I have long narrow louvre windows in my bedroom and need to have either curtains or blinds. I like the idea of vertical blinds (may be out of style?) or plantation shutters but am not sure of options. Window covering will need to suit other smaller windows in the bedroom
It's a bit hard to see in the photos but due to the open blades protruding you will have to have a window covering that clears the window when they are open. Definitely get a professional. If you are in Victoria I could recommend Curtains Direct 03 9729 6222 I worked there for about 5 years and they are very good.
The type of blind or shutter you can use will depend on the rotation of your blades on the louvre windows and how far they protrude when open. A photo of the windows would help.
Vertical blinds are definitely out of date.
I would recommend getting a consultation with a professional blind & curtain company.
Thanks for our quick response. I think I will need to get professional advice. When fully open the blades and handle protrudes about 80mm from the wall. Not sure if the attached photo will show this. Thanks again
We have lots of louvre windows in our holiday house and we went with roller blinds. Just need to make sure that the blinds sit far enduring our so the louvres can open.
Please do not use vertical blinds. They are horrible and will ruin the look of your beautiful windows.
Something to consider with roller blinds- The blockout ones can really block the airflow in Summer, and if you do leave the louvres open, the slightest breeze will cause the bottom rod to bang against the window frame. You can fix them so they don't do this, but again you have the reduced airflow.....which is why you have louvres in the first place.
We have the same problem. My son's bedroom. He seems to have adjusted to no window coverings. Luckily we have no privacy issues.
Didn't think of that - thanks Mel. I may also look at external shutters that open and close at angles - this is my first post on Houzz and it great to have such a wealth of knowledge out there!!
