There’s something about wooden blinds that keeps them in vogue when it comes to covering windows. For some reason they remain the classic choice of many homeowners in spite of the many different blinds and curtains available on the market these days. It seems, with such a wide choice of blinds, that wood blinds would decrease in popularity however, to the contrary, their popularity is at an all time high.

What makes the wooden blind such a popular choice?  It’s simple really; they are classy and no matter how you’ve decorated your house they fit with any décor.  You can’t really go wrong when you choose wooden blinds. No matter how many times you upgrade your furnishing, change your carpet, or re-paint or wallpaper your walls, wooden blinds will still fit right in. They also add real warmth to any room, which makes them extremely suitable for bedrooms and for living room areas.

Most wooden blinds are made from basswood or other hardwoods. They are available in a number of different stains, or even different painted colors.  Whatever your budget, you should find something that would suit.

If you’re concerned about moisture and humidity, you may want to go for the faux wood blinds. With the look and feel of hardwood blinds, they do better in more humid surroundings. If humidity isn’t a problem and you don’t need to worry about wood warping, I’d go for the real wood blinds.

You can choose from wooden vertical blinds which really do add a classy touch to a room. Or there’s my favourite, wooden venetian blinds, which are so simple to care for and clean and look beautiful over large windows. Wooden Roman blinds are another hot favourite with homeowners too.

Common sizes for wooden blinds are 60, 90 and 120 cms wide.  Slats are usually either 25, 35 or 50 mm wide. Custom blinds can also be made, should these particular sizes not fit your windows.  One pro with wooden blinds is that they are usually relatively easy for the DIY handyman to install.  When shipped, most blinds include all the screws and other items needed for easy assembly.

You may actually find it more cost effective to decorate with wooden blinds than with other types of blinds. This is mainly because there are less options to choose from with wooden blinds, thus prices are usually a little lower than similar blinds made out of other materials.
