What Are Woven Wood Blinds?

Posted by Sara Watkins 17 November, 2009

You have likely heard of woven wood blinds, but chances are you have never used them and you might not have ever seen them either. It\’s a bit confusing, since these blinds are universal and can fit into just about any type of room decor, and the colors are earthen enough to go with any predominant colors.

These blinds are made of materials that are usually organic, and they are equally as attractive as any other blinds you may use. These days, the majority of the ones you see on store shelves are 100% natural, so no plastics at all. Most of the ones you can find will be made of materials such as bamboo or reeds, though some are made from specific types of grass. You can also find woven wood blinds in just about any color or thickness that you want, many of which are as different as night and day.

Usually, woven blinds that are made of wood are made with relatively thin wood fibers that are sewn together. These days there are more than the traditional styles, many of which are thin and actually look like fabric. There are thicker woven styles that can give a room a bit of an exotic flair that you wouldn\’t be able to get any other way. These can be slightly more expensive, but they also block out more light than the thinner styles. Both styles have their good points, your likes and dislikes should determine which you get.

You will find that real woven wooden blinds can be more expensive than those that are imitations or made of plastics. Real woven blinds are not made of plastic. Also, many of the more expensive varieties are actually handmade, which will raise the price for that irreplaceable human touch that furniture which is handcrafted gives off.

Most department or home decorating stores do carry these blinds, but if you want to save some money take your search online and see what you can find. You will be able to find even more varieties online, and since there are so many online retailers you will be able to find some in any variety of price ranges.

If you are looking for that wood blind look but not the price, there are faux wood blinds available at many retailers as well. And you may find that many department stores offer faux wood instead of real. While they may not truly be wood, they do look just like it. They will also not get damaged by humidity or extreme heat as easily as real wood either.

Whatever you decide, the choices for real woven wood blinds or faux styles is huge. Don\’t let what is traditionally considered to be a woven blind deter you, they come in some many shapes, sizes, and styles can fit into any room\’s decor with ease.

Looking to add a natural tone to a room but not sure how? Putting up woven wood blinds can get you that natural feel, and they won\’t cost a lot either.
