There are many types of window blinds to consider: vinyl, aluminum, faux wood (or textured vinyl) and wood. To help you pick the most appropriate type, think about what you want them to do from a practical standpoint: control the amount of light in the room and/or fit within a tight budget? It’s also good to think about whether you need to match the shape of a window or door, and how you want to impact the overall look of the room.
