Window Blinds

When looking to shield the indoor home from bright light, window blinds provide decorative alternatives to curtains and are somewhat more versatile—slat blinds (composed of thin horizontal slats) can be opened without being entirely lifted to the ceiling, and track blinds (usually consisting of wider panels that hang vertically) can also be opened to let in as much or as little light as desired without pulling the blinds all the way to the side and out of use.

Fast Facts

1. Motorized blinds are available that drastically cut down the hassle and potential entanglement of manual blinds
2. Window shades operate like blinds but are usually one piece of material that folds up
3. Most slats are made of vinyl or very thin metal
