About New Malden

Located just the other side of the A3 from Surbiton and Tolworth, New Malden offers a strong mix of 1930s semi-detached homes, family houses and more recent developments. Its convenient transport links and proximity to Kingston and Epsom make it a popular choice for commuters and growing families.

Many homes in New Malden feature traditional splay bay windows, generous front aspects and garden-facing bifold or patio doors — all of which benefit from carefully chosen window coverings.

Privacy Solutions for 1930s Bay Windows

New Malden is well known for its 1930s splay bay windows. These angled bays create character and space, but they also require carefully measured window coverings to maintain privacy without disrupting the shape of the room.

Popular options include:

• Plantation shutters for a timeless, structured finish
• Wooden Venetian blinds that follow the splay angles neatly
• Roman blinds for softness and fabric detail

On splay bays, wooden Venetian blinds work particularly well, as they can be installed individually within each angled section while maintaining a consistent look from outside.

Plantation Shutters — Elegant & Practical

For homeowners seeking a more architectural and long-term solution, plantation shutters are a popular choice. They provide excellent privacy for street-facing properties while allowing flexible light control.

Shutters are especially well suited to bay windows and period-style homes, enhancing kerb appeal and interior finish.

Wooden Venetian Blinds

Wooden Venetian blinds are a versatile and practical option in New Malden homes. Their adjustable slats allow precise control over light and privacy, making them ideal for front-facing rooms.

They are particularly effective in splay bay windows, where separate blinds can be fitted into each panel to follow the natural angles of the bay.

Vertical Blinds for Bifold & Patio Doors

Many New Malden homes have large garden-facing glazing, including bifold doors and wide patio openings. Vertical blinds offer a clean and practical solution for covering these larger areas.

• Easy to operate for everyday use
• Effective privacy without blocking all light
• Suitable for wide spans of glazing

They provide flexibility while maintaining a simple, functional appearance that suits modern extensions.
