Window blinds can enhance a room’s look and give you the ability to control how much natural light filters through. These window treatments can also add more privacy in your home. Here are three different option that offer unique qualities.
Horizontal Blinds
Horizontal blinds come in a variety of types, with the most popular one being the Venetian blind. Venetian blinds are typically made of metal, plastic, or wood, and have their slats stacked one above each other. You can rotate these blinds up to 180 degrees, depending on the degree of light you want to enter the room. These are generally multi-purpose blinds and can be used anywhere in the house. If you plan on using blinds in the bathroom or areas that are general wet, opt for metal or plastic as wood can warp.
Vertical blinds
Also known as track blinds, vertical blinds are made with hanging slats that are connected together using cords. Because their slats are vertical, they don’t collect as much dust compared to horizontal blinds. You’ll often see these on sliding doors and large doors. They are typically made from stiffened plastic, aluminum, cellular screen, fabric, and faux wood, among others.
Shutters
Shutters have an iconic look that adds a lot of character. You’ll often find these in the kitchen or the living room, or places that require a lot of light. Not only are they easy to clean, but they’re also great for children. You won’t have to worry about them getting tangled in cords when they play near the window.
These are just some of the window blinds available on the market today. Consult with a window treatment professional who can give suggestions on the best one for your needs.
