Black Venetian Blinds

Black Made to Measure Aluminium Blinds

Black aluminium blinds are a strong choice for anyone who wants a modern, clean look that works in living rooms, kitchens, offices, and commercial spaces. They control light well, withstand daily use, and keep their colour without fading. What makes them even more versatile is the range of black shades, slat sizes, and finishes available.

Shades of Black
Not all black blinds look the same. Different tones help match the style of a room.

Pure Black. A deep, solid black that suits bold, minimal interiors.
Soft Black. Slightly muted black for spaces that need a calmer, smoother tone.
Charcoal Black. Somewhere between black and dark grey, great for industrial and modern designs.
Graphite Black. A textured dark shade that adds subtle depth without looking harsh.

These variations make it easy to blend black aluminium blinds with metal fixtures, dark furniture, or lighter colour schemes that need contrast.

Slat Sizes
Aluminium blinds usually come in a few key slat widths. Each one filters light differently and affects how the room feels.

15 mm slats. Slim and neat. Good for small windows or a tight, refined look.
25 mm slats. The most common size. Great balance of light control, durability, and visibility.
35 mm slats. Wider slats that create a stronger statement and let in more light when tilted open.
50 mm slats. A bold, architectural look that works well on large windows and open spaces.

Choosing the right slat size depends on the window size, your privacy needs, and the amount of natural light you want.

Gloss and Matt finishes
Both gloss and matt black aluminium blinds are strong sellers, each bringing a different style.

Gloss Black. Shiny, reflective, and dramatic. This finish works well in kitchens, high-contrast interiors, and spaces where you want a crisp, polished look.
Matt Black. Smooth and understated. Ideal for modern, minimalist, or industrial rooms where the goal is a calm, clean finish without reflections.

Both finishes are easy to maintain and pair well with contemporary decor.

Why they are a popular choice
They resist moisture, hold their shape, and work in almost any room. They also match a wide range of interior styles, which makes them a strong choice for anyone in home decor, blinds retail, or interior design.

Benefits of Black Venetian Blinds

Black Venetian blinds combine style and practicality in almost any room. Their dark tone adds contrast and a clean modern frame around the window, while the tilt-controlled slats give strong light control and reliable privacy. They match easily with neutral schemes, bold colours, wood, and metal, and the aluminium or PVC slats stay straight, wipe clean fast, and resist warping and moisture. This makes them a long-lasting choice for kitchens, bathrooms, offices, and any space that needs depth and a sharp, confident finish.

How to Measure for Black Venetian Blinds

Measuring correctly ensures a perfect fit. The steps change depending on whether you want an inside or outside mount.

Inside the recess

This fit sits inside the window opening for a neat, built-in look.

Measure the width at the top, middle, and bottom of the recess. Use the smallest measurement.
Measure the drop in three places and use the shortest measurement.
Check the depth of the recess to make sure the blind and brackets will fit.
Confirm that the recess is clear of handles or tiles that could obstruct the blind.

Outside the recess

This fit covers the full window and is useful for shallow recesses or extra blackout.

Measure the exact width you want the blind to cover. Add a little extra on each side for better light control.
Measure the drop from where the blind will be fixed to where you want it to end.
Make sure there is room above the window for the brackets and headrail.

Always measure in millimetres for accuracy.

How to Operate Black Venetian Blinds

Venetian blinds are simple to use, and the controls vary slightly depending on the design.

Lift cord
Pull the cord to raise the blind. Tilt the cord to lock it in place at the height you want.

Cord or wand tilt
A wand or cord tilts the slats to control light and privacy.

Cordless lift
Some blinds lift and lower by gently guiding the bottom rail with your hand.

Safety tips
Make sure the cords are kept organised and fitted with a safety device. Confirm the blind can operate smoothly without hitting handles or other obstacles.
