Also called Venetian or slatted blinds, consist of lateral slats connected together by strings or cords. These slats can be tilted open or closed to control light and privacy.
The slats are made from materials like wood, faux wood, aluminum, or vinyl, to give them a sleek and modern look that can complement various interior styles.
The slats of horizontal blinds are usually flat and rectangular, with widths ranging from narrow to wide, depending on the style and the amount of light control desired.
When the blinds are fully open, the slats stack neatly at the top to allow a clear view through the window. When closed, the slats overlap slightly, creating a smooth, continuous surface that blocks light and provides privacy.
