Venetian window blinds are a versatile and practical option. At A1 we’ve seen demand grow tenfold for Venetian window blinds over the last few years, and it’s easy to see why! Not only do Venetian window blinds offer great practicality, but they’re beautifully modern too.
So, what is a Venetian window blind?
A perfect blend of style and substance! Venetian window blinds are made up of horizontal slats that are hung together by either tapes or cords (depending on your preference).
This suspension method allows the slats to rotate up to 180 degrees, or be pulled up fully to enable maximum daylight. This is what provides that great privacy and light control that Venetian window blinds are known and loved for.
Venetian window blinds come in a wide range of colours, finishes and textures. Choose from cloth tapes or cords, full colour or multi-colour, smooth or textured! All of which are available across three material options: aluminium, wood and faux wood. The material type you choose will depend largely on your room. But we’ll get into that shortly!
Wooden Venetian Window Blinds
Bring the outside in with real wooden Venetian window blinds. Always a desirable choice, wooden Venetian’s offer a timeless window dressing that will work with any décor!
They’re a solid, modern investment. Our wooden Venetian window blinds are made of the highest quality hardwood and are suitable for almost any room. We say almost because our real wooden Venetian window blinds are not always quite right for the kitchen or bathroom as the humidity may cause them to distort over time.
For spaces like this where you’d like that wood effect, but moisture is regularly present, A1 recommend opting for faux wood/PVC Venetian window blinds…
Faux Wood Venetian Window Blinds
Faux wood Venetian window blinds strike the perfect balance between beauty and practicality. They’re also a great low-cost choice in comparison to their real wood alternative!
Our faux wood Venetian window blinds range offers smooth or textured finishes depending on the look you’re going for. Shades of white, cream and grey are a timeless choice across real and faux wood Venetian window blinds. While our bare wood finishes provide a classic feel. Perfect for those traditional homes with gorgeous wooden features.
A1 have dozens of styles to choose from when it comes to wood and faux wood Venetian window blinds, the choice is yours to make! But if you’d like any guidance on our wooden Venetian range, feel free to give us a call: 0800 193 0417.
Aluminium Venetian Window Blinds
Our aluminium Venetian window blinds are sure to make a statement at any window. Made to your unique specification, at A1 we use only the highest quality aluminium to produce the very best aluminium Venetian’s in the North East.
This range will have you spoilt for choice when it comes to colours and finishes. With bright effervescent tones, glorious sparkles, metallics, neutrals and textures, our aluminium Venetian blinds bring a pop of personality to your space!

Venetian Window Blinds for Fantastic Light and Privacy Control
The light and privacy control offered by Venetian window blinds are unmatched.
You have complete control over the angle of the slats; meaning you can let as much or as little light in as you wish. Tilting them will also affect how passer’s-by can see into your window too! Of course, you can also open your Venetian’s completely when taking full advantage of a gorgeous view or a sunny day!
Operated by the pull of a cord, Venetian blinds provide many options when it comes to controlling your privacy and the light in your home. If you’d like to see some in action, visit one of our showrooms!
How To Clean Your Venetian Window Blinds
Venetian window blinds are a breeze to keep clean, no matter which finish you go for. Their smooth texture means that an occasional light dusting is all they require.
At A1 we recommend using a feather duster or a handheld vacuum to eliminate any settled dust, quickly and easily. And if necessary, you can wipe them gently with a dampened cloth. But of course, be sure to only use minimal water when cleaning your real wooden Venetian window blinds!
