There are many different materials to choose from to match whatever is ideal for your room, if you would like the light to be blocked out this means you would need a blackout fabric, which would prevent any light from getting through into the room when the blind is closed. If you di not want all the light blocked out you would be able to get a material that would let some light through the blind when closed, you can get these type of material in a wide range of colours and patterns to suit your taste.

You are able to choose which side you would like to have your controls on and if you would like to have it centre drawn, when the fabric and the rail is split in the middle so you can open them up to both sides, this would be ideal for conservatories.
