Comparing Blinds to Find your Style
It’s easy to think that all blinds are essentially the same, but in truth, there are many nuances to modern blind design, and without understanding your options, it can be difficult to make an informed decision. Let our team of experts at Kao’s Pacific Interiors walk you through the choices for custom blinds, from soft vertical treatments to classic wood blinds, comparing the features and benefits to help you find the best style for your home.
Venetian Blinds vs. Vertical Blinds
The first design comparison to look at as you’re considering new blinds is vertical versus horizontal blinds. Horizontal blinds, also called Venetian blinds, have hard vanes that run horizontally and open by tilting the vanes up or down or drawing the entire shade up from the bottom of the window. Vertical blinds and vertical sheer blinds, on the other hand, might have been inspired by Venetian blinds, but they were designed to be different in 2 key ways: the orientation of vanes and the direction of movement. With vertical blinds, the vanes hang vertically from a top header, making them much more resistant to dust, and the treatment moves in a side-to-side motion with the vanes able to twist in unison to allow or block light.
Wood Blinds vs. Faux-wood Blinds
Wood blinds portray a classic style, and indeed, for centuries, wood was the primary building material for this type of window treatment. Wood blinds are refined and sophisticated in interior design and remain a durable, long-lasting choice for residential window coverings. Today, there are also faux-wood materials used in custom blinds that have their own unique benefits, though the style remains an homage to its natural predecessor. Faux-wood blinds by Hunter Douglas were designed to resist bowing, warping, or discoloration like fading or yellowing and come in over 50 color choices.
Traditional vs. Contemporary Vertical Treatments
There is also a plethora of design styles when it comes to vertical treatments, in fact, Hunter Douglas has 5 different types of vertical blinds alone, each with customizable attributes for seemingly limitless design possibilities. One of our favorite modern styles is Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds, which use fabric-wrapped vanes for light control instead of the hard, hanging slats on traditional vertical blinds. All vertical blinds traverse in a side-to-side motion, though only Skyline Panel-Track Blinds use a built-in track system that can also be fashioned into a room divider.
