We all like to have blinds on our windows for a variety of reasons. Number one, to control the amount of light that is coming in throughout the day. In the hot months of summer you don't want the hot sun shining right into your home, you need shade to keep your home cool. Then, in the winter, you'll want a bit more sun to enter into your home since you'll be spending less time outdoors, so that's probably when you'll open up your blinds nice and wide.

Secondly, blinds are wonderful for privacy. If you live in a busy neighborhood, you don't always want people peering into your windows, so blinds work well in creating a visual barrier to the outside world while still allowing some light to enter into your space. Blinds and curtains are also a great way to decorate your home and add some personality to each room in your home. There are different styles of blinds you can choose from, Venetian blinds, which are the little slats of thin metal, wood or plastic that allow you to moderate the amount of light and privacy you have. Then, there are also black out blinds that allow a room to have complete darkness for the best sleeping environment possible.

Roman blinds were originally the invention of, you guessed it, the Roman people of ancient Rome. Since Rome tended to be very dusty and hot in the summers, the people would have to come up with ways to keep the hot sun and the dust out of their houses. Since they had no windows, the blinds were their only hope. So just like we do today, they did some do it yourself home improvements and started hanging wet cloths in their windows. That way, the dust would cling to the wet cloth, and the sunlight would be cooled by the coolness of the water on the cloth keeping it nice and cool inside. As time went on, they began to use strips of wood and string with the cloth to make it easier to open and close the blinds and before long, it became a fashion statement for the home.
