Window Blinds – Better Alternative to Curtains
Blinds often referred to as window blinds, are exclusive variety of covers designed for the windows. These are usually made of slats of cloth, wood or metal. A window blind is operated through adjustment of the fabric, wood or metal, by rotating from an open position, to a closed position. This process is achieved by the slats which are permitted to overlap.
Uses of the metal window blinds
The metal window blinds have variety of uses. These are used as protection for the houses or offices, against burglary, extreme temperatures, bad weather, and also fire. The automobile blinds are used in rear or rear side windows of a car. They help protect the vehicle and also the persons traveling in the car from direct rays of the sunlight. The car window blinds are generally fitted with brackets, and are very convenient to install or remove.
Varieties of blinds
There are many varieties of window blinds available in the market. They are the Persian or the Slat blinds, the Venetian, the vertical and other varieties such as mini blinds, micro blinds, Holland blinds, pleated blinds and the honeycomb blinds. The most popular form of window blind is the slat blind. This variety consists of metallic or vinyl horizontal slats or strips. The slats can be rotated to up to 170 degrees and are connected with a string. These can be pulled up or down, either to allow or deny entry of outside light. The Venetian blinds have horizontal slats that slightly overlap each other. They are hung by tapes or cords, and the slats together rotate to about 180 degrees. Venetian blinds are usually made of plastic or metal, and sometimes wood. The next variety is the vertical blind, which is easier to operate than the horizontal blind. The vertical blinds are more durable and can withstand strong winds and resist dirt. These vertical blinds are generally made of thick plastic, and are used in homes or offices where, the doors are kept open.
The window blinds are used as a substitute for curtains. They usually are of the same dimensions as the windows, or are little wider and longer. Some of other varieties of window blinds are named as track blind, pleated shade, and roller blinds. Thus the blinds are important items both from the point of view of utility, as well as increasing the aesthetic appeal of a home or an office.

can I have two seperate colors for panel drapes?
I would like to buy 6 panel tab curtains, 3 off white, 3 light blue. and alternate them. Would this look okay?
Also, would it be okay if the fabrics where different(say satiny and cotton) or should I stick with the same type fabric for all of them?
Yes, this is a good and interesting idea but be aware of a few things;
your panels will not be sewn together so they will separate. Tab top panels (or any drapery that is rod run. i.e. with a pocket at the top edge) are not meant to be drawn and closed because they are difficult to reach and every time you move them, you have to dress the header so the gathers or tabs are equally spaced. So this is a look that is best if stationary. That said, the fact that these panels are not sewn together will not be so much of an issue. Just be sure that you have enough panels to cover the window so it doesn't look skimpy. A fullness of at least 2:1 is necessary and a 2 1/2:1 is preferable...that is two and one half times the width of the window in fullness.
Bold contrast always attracts your eye so be sure that this is an area of the room that can take a bold treatment and that the windows are the intended focal point of the room. Good luck!
