The most popular type of blind today - 55% of all blinds are verticals! Be outrageous and put 3 different colours of a nice suede material (or similar) on one rail and stand back and admire! If you have got kids have a wand control at no extra charge to avoid chains. Don't forget PVC vertical blinds, easy to maintain and very stylish. If you have got a bay window a curved vertical blind is probably the cheapest way to shade it.
