Pleated Blinds
Once seen mainly in conservatories, pleated blinds have evolved into one of the most versatile and stylish window treatments for any room in the home. Their slim profile, wide fabric range, and flexible operating options make them a smart choice for both modern and traditional interiors.
Contemporary Style & Versatility
- At Crescent Blinds in Leeds, we offer pleated blinds in a vast array of colours, patterns, and specialist fabrics—from light-filtering sheers to blackout materials. Whether you’re looking for a blind that complements your living room décor or need a practical solution for a bedroom or bathroom, pleated blinds adapt beautifully to your space.
- What truly sets pleated blinds apart is their unique functionality. Unlike most blinds that open from the top down, pleated blinds can be configured as bottom-up, top-down, or even floating/free-hanging, giving you precise control over light and privacy. This allows you to, for example, block out the bottom middle portion of the window while still letting daylight in through the top and bottom.
- Another standout option is the Day & Night (or dual fabric) pleated blind. This clever design allows you to combine two different fabrics within a single blind—typically a sheer voile for daytime privacy and a blackout fabric for night-time use. Simply slide the blind to switch between the two as needed, offering flexible privacy and light control.
Insulation & Modern Looks
For enhanced insulation and a sleek, modern look, we also offer the Duette® style pleated blind, also known as a honeycomb blind. These blinds are constructed with a unique cellular structure made up of multiple layers of fabric, creating air pockets that help regulate temperature.
In winter, they help keep the warmth in; in summer, they reduce heat build-up. Duette blinds also conceal their tension cords within the honeycomb layers, giving a clean, streamlined finish with no visible strings.
Suitability
Because pleated blinds sit close to the window, they’re particularly suitable for shaped windows, skylights, and conservatory roofs, where other blind types may not fit as well. They can also be fitted into Perfect Fit frames for uPVC windows and doors, providing a sleek, screw-free installation with no damage to your window frames.
If you’re looking for a blind that offers modern style, superior flexibility, and innovative features, pleated blinds could be the perfect choice.
Day & Night
Another standout option is the Day & Night (or dual fabric) pleated blind. This clever design allows you to combine two different fabrics within a single blind—typically a sheer voile for daytime privacy and a blackout fabric for night-time use.
Simply slide the blind to switch between the two as needed, offering flexible privacy and light control without compromising on style.

Asher and Corrine
“We recently moved into our new home and were on the hunt for some new kitchen pleated blinds. Crescent Blinds came highly recommended, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. The pleated blinds we ordered fit perfectly and add such a clean, modern touch to our kitchen. Andrew helped us to choose the right design and measured up perfectly. The ordering process was smooth, and delivery was faster than expected. We’re already planning to order more for other rooms. “
