An alternative to voile panels is Swish Sheer Elegance, a ready-made sheer roller blind, which filters light through alternating opaque and transparent bands. Priced from £50, simply re-position the opaque bands for privacy at night. It can be trimmed to fit, saving on made-to-measure costs. Also check out Sunway's Multishade - a sliding fabric system, priced from £60 for a made-to-measure blind.
