AUSTRIAN BLINDS

THESE WERE NOTES I WROTE MYSELF ON AUSTRIAN BLINDS:

Austrian blinds are a combination of curtains and blinds. Blinds are not generally suitable for large window areas e..g French windows and you might say that with Austrian blinds it is the same. You could say that Austrian blinds are window -dressing styles but when should you use them.
Austrian blinds are noticeable because of their drape, the way they hang ; You could say that they are not ‘pleated’ curtains. You could say that they stand out because they are not pleated curtains. Indeed in some way you can distinguish between window dressings which don’t involve pleats and those window dressings that do. And Austrian blinds belong to the former category. Austrian blinds then are window dressing styles but they are also fabric constructions for the window area.
Austrian blinds are fabric constructions with real hang and style; They have characteristics of a curtain mainly because they are made of fabric and they have scallops and drape and frills that are characteristic of curtains. They are blinds too in that they are controlled through vertical line; their movement is up and down.
A disadvantage of Austrian blinds is that they may hinder the view. Because they are so dressy, the view from the window is hindered and that is the general disadvantage of blinds in general. It is worthwhile analysing whether they hinder the view from windows in a scientific if that is possible. But what are blinds? I think one of the main functions of blinds is to control light in the room.
Window design is an important interior design element and Austrian blinds are certainly a part of this area. Austrian blinds can bring color and style to the window area of the room. Look at the hang and drape and they can add; ‘that drapy fashion style’ to your interior.
