Horizontal Blinds

Horizontal blinds have slats that tilt up and down to control light, and they raise and lower vertically. Vertical blinds have slats that hang vertically and tilt side to side. Horizontal blinds work best for standard windows; vertical blinds are often used for sliding doors and wide openings.

Blinds have individual slats (horizontal or vertical) that tilt to control light. Shades are made from a single piece of fabric that raises and lowers. Blinds give you more precise light control by tilting the slats at different angles. Shades offer a softer, more streamlined look. Both work well — it just depends on the style and light control you’re looking for.
