Picasso Blinds (Silhouette)
A silhouette-style blind that suspends soft horizontal fabric vanes between two layers of sheer fabric. Tilting the vanes lets you shape the daylight and keep privacy without rolling the blind up, filling the room with an even, diffused glow and the elegant look of a dressed sheer curtain.

What is a Picasso blind?
A Picasso blind, also known as a silhouette or shangri-la blind, holds soft horizontal fabric vanes between two sheer fabric layers. When the vanes are open, light passes through the sheer faces and the room receives soft, diffused daylight with a view outside; when they are closed, the vanes overlap to give privacy. The blind can also be raised fully to clear the window.
Because the sheer layers hide the edges of the vanes, a Picasso blind looks closer to a dressed sheer curtain than to a conventional blind, while offering the precise light control of tilting vanes. LuxiVeil Picasso blinds are made to measure in our Antalya workshop and can be supplied with manual or motorized operation.
How to choose a Picasso blind
Vane fabric
Vane fabrics range from translucent to more opaque. More opaque vanes give better privacy when closed; translucent vanes keep the room bright and soft. Picasso blinds diffuse light rather than block it, so bedrooms that must be dark need a separate blackout layer.
Colour
White, ivory and soft neutral tones show the layered effect best and suit most hotel and residential interiors.
Operation
A chain control suits standard windows. For wide windows, high glazing or suites with several blinds, motorized operation gives smooth, even movement.
Care
The sheer faces are delicate, so Picasso blinds are best placed where they will not get wet or be handled often, such as living areas and bedrooms rather than kitchens.
Where Picasso blinds are used
Living rooms and bedrooms
Rooms where a soft, curtain-like look is wanted together with privacy control.
Hotel suites and lobbies
Hospitality interiors that want a refined, layered window treatment.
Executive offices and meeting rooms
Spaces where glare must be softened while the room keeps a premium feel.
Showrooms
Display spaces where even, diffused light flatters the products on show.
For dealers and projects
Picasso shades are supplied made to measure to dealers, designers and hotel projects, on their own or together with other blinds and curtains in a mixed order.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Picasso and zebra blinds?
A zebra blind slides two layers of banded fabric past each other. A Picasso blind keeps fabric vanes between two sheer layers and tilts them, a little like a venetian blind. Picasso blinds give a softer, more curtain-like look; zebra blinds have a crisper, striped appearance.
Do Picasso blinds give privacy at night?
With the vanes closed, they overlap and give good privacy. They are not a blackout product, however; where a room must be dark, combine the Picasso blind with a blackout curtain or blind.
How do you clean a Picasso blind?
Dust it regularly with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner on low suction, and spot-clean small marks gently with a damp cloth. Do not soak the blind, as the sheer layers and vanes can be damaged.
Are Picasso blinds suitable for hotels?
Yes. They are used in suites, lounges and lobbies for their soft light and elegant appearance. In guest bedrooms they are usually paired with a blackout layer for sleeping.
Is there a minimum order, and can I see samples first?
There is no fixed minimum order quantity. Every blind is made to measure in our Antalya workshop, fabric samples are sent for your approval before production, and deliveries can be phased to suit the project. Lead times are confirmed per project once the specification and final measurements are agreed.
Is motorized operation available for Picasso Blinds?
Yes. Picasso Blinds are available with both manual and motorized operation. Our team can advise which option suits your project.
How do I measure my windows for Picasso Blinds?
Measure the width and height of each window in centimetres. For a blind fitted inside the recess, measure the width at the top, middle and bottom and send the smallest figure; for a blind fitted outside the recess, add the overlap you want on each side. Send the list with room names or window numbers, and we check every size with you before production.
How can I request a quote for Picasso Blinds?
Send your project requirements through our RFQ form or message our export team on WhatsApp. We prepare a project-specific proposal.

Pleated Blinds
Folding, crisp-pleated fabric shades that can be mounted directly onto the glass surface, so they take up no room. Sheer, semi-transparent or blackout fabrics deliver different levels of light control, making pleated blinds a neat solution for glass balconies, conservatories, offices, attic windows and narrow spaces.
Roller Blinds
A single flat panel of fabric wound onto a tube, giving a clean, minimal window treatment that rolls up neatly out of the way. Sheer, light-filtering or blackout fabrics in plain and patterned designs let you set the level of daylight and privacy, making roller blinds a versatile choice for homes, offices, hotels and meeting rooms.
Zebra Blinds (Day & Night)
A double-layer roller system with alternating sheer and opaque bands, combining the function of a sheer curtain and a sunshade in a single unit. Sliding the bands in and out of alignment moves the window from soft, filtered daylight to full coverage, giving precise light control and privacy without raising the blind.
