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.
