#TiltUp vs #TiltDown: Which Way Should You Tilt Your Venetian Blinds?
05/04/2016There are some things that none of us can agree on. What goes on the scone first: cream or jam? And is it pronounced scone or scone? We have another one for you: which way should you tilt your venetian blinds?
The way you tilt your venetian blinds can actually have a big impact on a room. Venetian blinds can help control light and heat, and give your home some extra privacy. When it comes to the big questions like which way you should tilt your venetian blinds, there’s no right or wrong answer. There are pros and cons to both choices.
Tilting your venetian blinds up:
- Gives you greater control of sunlight entering the room
- Can deflect heat upwards and help keep your room cool
- Provides more privacy, as it is difficult for people outside to see into your home
- Has a harsher, less attractive look
Tilting your venetian blinds down:
- Will let in more light through the gaps between the slats
- Can direct heat into the room, helping to keep the room warm
- Gives you less privacy
- Has a softer, more aesthetically pleasing look
