Window Dressings with Character: The Allure of Wood Blinds

Wooden blinds have long been a favourite choice for home and business owners in New Zealand. Their timeless appeal, versatility and the natural warmth they bring to interior spaces make them an ideal choice for any kind of space.

The Many Appealing Traits Of Wood Blinds

Regardless of whether you go for classically beautiful true wood blinds or cost-effective yet still charming faux wood blinds, there are plenty of benefits that you can expect from your new blinds.

Elegant, Timeless Aesthetic Appeal. Nothing quite beats the beauty of wood. Wood has a lovely feel and look that exudes classic sophistication, and wood blinds are a very easy way to add some charm to any room in your home or business. The wonderful natural grain patterns on the wooden slats of your blinds can bring some natural beauty into your space. Even if you choose faux wood blinds, you’ll still enjoy the charm of wood.

Amazing Design Versatility. One of the significant advantages of wood blinds is their versatility in design. They are available in various colours, allowing homeowners to pick options that perfectly match their interior decor. You can choose from classic colours like white, black and beige or you can pick natural brown hues. Faux wood blinds also come in an array of looks, including ones that mimic the look of real wood, providing a budget-friendly yet stylish alternative that meets your needs without draining your bank account.

Durability And Longevity. High-quality wood blinds are known for being durable and reliable. If cared for and treated properly, you will be able to enjoy your stunning wood blinds for many years. This means that your blinds are an investment that can positively impact your life for a long time.

Even if you choose faux blinds, you’ll still enjoy sturdy, dependable blinds that are built to last.

Reliable Light Control And Privacy. One of the primary purposes of blinds is to control light and provide privacy, and wood blinds are perfect for both. The adjustable slats allow you to precisely control the amount of natural light entering the room, creating a comfortable and well-lit environment. When closed, wood blinds offer complete privacy, ensuring that prying eyes cannot see into your home.

Even if you tilt your blinds’ slats to let in light, you’ll still have a good amount of privacy, as the slats will let in light while still making it difficult for any unwanted eyes to view your home or business.

Easy Low Maintenance. Fortunately both busy homeowners and business owners alike, taking care of your true wood or faux wood blinds is very easy. These blinds really only need routine dusting with a cloth or a vacuum with a brush attachment to keep them looking shiny, clean and wonderful.

While dusting is great for regular cleaning, remember that you may want to also deep clean your blinds occasionally. A damp cloth with mild soap is perfect for deep cleaning your blinds.

Steps For Choosing Your New Wood Blinds

With plenty of beautiful options available, how can you decide on which blinds are right for you?

Assess Your Needs. Before adding anything to your cart, think about the room you’re purchasing blinds for and consider its specific needs. How many sets of blinds do you need? What colour would go best with the rest of your decor? Do you want classic true wood blinds, or the more affordable yet still beautiful faux wood blinds?

Measure Accurately. Accurate measurements are crucial for a beautiful, perfect fit. Measure the height and the width of your windows, and decide whether you prefer an inside or outside mount. If you need some help, come and view our convenient measuring guides.

When measuring for your blinds, be sure you follow the instructions exactly so that your measurements are accurate. Even one mistake can result in your blinds being the wrong size, hindering their functionality and making them not a great fit for your needs. When you measure, measure twice or even thrice to ensure your numbers are accurate.

Consult With Professionals. If you’re having trouble with your selection, or even if you’re struggling to understand anything like how ordering works, measuring correctly or the policies of your seller’s store, don’t be afraid to reach out for help.
