Explore these essential accessories to transform your home environment!
1. Blinds and Shades for Light Control
Blackout Blinds
Ideal for bedrooms or media rooms, blackout blinds block all light, ensuring complete darkness. Available in various styles and colours, these blinds offer both functionality and style. For more details on options, explore our comprehensive VELUX Blind Range Guide.
Venetian Blinds
Offering excellent control over light, Venetian blinds are ideal for spaces where light levels need adjustment throughout the day, such as offices or living rooms.

Duo Blinds
Duo blinds combine a blackout blind with a pleated blind, offering flexible control over light levels. Perfect for both day and night use.
