Types of Blinds - Austrian Blinds

Austrian Blinds are like Roman, as they move up and down with cords and rings, but they have a gathered heading and use a vertical shirring which transforms the folds into soft scallops.

How to Make Blinds

Balloon and Cloud Blinds

It is raised and lowered by cords threaded through rings at the back. When raised these billow into scallops along the bottom edge of the blind, a balloon blind has inverted pleats at wide spacings from top to bottom and a cloud blind has a gathered heading.

Tailed blinds happen when the cords and rings are not installed to the side edges, therefore the bottom corners hang down below the scallops.
