The Studio Venetian Blind - 25mm Slat is an aluminium venetian sold by Blinds 2go, available in 17 finishes that range from a deep Jet Black through warm and cool neutrals to two distinct whites. What gives it slightly more range than most entry-level venetians is the inclusion of both matte and gloss finishes alongside brushed metallic options - so the surface quality varies across the range as well as the colour. Made-to-measure pricing starts from £6.98.
Who it suits
Aluminium venetians at the 25mm slat width are a practical choice for kitchens and bathrooms. They clean easily, tolerate moisture well, and do not warp or discolour in humid conditions the way real wood can. The Studio fits this category directly.
In a home office or study, the tilting slats give you control over screen glare without closing the blind entirely - a practical advantage over a roller blind where it is all or nothing. The range of finishes - particularly the darker options like Jet Black and Space Grey - also gives the Studio some credibility in contemporary interiors where a plain white venetian would feel generic.
For bedrooms, a venetian can close its slats to block most direct light, but light will leak around the blind's edges regardless of how tightly the slats overlap. If complete darkness is the goal, this type of blind works best when combined with a face fit that extends slightly beyond the window recess, or alongside curtains.
The finishes
17 colours available
The nine finishes split into three rough character groups. At the lighter end, Gloss White and Matte White give you the option of a reflective or flat surface on the same colour - a useful choice where the quality of light in a room matters. Cornish Cream and Pebble Grey sit in the middle ground as softer, less contrasting neutrals. Moving into stronger territory, Brushed Silver, Brushed Pewter, and Space Grey give a more metallic, contemporary feel. Caramel adds a warm mid-tone for rooms with wood or terracotta-adjacent schemes. Jet Black is the most dramatic option, and works well in rooms that can carry the contrast. No finishes are indicated as premium-priced over the base from-price.

With a from-price of £6.98, the Studio is at the lower end of the made-to-measure venetian market. As with all made-to-measure blinds, the price scales with the width and drop you specify at order.
How it compares
The Studio's combination of a low from-price with genuine finish variety - including both gloss and matte whites, a true black, and brushed metallics - makes it more flexible than most venetians at this price point, which tend to offer only plain whites and a couple of greys.
Where it is less suited is any room where the blind needs to make a decorative contribution beyond covering the window. A 50mm faux-wood venetian, for instance, has more visual weight and suits living rooms and dining rooms better than a slim aluminium slat. If you need warmth and texture rather than a clean, functional finish, the Studio is probably not the right choice - but for kitchens, bathrooms, home offices, and anywhere a workmanlike blind is the brief, the finish variety makes it worth a close look.
A note on care
Aluminium slats wipe clean with a damp cloth; mild detergent handles greasy marks in kitchen use. The slats can dent if knocked, so handle them carefully during fitting and when cleaning. Regular dusting keeps the mechanism running smoothly over time.
