Home Interior Decorating Window Treatments Using Blinds

Types of Blinds

Micro - Mini Blinds

They are also known as Slimline blinds, they are the same as mini blinds but have an even smaller width and are finer to look through, being ideal for maintaining a view. They are very delicate and easy to bend and twist which is a downfall.

Cottage Blind

A cottage blind is a half-length blind, which blocks a view or creates privacy, usually used in a bathroom. It can be mounted on curtain wire or a curtain rod as they cover the lower half of the window. They are often co-coordinated with a small valance at the top of the window.

Pinoleum Blinds

Pinoleum blinds are made form matchstick like slats of wood. They can be stained or left natural.


Pinoleum blinds are woven together with cotton.
Pinoleum blinds have the same spring mechanism as roller blinds. You can see through them, and they allow a soft light to filter through.
They are a very cheap way to cover large expanses of glass. They can be fixed to sloping ceilings.
