Venetian Blinds and Where to Use Them
Venetian blinds are referred to as ‘those pretty ones that go brrrr when you run your finger down them’ by my young cousin, which I think is a wonderful way to describe the magical ripple effect of this style. One of the greatest appeals is their aesthetic and the fact that the elegant concertina style structure creates the illusion of depth helping your room to look larger. However, they boast an array of technical features too to complement their attractiveness. As one of our consistent bestsellers, we’ve made sure to offer innovative variations suitable for a range of home and office spaces so that there’s nowhere you can’t enjoy Venetians.
Conservatories
An Aluminium Perfect Fit Venetian blind is one of the best solutions there is for conservatory windows that can otherwise be awkward to dress. The Perfect Fit framework attaches directly onto the glass without the need for any holes or drilling to create a clean and professional finish with convenient access to window handles. The PVC finish easily withstands humid conditions and can be wiped clean either within the frame or you can pop it out for a more thorough dusting.
Living Rooms
For your living room, we especially love our Wood Effect Venetians that harmonise beautifully with your wooden furnishings for consistency and flow throughout your room. From Silver Birch (hyperlink) to a rich Mahogany (hyperlink), these Fauxwoods are excellent imitations of the authentic grained originals without the environmental impact. Embrace rustic chic or minimal contemporary styles with these exceptionally stylish blinds.
Kitchens
Our classic Aluminium Venetians work perfectly in kitchens by benefiting from a water-resistant surface that is easy to wipe clean. You can eliminate most stains or splashes in seconds with just a baby wipe or damp cloth to always keep your window area looking pristine and hygienic; for more details about cleaning your blinds, take a look at our previous blog (hyperlink) which will explain just how low-maintenance these styles are.
Bathrooms
Venetian blinds can also happily be installed in your bathroom thanks to this water-resistant coating that allows drips or condensation to be simply wiped off. Available in a striking selection of shades, you could choose a vibrant pop of colour for a modern twist against traditional white tiles or opt for a soothing sky blue to encompass a relaxing seaside ambience.
Bedrooms
Exemplifying their versatility further, Venetians also work well in bedrooms. When fully closed, they provide a high level of shading since the curved slats are cleverly designed to prevent gapping. For a stronger blackout performance, we would recommend our blackout Roller blinds, as the single strip of fabric eliminates the possibility of light seeping through completely, but Venetians do a good job. All our blinds come fitted with the necessary child safety devices to address loose cords or chains, meaning that you could confidently fit these blinds into your kid’s bedroom too.
If you’ve been captivated by the timeless appeal of Venetians, you’re not alone. Due to their popularity, we stock almost every shade under the sun so that you can perfectly match your new blinds to any colour scheme.
