vertical blinds - nice or nasty?

I think verticals are more practical than venetian ones. They don't need dusting or cleaning like venetian ones do, and my dogs can push their heads through without them getting stuck

Vertical blinds are horrid, don't go there!

All personal preference isn't it?

Got venetian/vertical/roller/bamboo/roller and roman in different rooms. Must get those curtains put back up in the living room too!...


...have to say I don't have any nets though...

I think vertical blinds are horrid. I quite like roller blinds and if you use very fine plain 'lace' curtains they too can look really nice. They don't always have to be snowy white either, a creamy white it some rooms work very well depending on your colours. + They're very much cheaper to dress a room than either type of blind if you're selling.

I have vertical at my sitting room and dining room windows and venetian in the bedrooms.
I would love voils or nets but the sitting room gets the sun from mid-day and in the summer and the blinds are closed from then as I don't like closing curtains during the day.
I had venetian blinds in the sitting and dining room but hated cleaning them as I have large windows.

I have vertical blinds in my kitchen , windows and patio doors.. I have them completely pulled back in the daytime but they are fantastic insulators , in the summer they can keep the sun from making the room too hot and in winter I pull them over at dusk and they keep the room warm.. they are heat reflecting , couldn't have material curtains in the kitchen as they would get very YUKKY......

Venetian blinds are a !!!!!! to clean........... mine I can wash a few at a time in the sink then just drip dry them and put back up.... I have only had to wash them once in 3 yrs....

I think you can find some nice vertical blinds if you look around. Or you can get a different type. I can advise you to visit a web shop where I got my blinds - it's https://www.rolo-europa.co.uk I found some very nice ones there.
