I currently have those roller blinds that you can see out of during day but no one can see in , but at night it reverses. I also have metal 25 mm Venetians but cant decide which looks best ? Any help welcome

I like the Venitians.

I prefer the first photo. Though I'm not a fan of Venetian blinds.

Keeping Venetian blinds clean is a nightmare IMHO

The first. Definitely not the Venetians.

Holmfirthrita · 11/02/2023 16:12

what other blinds might look good. I need to keep out the sun . Would verticals look any good ?

Do the first blinds keep out the sun? They look nice to me.

Holmfirthrita · 11/02/2023 16:36

Yes they do but sheer at night but they probrably look more modern. Are the Venetians not good!!!

Not verticals , they are awful and belong in offices . Could you get something like the first ones but with some colour in them .

Holmfirthrita · 11/02/2023 16:55

I also have these do you like?

I much prefer the sheer ones. You can draw the curtains at night. I don't like Venetian blinds in cosy spaces but you could perhaps get shutters ? Vertical blinds if I am to be absolutely truthful - for me - belong in an office ( but other opinions are available of course ) Just my two penny ' worth

devonianpricklypear · 11/02/2023 16:59

I like them all! Grey check are probably my least favourite however.

I really like the white (or maybe cream, can't quite gauge from the picture). Plus they look so cosy!

LibertyLily · 12/02/2023 00:24

The blinds in the first pic are definitely the best imho. I'm not a fan of venetians (or verticals) which are too office-y, not to mention difficult to keep clean!
