Venetian blinds
About venetian blinds
Venetian blinds give the finest control of light of any blind: tilt the slats and you choose how much comes in and from where. We fit them in real wood, faux wood and aluminium, with tapes or plain cords, and a wand to tilt them.
What comes with it
- Measure and slat samples at home
- Real wood, faux wood and aluminium
- 25, 35 and 50mm slats
- Decorative tapes if you want them
- Child-safety devices on every cord or chain, fitted before we leave
- Recess or face fit
Best rooms for them
Studies, kitchens and street-facing rooms where you want light without being seen, and bathrooms in faux wood.
Looking after them
Close the slats and wipe with a dry cloth or duster. Never soak real wood.

How venetian blinds are fitted
The same three stages for every window, with one fitter from the measure to the last check.
1. See the slats
We bring wood and aluminium samples so you can match floors, frames and paint.
2. Made to measure
Width and drop are made to the millimetre, with the headrail sized to your recess.
3. Fitted and set
We fit, level and check every slat tilts and stacks evenly.

Venetian blinds: your questions
Wood or faux wood?
Real wood is lighter and warmer to the eye. Faux wood looks much the same and copes far better with steam, so we suggest it for kitchens and bathrooms.
Are Venetian blinds easy to clean?
Close the slats and wipe them with a dry cloth or a duster. Wood should never be soaked.
Will a wide wooden blind be heavy to lift?
Very wide wooden blinds are heavy, so we may suggest two blinds side by side, or a lighter faux wood.
