Beyond their practical benefits of shading and insulation, many overlook the decorative potential that blinds bring to a room. At Oakhurst Blinds, as specialists in fitting various lantern roof blinds across the country, we’ve witnessed a myriad of innovative ideas showcasing how blinds can enhance the aesthetics of your lantern roof extension.

Horizontal Blinds: Sleek Shading with Style Horizontal blinds offers a sleek solution for shading your lantern roof. Typically, depending on the size of the lantern, either opt for ClearVue Wire Free for smaller lanterns or SmartZip, roller blind for larger lanterns. Spanning the bottom of the lantern, either of these solutions provide excellent shading and glare reduction throughout the year.

A Wire Free Blind For Smaller Roof Lanterns

The extended fabric of these blinds significantly influences the room’s overall look, making your choice of colour a crucial element in the decor.  If you’re looking for colour assortment to choose from and have a smaller roof lantern, ClearVue is the answer.  We recommend the use of thermal cellular honeycombe fabrics for these blinds, offering a wide range of colours to complement your existing styling. Opt for a lighter fabric to maintain brightness even when the blind is extended or choose a darker fabric to add an accentuating colour to the room. In some cases, we can even use a roller blind as a wire-free alternative for shading your lantern roof.  Cellular honeycombe fabric is offered in dim-out or blackout fabrics depending on the amount of light filtration and insulation properties you require.

Smart Solutions for Larger Roof Lanterns

For larger lanterns, the only solution is SmartZip from SHY/Guthrie Douglas.  A highly engineered product that’s guaranteed not to sag or ripple across a large expanse of light created by the roof lantern.  If you have a chandelier fixed in the middle of the lantern, the SmartZip is the only solution that will allow you a meet in the middle blind that won’t require an ugly bar situated in the middle of the lantern.

Individual Layout: Tailored Shading for Every Panel For those desiring both the spacious feel of a lantern roof and enhanced shading, we can fit blinds into each individual panel. Using techniques employed in traditional conservatory roofs, our Specialist range of  blinds, including pure™ Pleated and honeycombe fabrics, can neatly fit into various shapes. If you seek a blind that aligns with a more traditional decor, our Pinoleum blinds are an excellent choice. The French Pinoleum range offers weaves available in a variety of colours to complement your existing colour scheme.

Lantern Roof Lighting: Illuminating Elegance A recent trend, we’ve observed is the integration of lighting as a stylish addition to lantern roofs. Whether a simple strip of LED lights around the base or built directly into the lantern roof during construction or maybe a beautiful chandelier set in the middle of the lantern to create the right kind of ambience; lighting combined with a lantern roof blind can enhance the overall effect. Horizontal blinds, in particular, create a lower surface for lights to reflect off, amplifying their impact in the room.
