Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 May 07, 2009 7:46 pm I am looking at getting wooden venetians for our open plan living area - dining, kitchen and living. The windows are all of similar size and run across the house so have decided to stick to the same type of blind. We have dark wooden furniture, cream tiles and walls with a natural coloured kitchen reno planned. My problem is i can't decide to go with the dark mahogany colour or the western red ceader western-red-cedar-large.jpg mahogany-basswood.jpg your thoughts please Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: colour of my venetian blinds 2May 07, 2009 8:14 pm I think the darker ones would look nice as they would balance with the furniture and contrast with the walls and tiles. that's just my opinion though.

Re: colour of my venetian blinds 5May 09, 2009 8:42 am P.S. I found that my timber venetians never really 'blocked' entirely. They seemed to let in the cold/heat and a small amount of light, buthey do look wonderful I must say. I don't think I will have them in the new house even though I love the look of them. www.themaxbuild.blogspot.com forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=20717&start=300 www.leahspaperpassion.blogspot.com Re: colour of my venetian blinds 6May 09, 2009 9:22 am thanks guys! dark it is, i am off to order them this morning. oh, i love shopping for house stuff, so fun...
