PLEASE NOTE: The term 'blackout' refers to the fact that the fabric is designed not to allow light to pass through it. Light ingress and bleed will occur through the gap between each slat and the perimeter of the vertical blind unit. Also this Classic Blackout vane has a colour co-ordinated blackout backing to match the fabric front.
Colour & Finish
- Colour: A soft, warm vanilla—sitting between pale cream and muted butter yellow. It has a gentle warmth without tipping into bold yellow.
- Tone/Depth: Light and airy; the shade reflects more light than it absorbs, giving the room a bright, uplifting feel.
- Finish: Smooth, matte surface with a fine, understated grain. No visible patterning, keeping the finish clean and uniform.
- Visual impact: The pale vanilla tone creates a warm, subtle backdrop at the window—ideal for softening harsher wall colours or brightening cooler rooms. Against white trims, it reads as a warm, cosy accent rather than a stark contrast.
Material Look & Construction
- Fabric feel (appearance): A tightly woven polyester blackout fabric. The surface looks neat, minimal, and contemporary with just enough texture to give visual interest without appearing busy.
- Opacity: Blackout; designed to block exterior light effectively, ideal for bedrooms, media rooms, nurseries, and workspaces requiring controlled lighting.
- Practical note: Polyester blackout fabrics are durable and easy to maintain. They resist fading, wipe clean with minimal effort, and cope well with day‑to‑day use—perfect for family homes or rental properties.
