Verticals blinds are great for light control and ambience and there are a lot of fabrics to choose from.
Verticals are usually very cost effective but the mistake is most people buy verticals on price but if they open their minds to design for a small amount more you can add lovely finish to your room. Verticals can have a lot of maintenance issues but these are more about the quality purchased than the actual product. Verticals can also be noisy, but once again this is often about knowing what you can do to stop the noise.
