Really Cool, Overly-Expensive, Roller Blinds

"These Window Blinds Are Better than Most Views"

"I like this idea very much: Instead of normal blinds to hide horrible views—and make horrible interiors—use one of these Better Views roller blinds. You can get night cityscapes showing Paris, Tokyo, Helsinki, and Stockholm...."

That's about half the text: which is an expression of the writer's reaction to these decorative blinds. Kudos, by the way, for some limited citations and links at the end of this post.

From what's written here, these blinds are a limited-edition production that go for about $475 each.

At that price, I'd suggest making your own. The things are described as black perforated polyester. If I were making them, I'd try sandwiching two layers of plastic: one black, the other colored and translucent.

Neat idea, but pricey.
