Venetian blinds are made of metal and have two-inch horizontal slats that can tilt or go up and down. The venetian blind name has become generic over the last few years to include any product that does this including mini blinds and faux wood blinds.
The true venetian blinds are dated back from the 1940’s. You often still see them in courthouses and old schools. Venetian blinds often include fabric one-inch tapes that go down the front and back of the blind. There are hundreds of colors to choose from.
True venetian blinds are not as popular in today’s market because faux wood and real wood horizontal blinds have replaced them. They are much more energy efficient and around the same cost. If you are looking for that retro look, then venetian blinds could be the thing for you.
