Blinds have become the window covering of choice for most homes/offices in recent times. This is because they are simple, quite functional and appear quite appealing for decor. Blinds often come in a wide range of colours, sizes and textures. The great advantage of most of these pieces is that they feature a cord, always located on one side, with which you can easily raise or lower the blinds. Then the rod, on the other hand, helps to control the tilt, allowing you to either open or close the slats.

Vertical Blinds 

Shoppers love these types of blinds because of their functionality and low-maintenance cleaning needs. The pieces come in a unique assortment of colours and textures. Their versatility means that you can pick from PVC, fabric or faux wood blinds.

If the light is too harsh, you can close the curtains to block the sun's rays and enhance privacy also.

Venetian blinds are so loved because they come with practical functionalities. They consist of horizontal slats that are attached with a string that functions as a control mechanism. When you raise the blinds, the bottom slat presses into the slat above. You can easily control them to allow the right amount of light, view and air coming into your room. These pieces are also easy to clean; a simple brush with a vacuum leaves them beautifully clean. They also come in a wide variety of colours and textures, which gives you lots of decor options.
