Vertical or Horizontal Blinds – Which One Should You Choose?

Now that you have decided to get blinds for your windows, you may be torn between getting vertical or horizontal blinds.  Choosing between vertical and horizontal blinds for your windows goes beyond simple aesthetics.  You also need to consider what works best for your type of windows and what suits your needs best. To decide between vertical and horizontal blinds, Specialty Drapery suggests that you consider these three things:

1. The position of your windows – horizontal blinds are recommended for windows facing north or south, while vertical blinds are preferred for east- or west-facing windows;
2. The size of your windows – vertical blinds are great for large windows; and
3. Your concern for privacy – horizontal blinds are recommended if you want the utmost privacy.
