ABOUT AUSTRIAN BLINDS

There is something also functional about Austrian Blinds. Lke cafe-curtains, they can be extremely ornamentative but there is a functionality about them too.

Maybe in interior design, functionality and ornamentation is important, this kind of mix and match---

Back to creation of Austrian Blind. The track or batten is where the curtain hangs from. The width of the curtain must be enough for the whole window covering plus some inches at the sides. At the side too, .there must be a rope to allow vertical movement up and down. Lining for the curtain also helps in giving drape and richness to the curtain. In clothing, it is noted that sometimes lining is made larger than the outer garment but with the curtain, lining is the same size, length and width.

It is interesting too that the Austrian Blind aims to gather in the lengthwise direction as well as gathering horozontally. - The Austrian Blind has its vertical and lengthwise direction as it is a blind but there is also a horizontal direction.
