This venetian blind is a very functional window furnishing. When it is pulled up, it sits unobtrusively at the top of the window opening making it particularly useful for small windows. When it is let down if falls in flowing slats which can be twisted to give as much or as little light or vision as required. The very neutral colouring is able to be used alone as a stylish modern window treatment or can be the hidden element of a window dressing that during the day can be kept up out of site, then at night dropped down, giving a secure and private feeling to the room enabling the more formal curtains to be left permanently dressed either in their curtain holdbacks or in elegantly arranged folds.
