What Are Wooden Venetian Blinds with Tapes?
Tapes are strips of cloth that run vertically down the front of the blind, neatly covering the holes where the raise-and-lower cords pass through each slat.
✅ Purely decorative — They don’t add strength but create a smart, tailored finish.
✅ Taped Venetian blinds are a popular choice for living rooms, bedrooms, and home offices where style matters as much as practicality.
✅ While they are room-darkening, they are not blackout blinds — some light will still gently filter through.
🪵 Tapes on Faux Wood vs Real Wood Blinds
Faux Wood Venetian Blinds:
✅ Tapes are colour-matched to the slat.
(E.g., a white blind comes with white tapes, a brown blind with brown tapes.)
Real Wood Venetian Blinds:
🎨 Custom tape colour choices available!
(Choose bold contrasts like a white blind with black tapes, or create a softer, complementary look.)
This flexibility lets you design a blind that truly reflects your personality and home style.
📏 Tape Sizes and Slat Widths
We offer two tape widths to match your wooden Venetian blinds:
✅ 25mm wide tapes — Typically used with 35mm slats
✅ 38mm wide tapes — Typically used with 50mm slats
✅ You can also select 25mm tapes on 50mm slats for a more delicate, subtle look if preferred.
This ensures your blinds look perfectly balanced and in proportion, whatever style you choose.
⚙️ Motorised Wooden Venetian Blinds — With Tapes Too!
Looking for the convenience of motorised blinds, but still want the elegant look of decorative tapes?
Good news — you can have both.
At Berkshire Blinds and Shutters, we offer motorised faux wood and real wood Venetian blinds, and both can be finished with decorative cloth tapes to match or contrast your interior.
🔌 Faux Wood Venetian Blinds – Tilt Only
✅ Can be motorised to tilt the slats open or closed at the touch of a button
✅ Raise and lower is not available on motorised faux wood due to weight limitations
✅ You can still choose decorative tapes for a stylish finish — just like with manual blinds
🪵 Real Wood Venetian Blinds – Tilt and Lift (on Smaller Sizes)
✅ Offers both tilt and raise/lower motorised functions
✅ Size limits apply – larger or wider blinds may not be suitable for motorised lift due to weight
✅ Tapes are still an option, even with motorisation
This means you don’t have to compromise on style to enjoy the comfort of automation. Whether you want to set the mood with subtle tilting or need hard-to-reach blinds to move at the push of a button, we’ve got a solution.

Do tapes make the blinds stronger?
No — tapes are purely decorative. They are there to enhance the look of the blind and cover the cord holes, not to strengthen the structure.
Will tapes help block out more light?
Yes — slightly! Tapes cover the small cord holes, reducing the amount of light that can sneak through. However, wooden Venetian blinds are room-darkening, not blackout.
Can I choose a different colour tape for my wooden blinds?
Absolutely. Real wood Venetian blinds allow you to pick a tape colour that either matches or contrasts with your slat colour for a truly bespoke look.
Which tape width should I choose?
25mm tapes suit 35mm slats perfectly.
38mm tapes suit 50mm slats.
However, 25mm tapes can also be used with 50mm slats if you prefer a finer, more delicate appearance.
Are taped Venetian blinds suitable for bathrooms?
We usually recommend faux wood Venetians with Cords for bathrooms and kitchens. The tapes are a cotton tape which are not resistant to mould caused by damp.
