About Wooden Blinds
Wooden venetian blinds - the natural look
Nothing else quite matches the elegant look of light filtering into a room through a real wooden venetian blind. They bring an added element of class, adding a timeless sophistication to your décor.
If your budget won't stretch to the real thing, you can still buy wood effect blinds as a lower cost alternative.
Wooden venetian blinds are available in various colours. Stain-based finishes range from very light, contemporary shades to rich, dark colours. You can also buy wood blinds finished in shades of solid, painted white. Wood blinds are very versatile choice that suit a wide range of decorative styles, from modern to traditional.
Natural wood blinds go particularly well with wooden flooring. They can also help to create an impression of warmth, making them a popular choice for living and dining rooms.

Modern control mechanisms make it easy to open, close or tilt the slats, whatever the size of the blinds.
For an even more striking look, you may be able to choose tape for supporting your blind's slats instead of string.
The wooden venetian blinds manufactured by our featured suppliers are made using Basswood, a strong and flexible wood that's sourced from actively managed, sustainable forests. So, all other benefits aside, you can also relax in the knowledge that you've bought an environmentally-friendly product!
As wood is a natural material, each part will always have a unique appearance. This includes the wooden slats, the fascia (which runs across the front of the headrail) and the returns (which go around the sides of the headrail, when fitted outside a recess).
Most notably, when buying blinds made from stained as opposed to painted wood, you'll be able to see the natural grain on each piece. Other features may also be visible (eg small knots, stripes, etc). Also, different pieces of wood tend to vary in shade, some being lighter or darker than others. All of these natural features contribute to the product's overall character.

Whilst each part of any wooden venetian blind will be stained to your chosen colour, our featured suppliers also take care to ensure that they use pieces with similar natural shades within each blind, so the finished product is made from wood that matches in overall appearance.
By definition, no two wood venetian blinds can ever therefore match exactly in colouration. Such uniqueness is an inherent part of the beauty that comes from products made using natural materials.
As a natural product, wooden blinds will fade somewhat over time as a result of being exposed to sunlight, just as curtains would. Such ageing is perfectly normal and is another aspect of the product's natural beauty.
