privacy and shading to your conservatory.
- Made to measure for each individual window
- Neat, streamlined appearance
- Light-filtering and blackout fabrics available
- No loose operating cords or chains
- Suitable for opening windows and conservatory doors
- Excellent control over light and privacy
Open, Partially Lowered or Fully Closed
Individually controlled pleated blinds allow you to respond to the changing position of the sun. Keep selected windows open to enjoy the garden view, partially lower the blinds to reduce glare, or close them when greater privacy and shading are required.
Perfect Fit Aluminium Venetian Blinds
Perfect Fit frames can also be combined with aluminium Venetian blinds. Rather than raising or lowering a fabric panel, the Venetian slats can be tilted to control the angle and direction of incoming light.
This makes them particularly useful where you want to reduce direct sunlight or improve privacy without completely closing the window covering.
- Tilt the slats to control light and privacy
- Clean, contemporary appearance
- Fits closely to the individual pane of glass
- No conventional loose cords or chains
- Available in a wide range of finishes
- Easy to coordinate with conservatory frames
Vertical Blinds for Conservatories
Vertical blinds remain one of the most versatile options for large conservatory windows, wide glazed areas and patio doors. Modern vertical blinds are available in an extensive selection of attractive colours, textures and fabrics and are far removed from the plain office-style blinds many people remember.
The louvres can be tilted to redirect sunlight and increase privacy, or drawn back when you want to enjoy an uninterrupted view of the garden.
Where suitable, we prefer a simple wand-operated control rather than traditional cord-and-chain operation. This creates a cleaner finish and removes loose operating loops.
- Well suited to wide conservatory windows
- Excellent for glazed doors and large openings
- Tilt the louvres to redirect sunlight
- Draw the blind back to reveal the full view
- Modern colours, patterns and textured fabrics
- Wand-operated options available
Should You Choose Blinds or Curtains?
We normally recommend blinds for a traditional conservatory, but that does not mean curtains are unsuitable for every property. The correct choice depends on the construction of the room, its heating and insulation, the window proportions and the appearance you want to create.
Blinds for Conservatories
Conservatories experience greater temperature changes than most other rooms. In winter, moisture and condensation may also be present around the glazing.
Curtains contain considerably more fabric and may absorb moisture from the surrounding air. Prolonged exposure to condensation, sunlight and changing temperatures may cause curtain fabric to deteriorate more quickly and can increase the risk of mildew or mould developing if the room is not sufficiently heated and ventilated.
Conservatories also commonly have wide but relatively short windows. The amount of gathered fabric required for curtains can therefore appear bulky, whereas blinds create a cleaner finish against the glass.
Made-to-Measure Conservatory Curtains
Curtains can still be a beautiful choice, particularly where a conservatory has been upgraded with a solid insulated roof, a regulated heating system and conditions similar to the rest of the home.
They may also be suitable where the customer wants to soften the appearance of the room, coordinate the windows with other furnishings or create a warmer, more traditional interior.
Merlin Interiors can supply made-to-measure conservatory curtains in an extensive selection of fabrics, with blackout, lined and fire-retardant options available where appropriate.
Advice Based on Your Home, Not a One-Size-Fits-All Answer
Conservatory window shapes, roof designs and layouts vary considerably. Some include French or sliding doors, some have opening top windows, and others form a fully insulated extension to the main living area.
During your consultation, we can assess the practical challenges of the room and help you compare suitable fabrics, colours and operating systems. Our aim is to recommend a solution that looks right, operates easily and supports the way you want to use your conservatory.

Conservatory Blinds & Curtains FAQs
What are the best blinds for a conservatory?
The best option depends on your windows and priorities. Perfect Fit pleated blinds are popular because they fit neatly around individual panes and are available in light-filtering and blackout materials. Aluminium Venetian blinds provide precise control through tilting slats, while vertical blinds work particularly well across larger windows and doors.
Can blinds help reduce heat in a conservatory?
Blinds can help shade the room from direct sunlight and reduce glare, making the conservatory more comfortable. The result will depend on the direction of the windows, the type of glazing and the blind fabric selected. We can recommend suitable light-filtering, blackout or specialist materials during your consultation.
Can I have blackout blinds in my conservatory?
Yes. Blackout pleated and other blackout blind options may be available, depending on the conservatory frames and the chosen system. Because light can sometimes enter around the edges of individual blinds, we will explain the likely result before you order.
Are Perfect Fit blinds fitted without drilling?
Perfect Fit blinds use a frame designed to fit around compatible glazed windows and doors without conventional drilling into the window frame. We will inspect your conservatory to confirm that the system is suitable for your particular glazing.
Are conservatory blinds child safe?
Perfect Fit blinds do not use loose operating cords or chains. Vertical blinds can also be supplied with wand-operated controls where suitable. Our team will explain the safest and most practical operating options for your household.
Can curtains be fitted in a conservatory?
Yes. Curtains can work especially well in a solid-roof, insulated and properly heated conservatory that functions more like a conventional living room. We would normally be more cautious in an unheated glazed conservatory where significant condensation or extreme temperature changes occur.
Do you offer made-to-measure conservatory curtains?
Yes. Merlin Interiors can supply made-to-measure curtains in a wide range of colours, patterns and materials. Blackout and fire-retardant options are also available where required. We will advise whether curtains are appropriate for the conditions within your conservatory.
Do you measure and fit conservatory blinds?
Yes. We provide a professional measuring and fitting service, which is particularly valuable in a conservatory containing multiple windows, doors, opening fanlights or unusual shapes.
