Ask any good home decorator or interior designer and they'll tell you the
best inspiration comes directly from Mother Nature. There's simply no beating
the beauty we can find in the natural world and, as a result, some of the most
stunning homes are decorated with a feel for nature. This principle is
demonstrated perfectly with hardwood floors which have been used for generations
not only for their durability but also their versatility. Their rich colors and
innate warmth can be used to make a room feel both relaxed and inviting or
professional and studious depending on the tones of the wood and the surrounding
environment.
Options with wooden blinds can achieve this same effect either in conjunction with or without a wooden flooring plan.
Wooden blinds are now available in a number of different options. Traditional
hardwood blinds are often painted or stained to match the color scheme of a room
but can also be used in their more natural state. This allows the natural beauty
of their grain and pattern to decorate a room and bathe it in a warm glow.
As the blinds are set to allow filtered light through; that light bounces off the rich warm tones of the blinds before coming into the room making the light glow with those same warm tones and colors. If the rest of the room is decorated in light and neutral tones, this will result in a light warmth, ideal for cozy living rooms, bright kitchens and inviting entertainment areas. Blinds with a richer tone can be used in a darker or more warmly colored room to add to that warmth, keep light to a minimum and is ideal for the study, home office or even the board room. These darker, richer colors result in a Mahogany feel, most commonly associated with old fashioned home libraries and a classic or traditional feel.
Options in wooden blinds include natural wood as well as faux wood. Faux wood is created to looks exactly like natural wood but at a lower overall cost and also built to stand up a bit better than natural wood. Although wood is naturally quite hardy it is, of course, susceptible to the elements. With blinds the main concern is with fading. As the blinds are bombarded with sunlight every day, fading is an unfortunate but natural side effect for natural wood blinds. Faux wood blinds can repel these effects much better and are an ideal alternative for rooms which get a lot of sunlight.
Wooden blinds and window treatment options can give any room a natural warmth and glow that can only be found in nature. Even faux wooden options are able to replicate the look and feel of natural wood but are able to stand up better to fading and sun bleaching. The end result for decorators is a beautiful look that brings a feel of Eco-friendly green decorating at a price which leaves a bit of green in their wallet as well.
