Faux wood, natural wood & aluminium Venetians
Venetian blinds use horizontal slats that tilt for light and privacy, then lift together to open the view. Compare faux wood, natural wood and aluminium to find the finish that suits your room.
Made around the opening
The material affects how the blind looks, feels and suits the room. We also check slat width, the space needed when raised and where the controls will be easiest to reach.
Choose the material
These are our two principal Venetian collections. Faux wood prioritises durability and moisture resistance; natural timber prioritises warmth and individuality. A slimmer aluminium range is available where the room calls for it.
The practical favourite: durable PVC slats with convincing smooth and wood-grain finishes. Moisture resistance makes faux wood especially useful in kitchens, bathrooms and busy family rooms.
Real wood brings warmth, individuality and natural grain to the window. Painted tones, stains, printed grains, bamboo and a contemporary gloss option create a more furniture-like finish.

On-screen colour and texture are indicative only. Timber grain naturally varies, and final choices should be confirmed against current physical samples before ordering.
Ashen · 50mm aluminiumAlso in the collection
Aluminium Venetians are a lighter, more streamlined alternative to the timber-look ranges. Their crisp slats suit contemporary interiors, practical workspaces and windows where a finer proportion feels more appropriate.
It is not our most frequently selected Venetian range, so we recommend viewing the current aluminium samples during consultation rather than presenting every colour online.

Serene · Cotton tapesSlats, tapes and finishing details
Slat scale changes how the blind feels at the window. Decorative tapes can be tonal and quiet or intentionally contrasting, adding a softer, more furniture-like rhythm.
Manual or motorised
Manual controls are simple and dependable. For harder-to-reach windows or a cleaner connected-home routine, selected Venetian configurations can be motorised.
Raise, lower and tilt the blind using the control arrangement agreed for the window.
Available on selected faux-wood and natural-wood blinds, with battery or mains options depending on specification.
Selected natural-wood configurations can add motorised lifting as well as tilt, subject to size and system limits.

Choosing with confidence
Faux wood is our most popular practical choice; natural wood brings authentic grain and warmth; aluminium gives a slimmer, lightweight contemporary finish.
Choose 35mm for a finer rhythm or 50mm for a calmer, more open view. Window scale, depth and blind weight all influence the recommendation.
Browse the full supplied range online, then confirm the colour against a physical sample in the room before ordering.
Coordinate or contrast the decorative tapes, then agree the control side and whether manual or selected motorised operation is appropriate.

Explore all questions & answersFaux wood is our most popular Venetian range. It gives a convincing painted or wood-grain look, is easy to maintain and is more suitable than natural timber for kitchens, bathrooms and other moisture-prone rooms.
Find this answer in the FAQ hubYes. We supply aluminium Venetians in slimmer 16mm and 25mm slats, with selected 35mm and 50mm options also available. They offer a crisp, lightweight alternative to faux wood and natural timber, with matt, gloss, metallic and selected perforated finishes depending on the collection.
Find this answer in the FAQ hubYes. The finish explorer on this page shows the supplied faux-wood and natural-wood finishes as both a selectable colour and a complete blind. Screens reproduce colour differently, so the final choice should still be confirmed against a current physical sample.
Find this answer in the FAQ hubA 35mm slat creates a finer, more detailed rhythm. A 50mm slat feels calmer and can reveal more of the view when tilted open. We consider the scale and depth of the window before recommending one.
Find this answer in the FAQ hubFaux wood is moisture resistant and generally the better timber-look choice for bathrooms, kitchens and wetrooms. The room should still be well ventilated, and we will assess the window and likely moisture exposure before confirming suitability.
Find this answer in the FAQ hubNatural timber is not normally recommended for high-moisture bathrooms or wetrooms because changing humidity can affect the material. Faux wood or aluminium is generally the safer choice in those rooms.
Find this answer in the FAQ hubNo. Closing the slats reduces light and improves privacy, but light can remain around the blind, through cord routes and between slats. For stronger room darkening, we can compare blackout rollers, cellular blinds or layered treatments.
Find this answer in the FAQ hubSelected faux-wood blinds can be motorised for tilt. Natural-wood ranges have selected tilt-only and tilt-and-lift systems. Availability depends on blind size, slat choice, tapes, power supply and the required control system.
Find this answer in the FAQ hubYes. The supplied wood and faux-wood collections include 24 tape colours across herringbone and flatweave styles. Width and compatibility depend on the selected slat size and material.
