Fine Window Blinds: The Versatile Decoration for Today's Home
Summary
Blinds are a popular choice for both industrial and home settings due to their practicality. They're durable, easy to clean, effectively filter sunlight, and ensure privacy, making them a favored window treatment. The challenge has been making them attractive for home decor.
Types of Window Blinds
Designers and home decorating companies have innovated to create a wide array of materials and finishes for blinds. By combining these with curtains and valances, windows gain a warmer, more inviting feel. This results in attractive, bright, airy, and contemporary window treatments. Here are some common types of blinds used in homes today:
1. Venetian Blinds
Traditionally made from aluminum, Venetian blinds now also come in plastic. Slats are 1, 2, or 3 inches wide, slightly curved, and connected by cords and twill tape. They can be opened, closed, angled, or pulled up entirely. Versatile and available in many colors, they provide excellent privacy.
2. Wood Slat Blinds
These are wooden variants of Venetian blinds. With thicker slats, they create a bulkier stack when drawn up. Stained or painted, they add a natural touch and allow light control similar to other styles.
3. Miniblinds
A favorite over the past 20 years, miniblinds feature narrow slats, either 1/2 or 1 inch wide. Made from aluminum or PVC, they come in various colors and offer a sleek appearance when closed.
4. Vertical Blinds
Popular in both offices and homes, these are ideal for windows and sliding glass doors. The PVC or metal slats hang from a top track and can be operated via remote control in some models.
5. Woven Blinds
Unlike traditional styles, woven blinds have narrow slats woven together, allowing sunlight to filter through small spaces. They are rolled up to admit more light and provide less privacy than Venetians.
Materials for Blinds
Blinds come in a variety of styles and materials, offering decorators versatility to match every taste. Here are some common materials:
Metal
Aluminum is a top choice for its durability and ease of maintenance. Available in many colors and sizes, it's a long-lasting option.
Wood
Praised for its aesthetic appeal, wood adds beauty and strength. Stained or painted, it offers numerous color options. Used in both Venetian and woven blinds, wood slats range from one to two inches.
Cane
Ideal for woven blinds, cane includes bamboo or rattan that doesn't open or close but admits filtered light through small gaps.
Vinyl
Vinyl or PVC is used in both Venetian and woven styles. It's cost-effective compared to metal or wood, easy to clean, and long-lasting.
Fabric
Stiffened fabric may also be used, often backed with vinyl or metal, complementing other room fabrics.
Combining Blinds with Other Treatments
Blinds can be utilized alone or combined with drapes, curtains, and valances. Alone, they give a modern, spacious look. Combined with fabric treatments, they soften a room’s appearance. This flexibility offers limitless possibilities for home decorators.
Decorating Ideas
Blinds enhance every room. In a traditional living room, light-colored Venetians with scalloped valances provide a cozy feel. A breakfast nook feels bright with woven rattan blinds, while bedrooms become private retreats with rich-hued miniblinds and floor-length curtains. In small bathrooms, lightly-colored Venetians offer both privacy and sunlight.
Blinds today are colorful, functional, and decorative, adding style and linear appeal when paired with other window dressings. They transform spaces from the sterile aesthetics of the past into vibrant, inviting homes.
