Benefits of Residential Venetian Blinds
While it's good to have plenty of choices in indoor blinds for a home, too many options can make it tricky to reach a decision. To help you work out what's best for your place, here are several of the benefits that Venetian blinds provide.
Light Control
Venetian blinds consist of horizontal slats that you can angle up or down to deflect light around the room. You can control the direction and amount of incoming light, allowing you to let in the sunshine while directing it away from your eyes or a TV screen. Venetian blinds also create beautiful textured effects for an appealing ambience. You can also regulate light by pulling up the blinds and revealing the window, partly or wholly. Angling the slats creates privacy as well.
Material Options
Venetian blinds come in materials like timber, vinyl, and aluminium. Wooden slats can be stained in different tones or be painted. Vinyl blinds can be embossed with a wood grain pattern so that they look like white painted timber. Another alternative is aluminium.
Each of these materials creates a different look. For example, in a home office, you could fit aluminium blinds that impart a sleek modern aesthetic. In a bohemian space, on the other hand, you may install stained timber blinds. Classic white painted wood or faux wood vinyl blinds suit modern and traditional spaces. Thus, you'll have material and colour options to suit variously styled homes.
Window Sizes and Styles
Venetian blinds are perfect for small, medium, and large windows. If your home has bay windows or casement windows, classic Venetian blinds flatter these styles. If you install them over a wide window, choose a material that can cover the expanse without sagging. For example, opt for timber or aluminium. To strengthen vinyl blinds and prevent bowing, choose a product with MDF or aluminium inserts inside the slats. However, you may be better with roller or vertical blinds for expansive glass doors and windows because both these options may create a sleeker covering. Numerous Venetian blinds in a row can look cluttered.
Easy to Clean
Using various materials, Venetian indoor blinds are suitable for all areas of the home, including bathrooms and kitchens. In these humid environments, you could choose vinyl or aluminium rather than wood, which may rot or absorb moisture. Venetian blinds are easy to clean as you can simply wipe or dust the slats. They don't absorb odours like fabric blinds or curtains.
