A guide to choosing Venetian blinds

Venetian blinds are a versatile, modern addition to any room. They can bring light and warmth to your home. Adjust the light flow in your room, control your privacy and bring that all-important style to your interior.

In this short guide, we’ll provide you with a little venetian blind inspiration, helping you to make decisions when it comes to choosing the right window dressing for your home. 

Privacy control

If your home is situated near a path or road, you may struggle with creating privacy whilst also bringing light into your home. A venetian blind can be the solution to this issue. With rotating panels, you can control the amount of light and privacy in your room allowing you to create a welcoming atmosphere, whilst blocking out the hustle and bustle of the outside world.  

Wooden venetian blinds

A modern look isn’t for everyone, so if your interior takes on quite a traditional theme, then a wooden venetian blind might be the right for you. A natural material with subtle, neutral colours can add warmth to any room. Authentic wood is always a great look, but it might not be best suited to certain rooms, such as your bathroom or kitchen where the moisture in the air could warp the wood. In that case you could opt for a faux wood window dressing. A PVC faux option has the authentic style of its organic counterpart, but long-lasting water resistance of a man-made material, meaning a gorgeous wooden Venetian is still on the cards for your bathroom or kitchen. 

Match your interior

When looking for inspiration, you’ll want to find the style that will best suit your home. Venetian blinds in a wide range of colours will allow you to include your own flair to a space. Opt for something bright and colourful if that’s your thing, or rich and dark for an atmospheric style. Whatever you want to achieve, having variety at your fingertips will always help when it comes to choosing venetian blinds.
