Venetian blinds were used by the French before anywhere else and quality French pleasure costs money! Not anymore. For they are popular now with great demands and more sales bring the price down.

The horizontal, one-above-another slats of the Venetian blind have now embraced metal, plastic, natural and artificial wood, bamboo...what not! These aside, there’s a completely different segment in fabric. The suspended strips of cloth are called tapes; there’s a cord that tilts them in unison as much as near-180o. This way, the tapes rotate and overlap, stopping harsh daylight from entering and putting up a visual barrier between you and the outside world for desired time. Whether or how much light it will allow to seep in is really the colour, cloth and cut department thing, which we’ll try to cover separately.

The cords also pull the bottom of the blind up by pressing the tapes against each other; their internal gaps reduce as one tape press the underside of the next tape above. This system is a modern variation of the older this-or-that; it combines lift-cords with the rotational-cords through the two edges of each tape. For plastic, metal and wood/bamboo slats, there are often grooves created at the edges. The functionality operates on hidden roller mechanism, making Venetian blinds attain fancier looks and add true value to interior decorations. Whether you would like the formal style of fold or the classic style is solely up to you; however, colours, textures and material to be thoroughly judged before deciding on the type. The cuffed hem or the curved hem debate comes much later. You need that to display a half pulled-up blind. This enhances the classy touch bit more.

Design, overall look and presence perhaps vary the most with polyester materials. They are also much easier to clean and dry than fabric blinds, so no need to hang dusty draperies around and catch a dust allergy.

Polyester materials also fold easily and come in various shapes and sizes. They stop you from shrinking your window size to fit the interior decor; rather, now it’s the other way ‘round.

Second in craze is the bamboo Venetian Aluminium Blinds Oakleigh. It brings a vintage look and feel and much recommended to a nature-themed surrounding.

Though curtain material largely depends on the type of room, it’s always wise to go for a harmful UV-ray blocking, translucent Venetian Aluminium Blinds Clayton. They also impart a warm and soft look to your interiors while the block-out material prevents the UV rays.
