Are you considering Venetian blinds for your traditional home? You have excellent taste! Whether your traditional home is a Victorian townhouse, modern manor, country cottage or a stately home, there’s a style of Venetian for each.
At A1 Blinds we offer wooden, PVC, Faux Wood and Aluminium Venetian blinds for traditional (and modern) homes in the North East. Our range has something for every home, taste, and budget.
While considering all your options, it’s important to think about the overall look and feel that you want to create. This will influence the material, colour, and slat width that you choose.
Venetian blinds are timeless and traditional but lend themselves perfectly to the more modern takes on a period property. In this blog, we’ll guide you through our range of Venetians for traditional homes and our top tips for choosing the best style!
What Are the Benefits of Venetian Blinds?
Aside from the point that Venetian blinds for traditional homes are a perfect match aesthetically, there are many other reasons to love them!
Excellent levels of light and privacy control
A key reason Venetian blinds for traditional homes are a great choice is the amount of light and privacy control they provide. Older properties tend to have large windows, so light and privacy control are a top priority.
- They are easy to keep clean… Venetian blinds are innately easy to clean, requiring only a light dusting to keep them looking pristine! If set-in stains arise, a gentle wipe with a damp cloth should resolve the problem quickly.
- Perfect across the entire home… If you want all blinds in your home to be matching, Venetians are an ideal style to choose! There’s a style to suit every room in the home including moisture-resistant materials for bathrooms and kitchens.
- We have a huge range to choose from… When you think of Venetian blinds for traditional homes you might think of the typical wooden styles. However, all our Venetians will work and look equally as good. You’ll choose from a range of materials as well as finishes, colours, and textures too!
Wooden Venetian Blinds for Traditional Homes
Wooden Venetians are our go-to choice for classically styled properties. Their natural wood-coloured tones add depth, warmth, and character to any space while complementing practically any furniture and décor decisions.
This material is our most substantial of the three. Made up of solid wooden slats, wooden Venetians are hard wearing, durable, and guaranteed to stand the test of time. However, if it’s a bathroom or a kitchen window you’re dressing, we’d urge you to consider a PVC, faux wood or aluminium style. This is because the humidity levels in these rooms can cause real wooden blinds to warp.
At A1 Blinds our range of wooden Venetians offers something for every colour palette. You’ll have your pick of a wide range of warm natural colours, as well as a range of neutrals, including whites, greys, beiges and more!
PVC & Faux Wood Venetian Blinds for Traditional Homes
Equally suited, PVC and faux wood Venetian blinds are perfect for traditional homes. Mirroring the aesthetic of a real wooden blind, PVC and faux wood alternatives provide the same benefits for a lower price! Plus, these styles are ideal for bathrooms and kitchens.
These blinds come with a choice of stunning colours and finishes – there’s a design to suit every room.
Aluminium Venetian Blinds for Traditional Homes
If you’re looking to make more of a statement, then aluminium Venetian blinds for traditional homes are fabulous! They’ll still provide you with that all-important classic look, but the metallic or gloss finish will give them a bit of a funky edge!
Aluminium Venetians come in every colour. From black, silver, white and grey, to blue, pink, purple and red! This style has something for everyone!
What’s more, the aluminium material makes them work for every room across the home, no matter the humidity levels. So, if you’re looking for that coherent style around the house, these could be for you.
Which Other Blinds Work in Traditional Homes?
You can’t put just any blind up in a period property and expect the same impact. When styling a traditional home, it’s important to consider its characteristics and not stray too far from a classic design.
Sticking to a traditional theme, we recommend shutters or Roman blinds for traditional homes if Venetians aren’t for you.
Creating a similar look to Venetian blinds, shutters are a very popular choice within many traditional homes. They match Venetians for light and privacy control – and evoke the feel of the countryside.
Romans are different from Venetians but are equally suitable for the traditional style home. Made of soft plush, folding fabrics, Roman blinds provide an elegant window dressing to complement the classic period interior.
Hopefully, by now, you have a better idea about which blinds you fancy. Whether it’s shutters, Roman or Venetian blinds for your traditional home, A1 Blinds is on hand to help you decide!
