We’re taking a look at wood blinds and all of the benefits they bring. There are many as you can imagine, and we’ll be going over a few of them today so you can make an informed decision on whether they’re right for you.
There’s something so linear and precise about blinds, and this extends to the fit and precision they give you in the way they cover the window. The beauty is you get such a great fit so whether you want full or partial coverage – you get it, on your terms.
Privacy
Another great thing about wooden blinds is the coverage is so precise that privacy is a given. The blinds are so much more solid and opaque. Nobody can gain insight into your home or private life if you don’t want it.
Insulation
Wooden blinds aren’t just for window coverage they also have other functions as we’re starting to see. Insulation is another. This has a double effect in that it keeps cold out in winter and heat out during the summer. This helps with energy conservation and your utility bills. You’ll also see a reduced need for switching on the heating in winter and air conditioning in the warmer months.
Sustainability and longevity
Wooden blinds last a long time. This is because they’re made of wood, a material renowned for its functionality, sustainability and durability.
You can also invest in Faux wood, which is more lightweight but still durable. It looks like real wood, and is particularly useful for bathrooms and kitchens, where the hazards of moisture can threaten the shape and feel of wooden blinds by warping the individual slats over time.
Maintenance is minimal
Wooden blinds are easy to clean and keep their minimal pristine condition for many years. All that is really required is a quick wipe with a damp cloth, without need for anything more grand or sophisticated than that.
Elegant, minimal and classic
Wooden blinds have an elegance all of their own. They never steal the limelight, but give any room an understated elegance that allows the walls and furnishings to take centre stage, but you still know they’re there.
Made from natural materials
Wooden blinds can certainly add to the decor in a subtle yet sophisticated way. They can help highlight certain colours and textures beautifully, while their natural origins make anything artificial like plastic and metal seem cheap in comparison. You can also have different wood grains and styles, so you can create a certain look for your windows that matches the themes going on in any particular room.
Wooden blinds are always the best choice.
Wood will always hold an attraction and a niche space in interior design because they tick all the boxes on so many different levels in terms of longevity, exclusivity, functionality, practicality and design. So if you’re thinking of having wooden blinds installed in your home, then you’ve made an excellent choice.
