Achieve Flexible Light Control with Custom Mirage Blinds in Coventry
Many Coventry homeowners struggle with window dressings that force an “all-or-nothing” choice between natural daylight and total privacy. If you are tired of compromising, Mirage Blinds—also widely known as Day and Night Blinds or Vision Blinds—offer the perfect innovation.
At Coventry Blinds, we specialise in supplying and installing these clever, dual-layered systems. Because these blinds combine the clean lines of a roller blind with the flexible control of a Venetian blind, they represent the modern answer for your home.
What are Mirage (Day & Night) Blinds?
Mirage blinds feature a distinctive design built around two layers of fabric. These layers alternate between opaque (solid) stripes and sheer (transparent) mesh stripes. By using a continuous loop of fabric that wraps around the bottom bar, you can simply adjust the operating chain to slide the layers past each other:
Daytime Mode (Open): You can align the sheer stripes to let soft, filtered daylight flood the room while retaining your view outside.
Nighttime Mode (Closed): You can align the opaque stripes to block the light path entirely, providing total privacy and a room-darkening effect.
The Benefits of Vision Blinds for Your Home
Mirage Blinds are high-performance window treatments tailored for busy, modern living.
1. Unparalleled Versatility
No other blind offers this specific level of light control. Consequently, they are perfect for kitchen diners, living rooms, and home offices where your light requirements change constantly throughout the day. You can precisely manage natural light without needing to fully raise or lower the blind.
2. Modern Aesthetics
The striking horizontal stripes create a bold, contemporary look that adds texture to your windows. We offer a vast range of colours and finishes, from subtle neutrals to rich tones, ensuring your new blinds complement your décor perfectly.
3. Enhanced Energy Efficiency
The dual fabric layers act as an extra thermal barrier. Because they filter sunlight in the summer and provide insulation in the winter, they help maintain a comfortable temperature year-round. This simple change can subtly contribute to lower energy bills.
4. Privacy Without Sacrificing Light
Unlike standard blinds, the sheer fabric allows you to maintain a light-filled space while protecting your home from outside views. When you close them fully at night, they offer total coverage and security.

FAQs
What are mirage or vision blinds?
Mirage blinds, also known as day and night blinds or vision blinds, feature a dual-layer fabric with alternating sheer and opaque stripes. By adjusting the layers, you can control how much light enters the room while maintaining privacy.
Are day and night blinds energy efficient?
Yes. Vision (day and night) blinds help regulate indoor temperatures by filtering sunlight and reducing glare. This can improve energy efficiency by keeping rooms cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
Do mirage or vision blinds provide privacy at night?
Yes. When the opaque fabric layers are aligned, day and night blinds provide excellent privacy. In the evening, when indoor lights are on, it’s best to fully close the blinds for maximum coverage.

Absolutely. All our day and night blinds can be fitted with a motorised system, allowing you to adjust them via remote control, smartphone app, or smart home assistants for added convenience.
