For privacy, angle your blinds at approximately 45 degrees or less.
This angle prevents people outside from seeing inside your home while still allowing some natural light to enter. Here's a breakdown of how to consider the angle of your blinds:
- Privacy: As mentioned, a 45-degree angle or less is optimal for blocking the view from outside. The steeper the angle, the more privacy you'll have, but the less light will enter.
- Light Control: Adjusting the angle allows you to control the amount of sunlight entering the room. Experiment to find the angle that minimizes glare on screens or prevents direct sunlight from fading furniture.
- Vertical vs. Horizontal Blinds: The same principle applies to both. With vertical blinds, you're adjusting the angle of the vanes to control the view and light.
Ultimately, the best angle for your blinds depends on your personal preferences and the specific needs of the room. Consider the time of day, the position of the sun, and your desired level of privacy to make the optimal adjustment.
