Wood Window Blinds

     Wood window blinds in a home or office create an inviting and cozy environment and can compliment any décor or style.  Wood blinds can be stained or painted so it’s easy to incorporate them into the decorating plan you have in mind for your home or office.  Wood is a natural material that brings a calming beauty to bedrooms, living rooms, basements, garages, offices, dens, or your home library.

     Wood window blinds truly change the appearance of a room as soon as they’re installed.  Genuine woods such as bamboo, basswood, pine, ash, cherry, oak, and cedar are some of the most popular ones used to create stunning wood blinds to dress windows and doors in your home or office.  Wood blinds typically come with decorative valances for a polished and finished look.

     Wood window blinds feature varying slat widths to accommodate any window space.  Consumers can choose from 1-inch, 2-inch, or even a wider 2 ½-inch width.  Stain and paint finishes are offered in several different shades from light birch to a deep cherry.  White is a classic color for wood blinds for a light and breezy décor.  However, black wood blinds are ideal for a modern decorating scheme or an elegant office atmosphere.  Mahogany, maple, and oak finishes are also popular with homeowners and corporate designers.  If you prefer to paint your wood blinds, you can usually choose from a selected number of paint colors.  However, a few window blind companies offer the option of a custom color choice as well.

     Wood blinds do add value and beauty to your space, but wood window fashions are also known for their insulating qualities, so they’re considered an energy efficient option for window coverings.  Wood window blinds provide complete privacy and blackout conditions, especially if you order wood blinds that feature the routless hanging system.  This system eliminates the small holes (used on other wood blind styles for hanging) that allow pinpricks of light to shine through into the room. 

     Wood window fashions are seen in residential homes, medical buildings, attorney offices, bed and breakfast establishments, and offices.  This style of window covering can look just right in any setting.  Use these beautiful blind styles on your windows, door windows, or as a light filtering option for your sliding glass door.

     Motorization is one feature offered with wood blinds given that wood blinds tend to be heavier than blinds manufactured from vinyl, metal, composite, or bamboo materials.  You will pay a bit more for true wood blinds as opposed to window fashions made from other materials, but consider it an investment in your home or office space.  Wood blinds tend to have a longer life span, so you’ll spend less over the years because you won’t need to replace them as often (if at all).

     Wood blinds do react to humidity, so consider faux wood blinds for kitchens and bathrooms (instead of true wood blinds) due to the high humidity level in these rooms.  However, faux wood blinds can easily coordinate with your real wood blinds in adjoining rooms, creating a seamless appearance throughout your home.
