Features & benefits
Aluminium venetians
Aluminium venetian blinds create a sleek and contemporary aesthetic. Aluminium is non-toxic and long-lasting, lightweight, flexible, and corrosion resistant, making them an excellent material for window furnishings.
Wooden venetians
Bring natural warmth and richness to your space with our range of timber venetian blinds, available in a range of stained and painted finishes to match your decor. Choose a wider slat (50–60mm) to create a shutter-like aesthetic.
Faux-wood venetians
Looks and feels like real timber but made from 100% polyresin to provide a more rigid and durable blind, increasing their resistance to warping chipping and cracking. Ideal for high humidity areas, such as kitchens, bathrooms and laundries.
Inside or outside mount
Fitting your blinds inside the window frame offers the cleanest look, but your window recess needs to be deep enough. Fitting the blind outside and just above the frame is practical and flexible, suiting just about any window.

Frequently asked questions
Venetian blinds refer specifically to horizontal blinds with slats that can be tilted to control light and privacy. ‘Blinds’ is a broader term that encompasses various window coverings, including Venetian blinds.
The best type of Venetian blinds often depends on personal preference and the specific needs of the room. The most popular venetian blind is the PVC wood look followed by the wood venetian.
Venetian blinds can block out a significant amount of light when fully closed, but some light may still filter through the slats. For complete darkness, you may want to consider adding blackout curtains or choosing a blockout blind.
Curtains are not necessary with Venetian blinds, as Venetians can provide both privacy and light control on their own. However, adding curtains can enhance the aesthetic appeal and insulation of the room.
White and neutral tones tend to be the most popular choices for Venetian blinds, as they complement a wide range of interior styles and colour schemes.
