Venetian Blinds

Adding the final touches to a room can present a dilemma. Do you want a soft fabric window covering, or a durable shade that provides protection against UV rays? Venetian blinds are a perfect compromise. The blinds are constructed to bring radiant sunlight and an airy, outdoor feel into a room, all while safeguarding privacy and protection. It has been said that venetian blinds are a fixture in film noir because they cast vivid and distinct shadows–often lending an air of intrigue and mystery.

Venetians feature a simple yet functional design. Venetian blinds are made of wood or metal slats. The slats are horizontal, and are maneuvered by a cord pulley system. They look rich in wood, and are often found in homes built from the 1940s to the 1960s.

Venetian blinds can also help you cut down on cooling costs. When it’s warm and bright outside, simply tilt them towards the ceiling. Incoming sunlight is directed away from you, and you’re still able to see outside. Decorating Depot has a wide selection of custom-made Venetian blinds, featuring brands such as Graber and Hunter Douglas. You can also find assistance in measuring and installing your venetian blinds.

You can personalize venetian blinds by covering the strings with decorative fabric tape. Visit an art or craft store and choose your fabric tape. Measure the length of your cord, and cut the appropriate length of tape, and wrap the tape around your pulley strings.
