Like good furniture, wood blinds bring warmth and rich beauty to home decor.
American, Aveno, Comfortex, Hunter Douglas, Bali, Graber, Kirsch and Levolor are the leading manufacturers of wooden blinds.
The type of wood used is important to consider since poor quality products are more likely to warp and crack. North American hardwoods such as basswood, poplar, aspen and ramin wood are options.
Wood mini blinds with wide 3" slats give a shutter look and offer the best view to the outside. Narrow 1 inch slats create a busy look and will limit the view. The 2 inch size is the most traditional and popular.
Vertical blinds manufactured from wood can be purchased to coordinate with horizontal venetian blinds.
A wood blind can be used to reduce glare, diffuse or block light for complete privacy. Room darkening treatments are useful in bedrooms or TV rooms. Superior UV protection and sound absorption are other advantages.

Operate blinds with standard cord and tilt mechanisms or take advantage of battery powered systems for ease and convenience. Cordless blinds are uncluttered as well as safe for children and pets.
Custom order a wooden window blind to fit specialty shapes - arches, trapezoids, circles and angles. Wood blinds add character to bay and corner windows and sliding glass or French doors.
Look for several paint and stain colors including mahogany, maple, pecan or antique white. Golden oak, cherry and pine are also available in distressed or smooth glazed finishes showing off the distinctive wood grain.
Authentic wood window blinds should be dusted regularly with a soft cloth, dusting mitt or vacuum cleaner brush attachment. To clean, lower the blind and tilt almost all the way down. This exposes the whole slat for better cleaning.
