How To Choose Wooden Window Blinds For Your Home

Who doesn't want their rooms to look sophisticated?

If you are thinking of luxurious-looking rooms, start with the window treatments! Wondering why?

You'll know once your windows are done right. Windows add to the charm of any room's overall décor. However, choosing the appropriate window treatment to suit your requirements the best is a tricky affair altogether. Plus, you have got to think about your privacy too.

So, where to begin?

Fret not; wooden window blinds are here to save you from all the thinking and looking here and there. Make your nest aesthetically appealing with practical yet decorative wooden blinds.

Here are a few suggestions to help you choose a suitable wooden blind for your windows:

• Know the material: You will find both real and faux wood blinds in the market. While it is entirely your choice to go with a real one or faux wood, you must consider the budget, location of the blinds, quality, and so on. Wooden blinds are a pretty good choice if you have a sizeable budget. However, note that real wooden blinds are prone to water damage. Faux wooden blinds are made of PVC, which is why they outlive the wooden ones, and on top of that, they are more cost-effective options. However, if you are determined to install authentic wooden blinds, premium quality Basswood that is well-known for its natural style and fine texture can be your choice. However, ensure the provider offers a UV paint coating on the wooden blind. That way, the shine of the blinds will not fade away when exposed to sunlight.

• Kind of finish: Wooden blinds have different types of finish. Some have a glossy finish, while some have matte. The variety of varnish stains, simple wax paints, and more allow you to have a range of divine options to set the mood of your interiors right. For people who want their interiors to emanate a warm vibe, a varnish-stained darker wooden blind is a perfect choice to make your home welcoming and cozy. However, wooden blinds coated with white or cream paint or neutral blinds could be ideal for a room with a dash of freshness and brightness. Neutral blinds are incredibly versatile. They can add life to the aesthetics of all kinds of decor; you can thank us later!

• Know the working procedure of wooden blinds: Wooden blinds are like Venetian curtain blinds. They have horizontal slats with a cord pulley attached. When you pull the pulley downwards; the slats get raised to expose the outside view. Suppose you don't want passers-by to peek inside your house; you can just lower the slats and rotate them to prevent sunlight from entering your room. The best part is you can adjust the position of the slats according to your requirements.

• Know the slat size, width, and drop: There are ready-made blinds on the market, and as you must have understood, these are readily available to be installed. In fact, they are pretty cheap compared to made-to- measure wooden blinds. But, this is not all, don't just look at the price, if your taste is more like couture and not fast-fashion, ready-made blinds won't live up to your expectations. However, If you opt for customizable wooden blinds, focus on the width and drop of the wooden blinds to choose the right style. This will allow you to install perfectly fitted blinds. Slats are typically offered in sizes ranging from 25 to 65mm. The largest determining criteria for slats are sunshine and window size, and the price difference between various slat sizes is quite negligible. The more window surface area you can cover using a slat, the broader it is in dimension. Choose wooden blinds with smaller slats for small windows. Remember that because wide slat wooden blinds have fewer slats, the stack height also diminishes.

No matter whichever type of wooden blind you choose, always try to get it from a store where they allow you to have a look at the samples of the materials that go into making a blind. Look at the slat woods, choose the color judiciously, and

decide the appropriate position for the blind to hang to get the most out of the wooden blinds that look magnificent when installed.
