    You can get verticals that open in the middle. That's where I put an ornament or a vase.

    But that means you have to have them open, at least slightly in the middle.

    Depends on the situation I suppose and whether you want or need privacy or screening all of the time.

    I live a pretty hermit-like existence and would only raise my blinds if Jonny Depp was rumoured to be outside :rotfl:

    I too have had both and much prefer wooden venetians; much more contemporary looking than the (sorry if I offend anyone) granny-type verticals. Granted, they do require more cleaning but this isn't excessive.
