For a clean, classic look with tiltability for control of light, timber blinds are a lovely piece of design. 

As with the venetian blind the timber blind offers light and heat control by simply opening, tilting and closing the horizontal blades.

Composite blinds are also available - with the look of timber blinds but in pvc, they are the perfect answer for wet areas and wider windows as they are resistant to moisture and heat and will remain straight across larger spans.
