Window blind

A window blind is a specific type of window covering which is made with slats of fabric, wood, plastic or metal that adjust by rotating from an open position to a closed position by allowing slats to overlap. Metal window blinds are often used outside of the house or business to protect against theft, temperature, vision, bad weather and fire (in fire-prone areas). Often these blinds are machine-operated, rather than hand operated.
The horizontal version uses a thin woven "ladder" system to suspend the slats and enable slats to be closed via a rotating drum to which each upper end of the woven ladder is wrapped and attached. A lift cord allows the blind to be pulled up and stack tightly to top of window when desired.
The vertical version uses a generally wider slat and has the added feature of being able to pull a cord to stack the slats together either to one side or to separate in the center and stack on each end. This vertical blind allows rotation of slats by a rotating shaft in the upper head rail housing which runs through independent geared carriers that will convert twisting of tilt rail to a rotation of each individual slat in synchrony. The original vertical blinds were invented in Kansas City, Missouri, by Edward Bopp and Fredrick Bopp who held the original patent. The company name at the time was Sun Vertical. In the 1960s the patent and company was sold.
The term window blinds is also sometimes used, somewhat inaccurately, to describe window coverings generically—in this context window blinds include almost every type of window covering, i.e. shutters, roller blinds, roman blinds and of course, vertical and horizontal blinds.
In Britain awnings are also considered blinds. A blind limits observation and thus “blinds” the observer to the view. The main types are slat blinds which can be opened in two ways and solid blinds.
Solid blinds can only be raised or lowered and are sometimes called shades. There are types of blinds, such as Holland blinds and woven-wood blinds, where there are small spaces between the slats. In others such as pleated shades there are no spaces because the slats are sewn inside fabric.
Window blinds reduce the heat from sunlight. Ancient Egyptian pharaohs had blinds made of reeds. The most inexpensive blinds in the 1800s were home-made roller blinds, made of cloth.
Window blinds can be manually drawn using a cord, or automated through motorization. Controls for motorized blinds can be from a wall switch or keypad, remote control, or a personal computer, eliminating the need for cords and allowing control of otherwise inaccessible windows. A number of homes are integrating blind control with central CBUS solutions. This control provides ease of use, but is also effective to control blind operation to reduce heat loss during winter or heat effects during summer.

Make Rooms and Small Spaces Look Bigger

Most people have at least one room in their houses, which may be a little more. In fact, most people believe that some of these numbers are too small for the taste, they did not choose to decorate. If you try to establish a smaller area, not to squeeze in a few elements. Instead, try to do a job for you. They do not dominate the room, or lead the eye to the fact that the emphasis too many questions at once.
Subtle lighting will make a big impact immediately.
If you have fluorescent lighting, get rid of it. Opt for softer, less abrasive light. Affix lighting high on the wall instead of the ceiling. Choose lighting fixtures that are thin and sleek and steer clear of bulky piece. You’ll like the look they create.

Avoid “Attack of the Tsotchkes.”

  The more small boxes, picture frames, and candles you use, the more filled up a space looks. Place a few well-chosen items on a narrow shelving unit for maximum impact in minimum space.

 Your furniture should not overpower the area.

Choose shelving that leans against or mounts to the wall, or something that fits snuggly into the corner. You will save a lot of space that way. 

The art you choose can easily open up the room.

A lot of Starbucks coffee shops have done a stellar job of making their smaller locations look large by hanging black and white photographs surrounded by large white mattes in matte-colored frames. By hanging these in multiples against a darkly painted wall, you’ll create the illusion that the room stretches farther back. White and off white are great colors for creating space, so if you don’t want to paint the room white, go for white-matted sketches, photos, or simple designs instead. 

Hang draperies well above the window frame.

Choose drapes that hang all the way to or puddle on the floor. It will elongated your windows and make your ceiling appear higher. You’ll want to hang them about a foot higher than the top of your window, if you have the space for this. Even an outside-mounted wood blind or cellular shade mounted a foot about your window would do the trick.

Stick with a few colors.

If you were dead set on using multi-colored curtains and loud wallpaper, reconsider it. It’s difficult to get the best of both worlds. While you might love paisley wallpaper, save it for a room a larger room. Choose neutrals, then add a pop of blue or green by tossing in some throw pillows, or some upholstered chairs.

Really utilize mirrors!

Mirrored lamps, mirrored furniture, a mirror on the wall. They will make the room appear up to twice the size. 

Really plan out your project. Trying to pack as much as you can into every inch of an area will only cause you grief. Write out the few pieces you must have, or the design elements you really want to incorporate, then work to make sure all other rules to make the room look larger are followed. If you absolutely have to wallpaper your small room in paisley, stick to all neutral furniture, white chairs, white-matted artwork, sheer white draperies, and fall in love with your home all over again.
