The clean crisp lines of a Venetian blind are particularly suited to small windows as the fine metal blades stack tightly together when the blinds are open, giving the optimal amount of light possible during the day. If the blinds are used during the day for the control of sunlight perhaps in a busy commercial setting or for privacy, maybe a doctors surgery, then the white colour of this blind will allow as much light in as possible even with the blades tilted as white reflects light. When the blind is closed at night, it gives a snug, secure feeling as the blades neatly fit on top of each other making it impossible to see through, unlike a light weight pair of curtains where a silhouette may been seen from the outside.
