Should You Choose Vertical or Horizontal Blinds

When narrowing down your search for window treatments, one of the most important decisions for your windows is deciding if you should choose vertical or horizontal blinds. Each home will be different, and each room will have specific needs based on many factors. By understanding how those factors interact with each variant of blinds, you can make a more informed decision. Hunter Douglas has excellent collections of both vertical blinds and horizontal blinds, each of which can work excellently for various homes.

Horizontal Blinds

Horizontal blinds tend to be a given when it comes to smaller and narrower windows, but they can sometimes work for larger windows as well. If you want to let in the view from outside and see it from all angles in a room while still getting shade, then horizontal blinds will allow you to do that. The Innovative and easy-to-use operating systems made by Hunter Douglas will help you use them on larger windows as well.

Parkland wood blinds are a great solution for optimal shade and privacy when you need them while bringing the look of natural hardwood into your home. You can show off the natural wood with various stain colors or choose a solid color to match your room. You can choose from three slat sizes for additional customization.

The Everwood Alternative wood blinds are convincing enough to look like natural hardwood with the TruGrain finish options but are made of modern materials that can withstand hot and humid climates. These horizontal blinds are perfect for achieving UV protection while adding a sophisticated look to your home.

The Modern Precious Metals Aluminum Blinds give your windows a sleek and clean look while offering durable light control. You can customize these horizontal blinds with different textures, hues, and colors for a look that matches any room.

Vertical Blinds

Vertical blinds won’t work for your small and narrow windows, but they are ideal for large windows and sliding glass doors. They work especially well in living rooms since they offer easy light control and a similar aesthetic to drapery.

The Skyline Gliding Window panels are a unique take on panel track blinds, bringing a special twist to vertical blinds. The fabric panels are perfect for big windows with lots of direct sunlight, blocking light with ease with higher opacity fabrics and giving your room a dramatic glow with lower opacity fabrics. The panels stack tightly, allowing you to get as much of your view as possible.

Cadence Vertical blinds are a soft and elegant set of traditional blinds that mimic the look of drapes on larger windows. The curved structure allows you to let in a gentle glow light without letting in the full harshness of the sun.

The Somner Collection of vertical blinds gives you ultimate freedom of choice over how you want to customize your blinds, with numerous colors, patterns, and materials available.

The Vertical solutions collection offers a variety of design elements for vertical blinds at a price affordable for any home.
