Real wood blinds are the ultimate in complementing wood furniture and offering an inviting, traditional look with a rich patina that only real wood can provide. Hardwood blinds are durable and lightweight, making them ideal for large windows. Most wooden blinds are harvested from timber using sustainable forestry techniques and come in a wide variety of stains to match most hand-rubbed furniture, molding or flooring. Wood blinds can also be distressed for the rustic look or stained in modern colors for a more contemporary feel. Slat sizes, valances, motorization and route less options add to the many choices. Cloth tapes bestow the finishing touch to wood blinds to enhance color and design appeal. Wood blinds are simply a peerless choice.
Wooden slat blinds are an innovative take on the traditional window blind. Wood blinds for windows are at once an effective window covering and a stylish decorative statement. When closed, they can effectively block sun, thanks to their thick, opaque nature.
But their mobility means that they can also let sun through. Some wood blinds for windows work in exactly the same way as venetian blinds — they have a cord for raising and lowering the blinds, and a rod you can twist to angle each slat up or down. But some wooden slat blinds are even easier. Many have a wooden piece running up and down, connecting each shade. That means you can raise and lower each blind with a quick, easy motion. This functionality makes these window coverings some of the most practical and effective options for decorating your home.
