The Ultimate Guide to Vertical Blinds: Style, Function, and Best Option for Your Home

Vertical blinds have been designed with functional and aesthetic qualities, making them one of the most popular types of window coverings used in many homes. Vertical blinds are a great answer, whether for a cozy living room, outfitting a home office, or covering large sliding patio doors.

What Are Vertical Blinds?

Vertical blinds are a kind of window covering made up of vertical slats that are suspended from a headrail. Slats can be made of a variety of materials, including fabric, PVC, or wood. The slats themselves are adjustable, so you can tilt them to let in as little or as much light as needed or pull them to one side to expose the window entirely.

Just like horizontal blinds, vertical blinds are used to keep out light. They are best for large windows, sliding doors, and other areas resembling a vertical shape. Their design allows them to run over large areas with ease, making them a rugged yet functional solution for almost any space.
