Blinds & Curtains · Venetian
Venetian blinds, done with care. Two distinct families.
What are venetian blinds?
Venetian blinds are horizontal slats that tilt with a wand to control light and privacy — one of the oldest and still one of the most versatile window treatments around. We stock two distinct families from Norman: crisp modern aluminium (low-maintenance, wet-area capable) and the timeless look of timber or composite venetians (warm, classic, properly insulating).
Same control mechanism, two very different aesthetics.
Norman · CityLights 25mm slat
Slim, contemporary profile. Available in 33 colours. The choice for shallow windows or layered window treatments where a wider slat would visually dominate. Modern, restrained, and the right answer for apartments and minimalist interiors.
Norman · CityLights 50mm slat
Wider slat for a minimalist look and more open view when tilted. 12 stylish finishes. Worth specifying for larger windows where the wider slat reads as architectural rather than busy.
Norman · CityLights cordless
A light push or pull, no tangles, no exposed cords. Certified 'Best for Kids' — the cleanest, safest aluminium venetian. Worth specifying in any room where children or pets are likely to interact with the blinds.
Norman · CityLights for wet areas
Premium aluminium that doesn't fade, crack or warp. Built for bathrooms, kitchens, laundries — wipes clean with a damp cloth. The only venetian we'd recommend for any moisture-prone room.
Norman · Normandy hardwood
Premium sustainable hardwood with the LUXE finish — natural plant oils, no synthetic coatings. The richest timber venetian we sell, and the one we'd specify for premium homes wanting authentic real-timber detail.
Norman · Performance Fauxwood
Timber look without the timber sensitivity. Built for high-humidity areas — bathrooms, laundries, rentals — durable, waterproof, lead-free. The right answer when you want the warmth of timber-look venetians in rooms where real timber wouldn't last.
Norman · Western Red Cedar
Lightweight, naturally insulating timber with rich colour variation. The premium choice for Australian conditions — handles heat better than most timbers and adds genuine character with every grain pattern.
Norman · SmartPrivacy technology
Cord holes moved from the middle to the back of each slat. Tighter slat closure when tilted shut. Less light leakage when you want privacy, better privacy at night when lights are on inside. The engineering detail that separates Norman's wood venetians from the rest.
