Fabric blinds come in a wide variety of materials, including cotton, linen, hemp, sisal, wool and even silk. If you use these materials in your interiors, your living space will look softer, but they need special attention when it comes to cleaning.

Vertical blinds are the right choice for windows that are wider than they are tall. The blinds offer the most light control, which makes them a great choice for bedrooms, home theaters or living rooms.

Wood blinds are a classic design choice that will look, and function, beautifully in any space. This luxury does come at a premium price, however, and in climates with higher humidity, they are prone to warping.
