What Are Venetian Blinds?

Venetian blinds can be made from many materials, but they will always have a few things in common. For example, they will always be horizontal slats that you can control to filter in and out however much light you prefer. This allows for more dialed-in control of light. If you want much light, you can pivot the controls so the blinds are open. Alternatively, if you don't want any light to seep through, you can completely close your Venetian blinds and block out the disturbance.

If you want your window completely clear, you can lift the blinds to the very top of your window. These window treatments allow you to control how much privacy you want and how much light will seep into the room. One major benefit of these blinds is that they are easy to operate and set the standard for most window treatments. All you need to do is pull a string to adjust the blinds or lift the blinds entirely up or down. You can use two different strings to adjust your blinds to sit perfectly on your window.

Why Are They Called Venetian Blinds?

People call these window treatments Venetian blinds because it's similar to standard blinds, but they originate from Italy. The plastic version of these blinds is typically the economical choice you can find anywhere you go, especially if you're staying in an apartment. These original blinds replace fabric curtains and shutters when they hit the market.

You'll usually find these blinds in plastic, but if you're looking for something else, say wood or faux wood,  you can find them here. The thin wood of these window treatments can give your interior a beautiful design that will impress your company.
