Are Custom Wood Blinds Really Worth the Money?

Changing out that dull drapery and putting in wood blinds is one of the simplest ways to add class and the look of elegance to any room. And with all the different types available, wood blinds can bring in a look of quality that other kinds of window treatments simply can’t do. You will be able to match any decor and make it look better by just adding wood blinds.

Taking down the drapes and putting up wood blinds also makes a lot of sense. To start with, the wood blinds keep the focus on the windows and gives the room a neater, classier feel that those bulky drapes don’t provide. Next, blinds are much easier to clean, thereby making them much simpler to maintain. Instead of having to fight with the vacuum cleaner and all those attachments to clean those pesky drapes of all the dust, you simply run a duster over the blinds and, voila, you are finished.

One of the best advantages with getting wood blinds, they can actually help you save money on the power bill. They help block out the cold and trap the heat inside to help keep the room warm during the cold winter months. And during the summer, they can keep the room cooler by blocking out the heat. So by helping you save money on your bills, they will actually be paying for themselves all year round.

You won’t be limited to the kind of wood blinds you can get either with them coming in different slat sizes. Thinner slats look great in a smaller room, while larger ones look better in a bigger, more open one. With wider slats, you control how the light is coming into the room and you get more light with the thinner slats. Closed or open, no matter which one you choose for your room, they will look fantastic.

When it comes time to update the look of your living room, den, office, kitchen or even the bathrooms, wood blinds are a great choice especially with all the reasons for having them, how great they will look, a lower power bill and how easy they are to clean and maintain. All you have to do is choose the best ones that will give your room the “wow” you want. You’ll be amazed at all the great choices of blinds available.

Adding wood blinds to your windows can be a great way to update any room in your house. The first thing Lillee McLoflin looked at when she wanted to add a bit of pizzazz to her room was seeing how using custom wood, mini or vertical blinds would help.

Why Select Wood Shutters?

Dressing your home’s windows is a very personal thing. The way you live contributes to the type of window dressings you select. For instance, someone who spends a lot of time outdoors would choose no window dressings or very versatile window dressings that allow for the entrance of light and air. You may enjoy having the flow of natural ventilation through your home and the heat that natural sun beams generate inside the home. Wood shutters are actually perfect for the person who likes to commune with nature all day long.

Many people are beginning to use wood as an affordable way to make their home more beautiful. Of course, we do not want to worry about destroying the environment in order to make our home more beautiful. Instead, we should find out whether or not the shutters that we are purchasing are made from real wood or a substitute.

Wood has a natural appeal. It is very strong and comes in various finishes as well. So this type of treatment is suitable for all kinds of home decor be it modern or traditional. You will be able to achieve the right kind of look by using the matching shades.

The look of a room with wood shutters is clean and crisp with traditional wood panels covering the windows. The shutters can be dark wood, or light wood and all shades in between. The shutters can be painted to be colored coordinated to match your dcor. If you don’t like shutters that open on the top or bottom, you can always choose plantation shutters which are one paneled shutters that fit the entire length of the window for a simpler look. You’ll have only one panel to adjust and when you want the panel completely open, open the panel like a door and let the sunlight and air into your home.

Another benefit is that you can even paint the shutters according to the colors you need to match. You need to take care of these shutters very carefully. If they are subject to moisture they may warp or expand. They may also fade when exposed to the sunlight for a long time. By using wood shutters on your windows you can be assured of safety. Try to use good quality wood if you want the shutters to last longer. Also, take care of them well for increasing the life span and functionality.
