Comprised of horizontal wooden slats joined together with premium quality cotton known as tapes; Venetian blinds allow for the perfect combination of style and light control. Giving you the shutter look, at a fraction of the cost. 

White Wooden Venetian Blinds Are Versatile

The sheer versatility of Venetian blinds makes them a great option for any room. Perfect for shading your inside spaces from excessive sunlight, adding privacy, and maintaining ambient temperatures during the hotter months of the year.

Add Personality with White Wooden Venetian Blind

Venetian wooden blinds are a great jumping off point for your interior design ideas. They can be beautifully paired with pastels, resulting in a bright, fresh effect bringing an easy living feel to your indoor spaces. If you change your mind, white is a primary palette colour, so you can refresh whenever the mood strikes.

They’re Low Maintenance

Wooden Venetian blinds are incredibly easy to maintain. All you need to do is give them a wipe with a cloth every now and then to remove any dust build-up. We would advise avoiding placing wooden Venetian blinds in areas of high moisture to avoid warping the wood. In bathrooms and above sinks, we’d recommend a line of faux-wood venetian blinds.

Benefits of Real Wood Venetian Blinds

Real wood is a great choice for Venetian blinds. Wood offers a pure aesthetic, alongside a high degree of practicality. It’s an excellent insulator, helping you maintain energy efficiency by preventing heat loss through the windows.

A Great Way to Quickly ‘beautify’ your Home

Updating your blinds can instantly make a room feel completely different and easily beautify your home. Creating a perfect ambiance and contributing to a harmonious décor. You can even pair blinds and curtains for something a little different.

They’re stylish, affordable and durable and let’s face it, if it wasn’t for Venetian blinds, it would have been curtains for all of us!

Choose a Fancy Fabric

Can’t find window shades that match? Roman shades are perfect for dressing up your windows with a fun fabric that complements upholstery and pillows. There are also a lot of DIY tutorials online where you can make custom roman blinds yourself to fit your window and the fabric of your choice!

Layer Curtains and Blinds

Layering is a popular trend that is simple to master – keep the palette consistent in both window treatments. Using colors that blend together work well rather than contrasting colors that make your window look smaller. Any type of blind looks great under drapes to achieve a layered look.

Turn it Into a Reading Nook

Designer Tobi Fairley did wonders with this pop-out-window and used roman shades and curtains to turn it into a secret reading nook. Regardless of the view outside this window, who wouldn’t want to snuggle up and read a book here?

Double up Curtain Panels

Pairing sheer and opaque curtains together will make your windows look dramatic, romantic, and high class. Hang heavy opaque curtains on the outside and on the inside hang light, silky and sheer curtains. You’ll be amazed at how good your windows look!

Hang up Blinds that are Functional

Classic blinds that can be opened and closed are practical and functional. If you like having the option of having natural light stream into your room, but also like a little privacy, consider using aluminum venetian blinds like the ones from So Easy Blinds or wooden blinds to achieve this look.

  • Measure in millimetres (mm).
  • Always use a steel tape for measuring when you want accuracy.
  • The tape measure should always be tight and straight during the measuring.
  • Measure all windows, including those that appear to look alike in width and height.
  • Remember to include the stacking height, or the vertical space taken up by the headset of your chosen blinds.
