Hmm. I'm again not sure what Venetian blinds are, but in our house there were things called "zaluzje" (Tamara?), which kept the sun out. I looked at some venetian blind images, and it looks like they're the same thing, but maybe normally they're mounted on the wall above the window? Ours were mounted directly on the window, so they just moved with it when it opened (unfortunately no longer kept the sun out then).
