Wood blinds can be just the finishing touch you need to complete the look of your Los Angeles home.

There are, of course, several options you need to decide on when in reference to the cords.  As we already discussed cordless options create a safer environment for children and pets while traditional corded blinds are a great option if you do not have pets or children.

There are several considerations to take into account when choosing your wood blinds; style, slat size, wood type and the finish.

Style

Blinds in general come as horizontal or vertical with horizontal being the most popular.  There are also blinds known as top down / bottom up blinds that can create a feeling of privacy while letting in light from above.

Slat Size

Slat sizes for wood blinds can range from 1 to 3 inches in width.  Choosing from within this range is largely a personal preference however smaller windows will tend to look better with smaller slats while larger window areas will want to have the wider with slats.

Wood Types

There are also a wide range of types of wood that can be used for blinds .

Genuine wood such as pine, maple or basswood, create an elegant feeling and create a sense of quality wherever they are placed. They are generally a little more expensive than wood blinds but are unequalled in quality and appearance.  They can also be finished to match exactly with the decor of your room giving you greater flexibility.

Finish

We have a range of finishes for your natural wood blinds however if you buy blinds that are unfinished you can create your own distinctive look by combining paints and stains with texture to create any faux or vintage finish you can think of.  The choice is up to you and the possibilities are endless.
