Edward & Fredrick Bopp created the first Vertical blind in 1950. The two started their company ‘Sun Vertical’ and patented their blinds in 1960. Eventually, they sold off their company and patent in the same year, with their influence continuing today.
In the 1970s, there were limited options in fabrics and colours. Blind fabrics were turned stiff in the processing stage to prevent fraying with a beige and white colouring used. Now, premium and affordable window blinds have been through many technological developments. Vertical blinds are a modern alternative to drapes and horizontal blinds.
Vertical blinds feature slats that run top to bottom versus left to right like other blinds. They provide maximum control over light and privacy with low maintenance. They operate better on sliding doors and large windows which glide from side to side. Vertical blinds are a typical but elegant choice of blinds, being easy to use and find in stores.
Vertical blinds are useful for light and shade control since their early days. Verticals give you the freedom to handle how much light you desire in your room. You can sleep better by protecting your eyes from glare from streetlights and protecting your furniture or valuables from ultraviolet rays. They also provide privacy from their slats and allow you to adjust the amount of sunlight let in throughout the day.
Vertical blinds let homeowners maintain their blinds for longer than other conventual blinds. Vertical blinds are easy to clean with a cloth and can even be washing machine-friendly in some cases. Due to their design, they can be separated and swapped out for a unique look. Enjoy in either Christmas red or why not turn your blinds to the rainbow!
Vertical blinds provide long-term purposes at a low cost. They are recognised globally and provide an elegant look in any home or office. Vertical blinds are good alternatives to curtains for their lower price point. They are accessible to be purchased nationwide and easy to fit!
Verticals are versatile as they fit well. They can suit any window in any room in your home, bringing a joyful or smart aesthetics. Kid’s rooms, bathrooms, bedrooms, offices or even kitchens are ideal for vertical blinds. With various fabrics, you can go bright or dark for a better sleep. The options are endless for vertical blinds!
Verticals are great and have been with us since the early 1950s. They have grown in style and practicality and are one of the most in demand blinds today. They can be found in millions of homes today and will be a part of history! Look at our website to find the Vertical blind for you!
Yellow is associated with happiness, warmth, and mental clarity. It’s an energising shade that works wonders in kitchens or creative spaces.
Blue is calming and stabilising, making it ideal for bedrooms, bathrooms, or anywhere you want to unwind.
Green represents nature, growth, and balance. It’s shown to reduce stress and promote a sense of harmony — great for lounges or home offices.
Red stimulates energy and passion. A little goes a long way — perfect for accents in dining rooms or hallways.
Purple has long been linked to creativity and imagination, making it a great feature colour for bedrooms or reading nooks.
Interior designers also back this up: “The colours we surround ourselves with can have a profound effect on how we feel,” says interiors expert Karen Haller, author of The Little Book of Colour.
Room-by-Room Colour Inspiration
Want to boost your home’s feel-good factor? Here’s how to bring colour into every corner of your home:
Bedroom – Choose muted tones like dusty blue, soft lavender or sage green to promote rest and relaxation. Roman or roller blinds in these shades can soften morning light and set a calm tone for your day.
Living Room – This is your social hub, so introduce warm, welcoming tones like ochre, terracotta, or moss green. Vertical blinds or curtains in textured fabrics can add depth while introducing colour.
Kitchen – Uplift your energy with fresh colours like lemon yellow, mint green or vibrant coral. Try a bold roller blind to add instant personality without a full renovation.
Bathroom– Create a calming, spa-like atmosphere with soft blues, greens, or gentle greys. These soothing tones help you unwind and bring a fresh, airy feel to smaller spaces. Moisture-resistant roller blinds in these hues offer both privacy and serenity while standing up to humidity.
Commercial Spaces – Colour isn’t just for the home. We can help you bring the same energy and mood-boosting benefits into your commercial setting too. Whether it’s calming tones for a clinic, uplifting colours for a classroom, or modern hues for an office, our made-to-measure blinds can enhance productivity, atmosphere, and brand personality in any workspace.
Decorating With Colour – Without the Overwhelm
You don’t need to redecorate your whole home to feel the benefits of colour. Start small:
Swap neutral blinds for colourful alternatives.
Add cushions, artwork or rugs in your chosen palette.
Try a statement blind in a bold pattern as a design feature.
The key is to choose colours that make you feel good — not just what’s trending.
