Venetian blinds as we know them can be dated back to 1760. However, they became trendy only in the 1930s in New York, when aluminium Venetian blinds started to be produced and used to regulate air and light inside offices.Over the years, thanks to important advances in the production process, Venetian blinds have become increasingly popular to the point that now they are commonly used in houses and apartments as well as offices.Venetian blinds are a home accessory that can be adapted to the dimensions of any window and suit any style of decor.Designed from horizontal slats attached one above the other, they are kept in position and regulated through the use of cords and rods.The variety of Venetian blinds available on the market is so large that you will be sure to find the perfect model for your needs.
Advantages of Venetian Blinds
Aside from their objective beauty, Venetian blinds are also convenient. Venetian blinds offer you total control when it comes to regulating the lighting in your home, and they are very good for ensuring privacy.
- On a sunny day, by simply tilting the slats, you will be able to diffuse the light and reduce dazzle without blocking the light out. This will also protect your furniture and textiles from the damage that direct light can cause.
- On a cloudy day, you will be able to let in as much light as possible simply by adjusting the slats, without having to free the window of its dressing and completely lose your privacy.
If you are changing the decor of your home, or are making some renovations, you should certainly consider Venetian blinds as a solution for your windows.There are various types of blinds to choose from, with different characteristics depending on your needs: such as, the colour and materials of the blinds – like wood or aluminium, the control mechanism – manual or automatic, and even the dimensions of the slats.
