Roller Blinds Strathmore
Choosing the right window furnishings can make a noticeable difference to privacy, natural light and everyday comfort. At New World of Blinds, we provide custom roller blinds in Strathmore for homes, apartments, offices and other commercial spaces. Rather than relying on standard sizes, each blind is measured to suit the individual window and selected according to how the room is used.
Our range includes blockout, sunscreen, translucent, lace and motorised roller blinds, giving you flexibility across bedrooms, living areas, home offices and larger glazed spaces. New World of Blinds has been manufacturing and installing window coverings in Melbourne since 2005, with custom products manufactured at its Campbellfield facility. The business also offers a free in-home measure and quote and a five-year warranty on products and installation.
Roller Blinds Designed Around Your Space
Roller blinds have a simple operating design, with the fabric rolling neatly around a tube positioned above the window. Their compact form makes them suitable for interiors where you want effective coverage without adding unnecessary visual bulk.
The right fabric depends on what you want the room to achieve. Bedrooms generally benefit from stronger privacy and light reduction, while living areas may need glare control without losing natural brightness. Home offices can require another balance again, particularly where direct sunlight reflects onto screens.
Colour and texture also influence how a blind works with the rest of your interior. Neutral fabrics can sit quietly alongside existing furnishings, while deeper shades or textured materials can create greater contrast.
By measuring each window and discussing how the room is used, we can recommend a configuration that considers both appearance and practical performance.
Blockout Roller Blinds for Bedrooms and Private Spaces
Blockout roller blinds are designed for rooms where privacy and light reduction are the main priorities. The fabric prevents light from passing directly through it, making this style especially useful for bedrooms, nurseries and media rooms.
They can also be useful for street-facing windows where stronger evening privacy is required. During warmer periods, lowering the blind can reduce the amount of direct sunlight reaching the room, although window orientation, glazing and installation all influence overall thermal performance.
Blockout fabrics are available in a variety of colours and finishes, allowing the blind to coordinate with flooring, wall colours and other furnishings.
For households wanting a minimal window treatment that can be raised completely during the day and lowered when additional coverage is needed, blockout roller blinds provide a straightforward and practical option.
Sunscreen Roller Blinds for Glare and Daytime Light
Not every room needs to be darkened. In living areas, dining rooms and home offices, maintaining natural light can be just as important as managing glare.
Sunscreen roller blinds use an open-weave fabric that filters strong sunlight while allowing a degree of outward visibility during daylight hours. This makes them particularly useful for windows where you want to reduce harsh brightness without completely covering the view.
They can also help reduce direct UV exposure reaching furniture, flooring and interior finishes. However, sunscreen blinds do not provide the same evening privacy as blockout fabrics because visibility changes when interior lighting becomes stronger than outdoor light.
For this reason, sunscreen blinds are often selected for daytime living spaces or combined with another window covering when stronger night-time privacy is needed.
Translucent Roller Blinds for Soft, Filtered Light
Translucent roller blinds sit between sunscreen and blockout options. Their fabric diffuses incoming daylight, creating a softer level of brightness while reducing direct visibility through the window.
This makes them a useful choice for rooms where you want natural light without an exposed feeling. Dining areas, hallways, studies and some living spaces can all benefit from this balance.
Unlike sunscreen fabrics, translucent materials generally obscure the outside view, but they maintain a brighter atmosphere than a full blockout blind.
The effect varies depending on fabric colour, texture and the direction of sunlight, so seeing samples in the room can make selection easier.
For customers who want daytime privacy without creating a dark interior, translucent roller blinds provide a clean and understated solution.
Lace Roller Blinds for Decorative Privacy
For interiors that call for something more decorative, lace roller blinds introduce pattern and texture while maintaining the simplicity of a roller system.
The lace-style fabric allows daylight to filter through while creating an additional visual layer at the window. These blinds can work well in sitting rooms, dining areas or other spaces where the window covering is intended to contribute to the room’s character rather than disappear completely.
Because lace fabrics differ in openness, pattern and colour, the level of privacy and daylight can vary between designs.
They can be particularly effective in interiors where traditional detailing, softer furnishings or decorative fabrics already play an important role.
A made-to-measure installation ensures the pattern sits proportionately across the window and the blind operates smoothly.
Motorised Roller Blinds for Easier Everyday Control
Motorised operation can make roller blinds more convenient, particularly when windows are large, positioned high or fitted with multiple blinds.
Instead of operating each blind manually, a motorised system allows compatible blinds to be raised or lowered using an appropriate control method. New World of Blinds currently offers motorisation as part of its window furnishing range.
Motorisation can also produce a cleaner appearance because there is less reliance on traditional manual operating components.
It can be useful in open-plan homes with several adjoining windows, bedrooms where convenience is important, and commercial spaces requiring frequent adjustment throughout the day.
The correct motor and control arrangement depends on the blind dimensions, product configuration and installation requirements, so it is worth considering motorisation during the initial consultation rather than after the blinds have been ordered.
Dual Roller Blinds for Day and Night Flexibility
Some rooms need different levels of coverage at different times of the day. Dual roller blinds address this by combining two blinds at the same window.
A common arrangement pairs a sunscreen or translucent fabric with a blockout fabric. During daylight hours, the lighter blind can help manage glare or privacy while maintaining brightness. In the evening, the blockout blind can be lowered for stronger coverage.
This approach can be particularly useful in bedrooms, living rooms and street-facing spaces where privacy requirements change throughout the day.
Using two fabrics also provides greater flexibility than asking one material to perform every function.
The two blinds should be carefully positioned so they operate independently without interfering with the window, frame or surrounding furnishings.
Why Custom Measurement Matters
Window sizes can vary considerably, even within the same property. A ready-made blind may appear convenient, but small sizing differences can affect both its appearance and operation.
A custom measurement allows the width, drop and installation position to be considered specifically for the opening. This helps reduce unnecessary gaps and gives the finished blind more balanced proportions.
It is also important to decide whether the blind will be fitted inside the window recess or positioned over the opening. Each approach can create a different look and may influence light coverage.
Handles, frames, nearby walls and other architectural details should also be considered before installation.
Professional measuring is particularly valuable for multiple adjoining windows, large openings and motorised systems where accuracy directly affects how the blind performs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of roller blind is best for a bedroom?
Blockout roller blinds are generally the most suitable option when privacy and reducing incoming light are the priorities. The final choice should also consider window orientation, fabric colour and installation position.
What is the difference between sunscreen and translucent blinds?
Sunscreen blinds filter sunlight while retaining some daytime outward visibility. Translucent blinds diffuse daylight but generally obscure the view through the fabric, providing a stronger sense of daytime privacy.
Can I combine sunscreen and blockout roller blinds?
Yes. A dual roller system can combine two different fabrics at the same window, allowing you to use a lighter covering during the day and a blockout option when stronger privacy is required.
Can roller blinds be motorised?
Yes. Suitable roller blinds can be fitted with motorised operation. This can be particularly useful for large windows, hard-to-reach openings or rooms containing several blinds.
