Love the look of wooden blinds, but can’t be bothered with their upkeep? Or perhaps you want to put them in a humid room where water would damage and cause the wood to swell? The solution for you could be to purchase faux wood blinds.
Faux wood is really a polite term for fake wood, so faux wood window blinds are really blinds made out of something that appears to be wood but isn’t. Most 3″ or 2″ faux wood blinds are made from either high quality PVC or composite wood, such as a combination of hardwood and vinyl. If dampness is an issue for you, you would probably be better choosing the PVC blinds, as opposed to composite wood which will be affected in time by humidity.
With so many options available to choose from today, and such great quality looking window blinds, you can easily find the perfect suit for your room’s décor. There is a trend these days back towards wooden décor, and if wood blinds are too expensive for your decorating budget cheap wood faux blinds may be the solution. They’re much cheaper than real wood blinds, yet they often look very close to the real thing especially from a distance–in other words they do not look like fake wood blinds. Easy to clean, and lighter than real hardwood blinds, they’re also more durable and sturdy than real wood blinds.
If you shop around a bit you’ll most likely come across some discount faux wood mini blinds on the internet, as there are often very good sales and discounts offered on these items. Custom made blinds are going to be slightly more expensive than ready to order blinds, but still costs are much less than if you were going for the original.
Faux wood blinds don’t have to only be stained. You can also buy white wood faux blinds, which give the appearance of painted wood blinds. These give a very quaint appearance to a room, and also help to brighten it and make it more cheery and homey, perfect for a kitchen or a dining room.
There are all styles of faux wood blinds too. You can find faux wood vertical blinds as well as faux wood roman blinds or even faux wood plantation shutters! In fact, almost any style of blind can be found in faux wood material, so you always have that option no matter what type of blind you are looking for, including cheap plantation blinds.
Prices vary depending on the quality of the blind, whether it’s made from PVC or composite wood, and also what style it is. No longer just a cheap imitation blind, you’ll find absolutely gorgeous faux-wood blinds that will greatly improve the décor in any room of your choice.
