Wooden venetian blinds made to measure in Galway

Wooden venetian blinds suit Galway living rooms and bedrooms best, not bathrooms or kitchens above the hob. In the stone buildings of the Latin Quarter and around Eyre Square, the deep reveals of older sash windows give enough room to fit made-to-measure wooden blinds inside the recess, which keeps the frame visible. Choose 50 mm slats for those tall windows: they look in proportion and tilt shut neatly against the grey Atlantic light. In the 1950s terraces of Shantalla or Bohermore, where reveals are shallower, an outside-recess fitting works better. Warm basswood or a soft white rustica finish brightens rooms that face the bay on overcast days.
