WOODEN BLINDS

We agree, wooden blinds are absolutely beautiful and should be considered as a great decorative boost to your home. But there's sometimes more to it than just measuring a window and buying the first thing you see. Look through this site for an education about shopping for blinds, the various options and proper cleaning.

 What options are available to you in the world of wooden blinds?

How do these compare in cost to other types of blinds?

Those looking for great indoor window treatments eventually consider the options of wooden blinds and the various similar alternatives. Most people love the look of these blinds but they wonder about cost. While they are more expensive many consider that price to be well worth it to gain the tremendous beauty and elegance they provide. But what if you are tied to your budget and want to do several windows, not just one? Lucky for you, there are cheaper options. Faux wood is the most common. Made in plastic or vinyl they give the look of real wood blinds but at a fraction of the cost.

Where can I buy blinds online? Offline?

We have listed several online retailers who sell wood blinds. Offline you can buy them in most major home improvement stores just as JCPenney, Home Depot, Lowes, and your local decor centers.

How do you take care of wooden blinds?

If they are real wood don't use water. It can actually damage the wood slats. Use a cleaning product designed for real wood furniture cleaning. If they are faux wood you can generally use water or a cleaning product designed for vinyl or plastic surfaces. Standard off the shelf blinds will almost always come with care and cleaning instructions. Be sure to read them for any special notices and warnings.
