- Material: The material and thickness of the blinds can affect their overall insulation properties.
- Aluminum: The most common and traditional material for mini blinds, offering a sleek, modern look with various colors and finishes.
- Wood: Offers a more natural, elegant appearance, ideal for classic or warm interior designs.

Mini Blinds: The Perfect Functional Window Treatment for Custom NYC Designs
“Functionality” is pretty much the best word to describe mini blinds. They’re made for a specific job, and they do it well. However, as efficient as they are at dimming and blocking light, mini blinds don’t tend to make a design statement. That’s OK because minis are the ideal custom NYC window treatments for pairing with other items such as valances and curtains. Those window treatments can handle the task of accenting your interior design while leaving window covering up to the blinds. Also, because Alluring Window offers you a wide range of colors for the vinyl or aluminum slats, matching mini blinds to your accent pieces will be a snap.
