Also to know is, is it easy to fit vertical blinds?
You can fit the vertical blinds in different ways depending on the available space and your own preference. Fit the blind at a suitable distance from the window frame to allow for the width of the slats, so they can open and close freely. Use the spacer brackets if the vertical blind isn't fitted to the ceiling.
Likewise, how long should vertical blinds be? A common rule of thumb is to ADD 2 inches to the length of the vertical blind. In other words measure from the floor to 2 inches above the moulding. If you have no moulding measure from the floor to 2 inches above the top of the opening.
Also to know is, how do you cut vertical blinds?

Which way do you turn vertical blinds for privacy?
The direction -- up or down -- to close blind slats is a matter of personal preference, but if you want more privacy, tilt them up, with the rounded side facing out. With the blinds tilted up, passers-by can't see in: The convex side faces the window, creating less space through which to view.
