5 reasons to buy wooden blinds

Creating a sense of privacy, bringing the look of your room together and blocking out the sun when it gets too bright –  the many benefits of blinds make them a must-have for any home. But with so many different styles, colours and materials to choose from, it can be difficult to know which blinds are right for your home. If you’re looking for some blind ideas, here’s why wooden blinds may be the perfect option.

They add a sophisticated look

Timeless and stylish, wooden blinds fit flawlessly into any room in the home. Whether you’re after warm toned slats to complement a modern look in your living room or rich, darker shades to work with soothing hues in the bedroom, natural shades bring a touch of enduring style to an interior.  

There’s plenty of choice in terms of colour and style, so you’ll be able to find the wooden blinds that match the look you’re after. You can even choose between faux or real wood blinds depending on the style you’re going for or the room you’re decorating.

They look best in kitchens or bathrooms

Faux wood blinds are ideal for kitchens, bathrooms or any other spaces that are susceptible to humidity. While real wood options can warp or crack when exposed to steam and moisture, faux wood made from high quality PVC is the perfect way to get the look without worrying about damage in the future.  

Our selection of faux wood blinds are specifically designed to look just like real wood and come in a wide choice of styles and colours. That means they fit perfectly into most interiors – and can even be a standout feature in their own right.

They're easy to maintain

As well as looking good, wooden blinds are also easy to maintain. Clean them with a damp cloth to get rid of any dirt or grime, and to remove dust – just use a vacuum cleaner.

To get a high sheen finish on your slats, wipe wooden blinds with a little furniture polish. This will help give them a glossy finish and reduce the risk of water damage. If you’re looking for advice on how to clean wooden blinds, check our guide. 

They're great for giving your privacy

One of the biggest benefits of installing wooden Venetian-style blinds is the level of privacy they offer. Block out the world for a cosy evening with a good book, or open the slats fully to let the sun shine through your living space. You can even adjust the slats to the perfect position, so you can let the light seep in without letting the world have a peak inside. 

They're easy to maintain

Whatever the size or shape of your window your dressing, you can get wooden blinds to fit. With made-to-measure blinds, you can make even the smallest of windows look stylish and benefit from some added privacy.
