With wooden venetian blinds you need to consider the “stack”. The stack is the depth of the slats on the blind when it is pulled all the way up.
If your window has a fanlight at the top or your room is particularly dark and you want to pull the blind up to let more light in, rather than just control the light by controlling the angle of the venetian blind slats, then the following guide will give you an indication of how much room the blind will take.
The stack is reduced with 50mm slats because you need less slats to cover the drop when the blind is closed, so this may be the better option if you don’t have room at the top of the window.

The measurement stated includes the headrail and bottom rail, ie from the very top of the blind to the bottom.
