Blinds. Where do they come from? And how have they evolved over the years?

Window coverings can be traced back to some of the world’s most ancient societies. Egyptians used damp strips of cloth as blinds to keep the dirt and sun from entering into their homes. Reeds were also gathered for use as shade and décor within their homes. The Chinese used bamboo products as window treatments and decorations.

Venetian blinds originated in Persia. Traders first discovered these window coverings and conveyed the innovative idea of a blind to Venice in Italy. During the 18th century the popularity of blinds amongst countries such as France and England increased. These blinds were first installed In St Peters church in Rome. Over the years, they grew in popularity and have developed in function and style.
