Popular variations of the blackout blind include the Duo Blackout and Pleated combination blind and the remote control blackout blind.

Duo Blackout Pleated Combination Blinds
Duo blinds combine a blackout blind and a pleated blind into one. The idea is to allow a comprehensive form of light and privacy control. The pleated part of the blind is a translucent white fabric which will give privacy but allow some light to diffuse into the room.
