John Lewis blinds are pretty good and offer various widths, which is helpful

Very cheap made-to-measure here, and really good quality. Have their venetian blinds at home and they are fab

ikea has nice venetian blinds which are good quality and look good too, not made of plastic, actually real wooden slats unlike other cheaper versions.

We have Venetian blinds and they are very smart and have lasted 12 years plus!!

If being overlooked is the problem you can use a bottom up blind to create privacy in the bottom part of your window and allow light in over the top. I've got some in my living room and they look great! You'll find them here -
