Allusion Blinds

Measured & fitted across Burscough, Ormskirk, Southport & Tarleton

Allusion blinds are vertical blinds made from sheer fabric with soft fabric vanes running through them. They look like an elegant voile curtain but tilt like a vertical blind, so you can move from soft, filtered light to full privacy.

Best for

  • Patio & sliding doors
  • Large living room windows
  • Rooms where you want a softer look than verticals

A softer alternative to vertical blinds

Allusion blinds give you the practicality of a vertical blind, drawing to one side and tilting for privacy, with a much softer, more luxurious look. Light is gently filtered through the sheer fabric even when the vanes are open.

How Allusion blinds work

Sheer fabric hangs from a track with soft fabric vanes running down it. Turn the vanes open and you get a light, voile-like look with filtered daylight. Turn them closed and the fabric overlaps for privacy, while still letting soft light through.

When you want full access to a door or window, the whole blind draws to the side, just like a vertical blind.

Where they work best

Allusion blinds are a favourite for patio and sliding doors and large living room windows, where you want the practicality of a vertical blind with the softness of a curtain.

They suit calm, modern interiors and come in light, airy neutrals and whites that make the most of daylight.

Good to know

  • Allusion blinds are not blackout. They’re designed to soften and filter light.
  • They cost a little more than standard vertical blinds.
  • For a darker room, pair them with curtains or choose a blackout vertical blind.

We chose a combo of Venetian and DAy & Night blinds and they look fabulous. Steven’s installation service was outstanding, so clean and quiet, we did not notice he was in the house. So glad we chose the day and night option. They look fabulous. Thanks Emerald.”

Allusion Blinds: your questions answered

Are Allusion blinds good for patio doors?

Yes. They draw fully back for access and look much softer than standard vertical blinds.

How much do Allusion blinds cost?

They cost more than standard vertical blinds because of the sheer fabric and vanes. The price depends on the width and drop, and we give you an exact, itemised quote at your free home visit, with measuring and fitting included.

How do Allusion blinds work?

The sheer fabric hangs from a track with soft fabric vanes running down it. Tilt the vanes to go from filtered light to privacy, or draw the whole blind to one side like a curtain.

Can you see through Allusion blinds?

With the vanes open you get a soft, see-through voile effect. Turn the vanes and the fabric overlaps for privacy.

Are Allusion blinds blackout?

No. They’re designed to soften and filter light. For a bedroom, pair them with curtains or choose a blackout blind.

Are Allusion blinds good for privacy?

Yes. Turn the vanes closed and you get privacy while soft, filtered daylight still comes through the sheer fabric.

Are Allusion blinds better than vertical blinds?

They look softer and more luxurious, and cost a little more. Standard vertical blinds are the better choice if you need blackout or wipe-clean fabric.

Which way do Allusion blinds open?

Like a vertical blind, they draw to one side or split in the middle. We’ll set them to suit your window or door.

How are Allusion blinds operated?

With a wand or a cord, whichever you prefer. We’ll show you both at your visit.

How do I clean Allusion blinds?

Dust them regularly or vacuum gently with a soft brush attachment. Spot-clean any marks carefully rather than soaking the fabric.
