Vertical blinds consist of individual slats or vanes that hang vertically from a headrail at the top of the window. They can be made of various materials such as fabric, vinyl, or aluminum, and come in a variety of sizes and colors to fit different window sizes and decor styles.

Vertical blinds can be adjusted to control the amount of light and privacy in a room. They can be tilted to let in light while maintaining privacy, or fully opened to allow maximum light into the room. They are operated by pulling on a cord or chain to rotate the slats, or by sliding them along the headrail to completely uncover the window.
