In
interior design, the blinds found on windows and
doors are major decorating elements. Blinds made
of wood or those with a wooden look add a feeling
of warmth and coziness to the atmosphere in the
room. They provide privacy without looking stark.
They have an inviting look and add beauty to the
rest of the furniture in the room. Interior
decorators prefer wood blinds for their warmth,
versatility, and durability. They can be
custom-crafted to suit the décor of any room.
Wood blinds give a natural look to the room with a
graceful charm. They look much better than
traditional curtains or shutters. They look pretty
from both inside and outside the window. In
addition, window wood blinds are good insulators
from heat or cold. For humid areas like windows in
the bathrooms or in the kitchen, faux-wood blinds,
which look exactly like wood blinds, can be used.
Wood blinds are crafted from two different types
of wood in most cases: Ramin wood and Bass wood.
Bass wood is the most preferred since it has more
distinctive grain and is stronger. It is also good
for staining. Blinds can be constructed with a
no-hole option that enables the blinds to make the
room really dark. Using a 3-inch valance on these
blinds is very decorative. Ramin is the less
expensive alternative and generally uses a 2-inch
valance at the top of the window to hide the metal
head rails.
Wood blinds come in lots of varieties--vertical
blinds, woven wood blinds, faux wood blinds, wood
mini blinds, etc. They are also available in
various shapes, stains, colors, and shades and can
be created from different varieties of wood.
Window wood blinds can be custom ordered. They can
be fitted with other optional features like fabric
tapes, cord-want tilt and motorization,
light-blocking, UV control, and anti static
control.
The size of the slats has to be determined when
buying wood blinds. One-inch slats are for French
doors and smaller windows whereas two inch slats
look good on windows of any size and shape. Blinds
that have slats bigger than two inches look like
plantation shutters and provide maximum
see-through space when open. Other options
provided with wood blinds are cordless operation
and valance upgrades as per customer requirements.
Wood blinds are available in home improvement
centers and stores that provide home/interior
decoration services. Nowadays, blinds can also be
ordered through online stores with catalogues on
their website. They can be ordered as per custom
requirements also. Ordering wood blinds online
directly from the manufacturer can be very
inexpensive.
