Classy and Natural – Wooden Blinds

Every time I think of purchasing new pillows for the couch or accents for the coffee table, I have to stop and think “now, will this go with my curtains?” If I cannot answer that question, I don’t leave the store with that item. If only I could switch up my window treatments as often as I want to re-do my living room.

There are so many options out there for window treatments. If you’re going for classy, sleek, natural or cozy, consider adding wooden blinds to your environment. Wood is typically associated with nature and thus can cozy up a room in a heartbeat, but it has also recently gained a reputation of classiness, making it oh so trendy.

Besides their natural beauty, there are many other advantages of using wooden blinds. Wooden blinds are very convenient, because they simply require a good dusting now and then rather than washing. And with their slats pulled down, wooden blinds can offer maximum sun protection. They are more durable than other varieties of blinds, and are made of sturdy materials that will look nice and new even after years of use.

There are different materials used in the manufacturing of wooden blinds such as fabrics, plastics and faux wood. Bass wood is a very popular material for wooden blinds. Depending on the style you choose, you could finally stop asking yourself “will this go with my curtains?”

There are different kinds of wooden blinds available on the market such as vertical blinds, woven blinds, mini blinds, etc. Each of these varieties caters to different surroundings and needs. If you have an odd sized or shaped window, then you might consider opting for ‘made to measure’ services. This ensures that you will get the best fitting for your blinds.

Curtains may be a price effective option at the moment, but do consider the countless designs, colors, and arrangements that would go well with wooden blinds for years to come. Available in various price ranges – choose the variety that best suits your budget and needs.

Wooden Window Coverings

Wooden window covers are a smart investment to protect one of the most valuable assets of your house. You don’t want your windows to break and for glass to shatter everywhere. This could possibly injure yourself and the loved ones that you care about. Lowe’s offers these kind of window coverings for around one hundred and twelve dollars. They offer such a seemingly high price for these coverings because if it is a Lowe’s product it typically deals with quality. You also want to make sure that whatever type of window covering you buy that it is easy to install. Most places have instruction manuals that come with their product, but this isn’t always the case.

No establishment should make their wooden coverings so complicated that you have to be a master craftsmen to figure them out however. You want a strong type of wood as well, so keep that factor in mind.

Go with a firm type of wood like oak. Ash may look prettier and smoother in some respects, but it simply isn’t as dependable.

There are companies out there like Blinds Chalet who offer wooden coverings for under thirty bucks. At that cheap of a price it is hard to say whether the product is truly one of a quality. The other possibility is that it just comes from a cheap manufacturer. If you go with the express shipping of your coverings the price does go up when you are dealing with Blinds Chalet. The shipping speed always increases the price, whether you are talking about coverings, other kinds of window treatment and any other product or service for that matter.

Wooden blinds and exterior window shutters will set your home apart from everyone else on the block. These inexpensive additions are sure to make your home more valuable as well.
