Venetian blinds

Horizontal slats you can tilt to angle the light exactly where you want it, or lift right out of the way. A classic that suits farmhouse and modern homes alike.

Venetian blinds fitted in a home

Wood, faux wood or aluminium

Each slat material has its own look and its own best rooms.

Wood Venetians

Natural timber slats in painted and stained finishes. Warm, textured and made for living areas and bedrooms.

Simuwood (faux wood)

The look of painted wood in a material that handles steam and humidity. Good for kitchens and bathrooms.

25 mm aluminium

Slim, light slats that sit neatly inside the window frame. Affordable, tough and easy to wipe clean.

35 mm aluminium

Wider aluminium slats for a bolder line and a clearer view when open.

Retro Venetians

Vintage-inspired aluminium Venetians in colours and finishes with a nod to the 1950s.

Where they work best

Studies and lounges

Wood slats give the room warmth and let you angle light off a screen.

Kitchens and bathrooms

Simuwood and aluminium will not warp in steam and wipe clean in seconds.

Bedrooms

Close the slats upward for privacy and a dim room, or lift the blind for full light.

From measuring to a neat install

In our customers' own words, from Google.

“From taking measurements, sending quotation and doing the installation. When the team arrived at our home they just knew what to do... The blinds looks great and it is making a big difference in “room temperature”.”

Venetian blinds: questions

Anything else? Ask us when we measure, or pop into the showroom.

Will wood Venetians warp in a bathroom?

Real wood does not like steam. For bathrooms and busy kitchens we recommend Simuwood or aluminium, which look similar and handle moisture.

How do I clean Venetian blinds?

Close the slats and dust them with a soft cloth or duster, then turn them the other way and repeat. Aluminium can be wiped with a damp cloth.

Can Venetians fit inside the window frame?

Yes, if the reveal is deep enough. We check this when we measure and suggest outside fitting where the reveal is too shallow.
