Roman Blinds versus Venetian Blinds - Which is better?

Getting a window cover that sets everything well for your home can lead you to have an organized interior. Curtains can be regarded as just one simple fabric that covers your windows, but they can also be an added decoration to make your interiors look better and alive. Yet, when thinking about window covers, curtains can get too rowdy and just full of excess fabrics; how better can you treat that than using blinds for them?

Blinds are the most convenient way to cover your windows and have control over how much sunlight comes in. Apart from the usual curtains which you can only set from side to side and do not give you more authority to your window treatments, blinds can be an essential part in our home as it gives you easier access, convenience, and neatness when you want to move it up and down. This will also let you get the exact percentage of light you want inside, so you can always have that hassle-free window treatment you have always wanted.

However, not all blinds are the same. Aside from the style and the designs it covers, there are different variations of blinds that you can choose from; you can either go for Roman blinds or Venetian blinds. But how are they different from each other?

 

Venetian Blinds

Venetian blinds are window treatments that are mostly made out of wood, metal, or plastic. Wood Venetian Blinds are perfect for those interiors with a cozy effect, giving you a more naturalized look inside; Metal Venetian Blinds are great to be used in modern homes, as it gives a futuristic approach and sets the boldness in a window cover; while Plastic Venetian Blinds can be paired with almost anything, and it’s also sold at a cheap price in most home depots.

Venetian blinds also consist of horizontal flats that opens and closes together when you either pull their strings up and down. More so, they are very much applicable for areas with high moisture as it does not absorb humidity so you can just wipe the moisture and dust off. However, Venetian Blinds accumulate dust very often, and you might need to clean them from time to time.

Still, you can use them in kitchens and bathrooms, as they do not stain and odour when liquid splatters come in contact with them.
