Austrian blinds is permanently ruched only at the base.For this reason , the fabric and the form of the blinds should be kept as simple as possible. Austrian can be rather ornate or lavish; some have frills at the sides and base, and ribbons as well these can look good when left to rest about half-way up a window. They look their best in interiors with fairly generous, classical proportion,particularly if the room is graced with elegant architraves and attractive molding.
