What it brings to a room
Light, in the angle of the slats
A venetian blind is made of horizontal slats that steer the light as you change their angle. Tilt them slightly and daylight is thrown up onto the ceiling; you keep your view out while the room stays hidden from passers-by. Close them fully and the window is covered; draw the blind up and the glass is clear.
- Fine-tunes the light by the angle of the slats
- Flexibility for rooms where you work at a screen

Details and FAQs
Wood or metal
Wooden venetians bring warmth with the natural grain of their slats and suit studies, living rooms and the wall beside a bookcase. Metal slats are finer and lighter and take damp and frequent cleaning more easily, which is why they come into their own in kitchens and bathrooms. We choose the slat colour and width with you, to suit your window frames and the tones of the room.
Where it works
A venetian blind is most useful where the light changes often through the day: a sunny study, hours in front of a screen, windows facing the street. It works on its own in offices and homes, or with a drape beside it for a softer look. Because it can be fitted inside the window recess or above the window, it adapts easily to different frames.
Cloth tapes
The slats hang either on fine cords or on cloth tapes. A cloth tape gives the blind a softer, more finished look; you can choose it in the slats' own tone, or in a contrasting one like the black tapes in the photographs. A corded blind looks plainer and lighter.
Measuring, fitting and guarantee
A venetian blind works to the millimetre, so we take the measurements in your room ourselves. The blind is made to your size and orders are ready within 3–8 working days. Our own team fits it. Like every product we make, our venetian blinds carry a 3-year guarantee, and our care support goes on after delivery.

Frequently asked questions
How do I clean a venetian blind?
Dusting the slats regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a duster is enough. Metal slats can be wiped with a slightly damp cloth; wooden slats should be kept away from water.
Can wooden venetians go in a kitchen or bathroom?
Wood can be affected by damp and steam. In bathrooms, and at kitchen windows very close to the hob or the sink, we recommend metal slats. Where there is little steam, at a window above the worktop for instance, wood can be used too. We decide together which suits once we have seen your window.
Should I choose a venetian or a roller blind?
If you want to adjust the light through the day by angle, a venetian is more flexible. If you want a plain, single surface of fabric or full blackout, a roller blind may suit you better. Once we have seen your window and how the room is used, we decide together which is right.
Does a venetian go inside the window recess or above it?
Both are possible. If the recess is deep enough, a blind fitted inside it looks neater; if not, or if you want the whole window covered, it is fitted above. We decide which suits when we measure.
How do we choose a blind's colour?
We choose the slat colour and width with you, to suit your window frames, the floor and the tones of the room. White slats reflect the light and make a room feel airy; dark slats set the window off like a frame. We can bring samples with us when we come to measure.
What is the difference between a taped blind and a corded one?
In both, the slats turn and gather the same way; the difference is in the look. In a corded blind fine cords carry the slats, and the blind looks plainer. In a taped blind the tapes run as vertical lines across the slats, giving a softer, more finished look, and their colour can follow the slats or the room.
