The Spirit is a 25mm aluminium venetian blind sold by Blinds 2go, available in 16 finishes spanning pastels, mid-tones, and a deep anthracite. It stands out within the basic aluminium venetian category by leaning towards colour rather than restricting itself to the usual whites and greys. Made-to-measure pricing starts from £27.86.

Who it suits

Aluminium venetians are well suited to kitchens and bathrooms because the slats wipe clean easily and the material tolerates moisture without warping. A 25mm slat width works neatly in narrower windows where a 50mm slat would look oversized. In a home office or study, the tilt mechanism lets you angle the slats to cut screen glare without blocking the window entirely - useful when the sun moves across the day.

The Spirit's colour range extends it into living rooms and children's rooms where you might want something other than white. That said, venetians are not the easiest blind to keep clean in rooms with high dust or cooking residue; if low maintenance is a priority, a roller may be a more practical choice.

For bedrooms focused on blackout, a venetian can close its slats tightly to block most light through the fabric, but light will still enter around the edges. If complete darkness matters - for shift workers or young children waking at dawn - pair the blind with a face fit or add curtains.

The Spirit palette divides into roughly three groups. The softer options - Daisy, Lily, Mint, Pastel Blue, and Turquoise - give a light, fresh character that works in rooms where you want colour without heaviness. The mid-tones - Twine, Light Grey, and Dark Grey - are more neutral and will sit alongside most interior schemes. At the stronger end, Midnight and Anthracite are deeper tones suited to a more graphic or contemporary look. There is no indication that any variant carries a price premium over the base from-price.

With a from-price of £27.86, the Spirit sits at the entry-level end of the made-to-measure venetian market. As with most made-to-measure blinds, the price rises with width and drop; the grid above shows how the cost scales across common sizes.

How it compares

Within the 25mm aluminium venetian category, the Spirit is notably broader in colour choice than most comparable ranges, which tend to offer only whites, greys, and perhaps a neutral beige. If your window calls for a plain white or light grey blind, there are comparable options at similar price points worth considering. If you want a pastel or an accent colour in aluminium, the Spirit is one of the few ranges that offers it at this price level.

If your priority is a more substantial look - particularly for larger windows or living rooms where the blind will be a visual feature - a 50mm or 63mm slat in faux wood would give more presence on the glass. Aluminium 25mm slats work well in practical rooms; they are lightweight and can feel slightly insubstantial in wider spans.

A note on care

Aluminium slats can be wiped down with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild detergent. They are straightforward to clean compared to fabric blinds, but reaching every slat individually takes time. Thinner aluminium slats can dent if knocked, so take care during installation and cleaning.
