Warm and Welcoming Real Wood

Create a warm and inviting home with one of our luxurious wooden blinds, and showcase the quality and luxury associated with real wood. They are constructed from authentic wooden slats, ethically sourced from sustainable forests, and are available in popular neutral shades, contemporary greys, and stunning natural wood stains. Available with or without ladder tapes, in complementary or contrasting colours, our wood venetians are the must-have blind for any home.

Painted Perfection

Experience the timeless elegance of a real wood blind enhanced by a luxurious painted finish as it transforms your home with a rustic charm. Painted real wood blinds make for a beautiful window covering, and a satin coat of paint in shades of white is always a popular choice for the bedroom among interior enthusiasts.

For those seeking a contemporary charm, explore the world of distressed greys, where classic elegance meets a weathered, vintage appeal. Or discover the gentle allure of chalky creams, adding a touch of understated sophistication to any room. Crafted with precision, our blinds promise not just functionality but also a touch of refined luxury, ensuring your home exudes warmth, character, and timeless charm.

Functional Faux Wood

You can opt for a faux wood blind to get the best of both worlds; the look and appeal of natural wood with a practical, hard-wearing, and easily maintainable finish.  These blinds mimic the appearance of real wood but are made from synthetic materials, such as PVC or composite wood. 

They are moisture-resistant and an ideal choice for areas with high humidity, like bathrooms or kitchens. Available in a range of natural-looking and painted finishes, they are a wipe-cleanable and budget-friendly choice.

Why choose a Wooden blind?

Wooden blinds are a longstanding, popular choice with customers and have been for centuries, for good reason. They're stylish, practical, and look great in every room of your home. Here are a few reasons why you should consider wooden blinds for your windows.

• Timeless Appeal: Wooden blinds have been gracing windows with their natural rustic charm for generations.
• Temperature Control: Wood is a natural insulator and is a great choice for helping to regulate the warmth in your home. It will help to retain heat during the winter and keep your space cool during the summer.
• Durability: Our wooden blinds are made from carefully selected hardwoods and are durable and incredibly strong, meaning year after year of luxurious elegance.
• Privacy and Light Control: A wooden blind can help you create a private environment without sacrificing style, and the rotating slats allow you to adjust the amount of daylight you let in.
• Options For Every Budget: Our modern wooden blinds make a great cost-conscious alternative to the more expensive shutter trend.
• Bathroom and Kitchen Options: Faux wooden blinds are the perfect choice for high-humidity environments, featuring a moisture-resistant finish that won't crack, warp, or fade.

Do Wooden blinds help retain heat?

Yes, they do. Wood is a natural insulator due to the air pockets within its cellular structure. This makes a real wood blind a great choice for helping to regulate the warmth in your home.  They will help to retain heat during the colder winter months and can assist in keeping your home cooler during the summer. 

Where can I have Wooden blinds fitted?

Our wooden blinds will add style and sophistication to any room and are suitable for just about any window.  They are the perfect choice for modern and traditional bedrooms and lounges, with rustic wooden shades and contemporary distressed greys.

As previously mentioned, faux wooden blinds are ideal for bathrooms and kitchens, as they can get splashed and wet without becoming damaged.  Wooden blinds are an exceptional choice for bay windows, conservatories, or sun rooms, as these windows are all about bringing the natural view into your home.

How do I keep my Wooden blinds clean?

The easiest way to clean your wooden blinds is to keep them free from dust by regularly using a feather duster or microfibre cloth.  You can also clean your wooden blinds with your vacuum cleaner; make sure to use a soft brush attachment.  Close the slats and lightly sweep in a downward motion. Try to ensure you clean both sides of the slats by alternating between them.

For cleaning stains, you should rub lightly with a damp cloth or sponge, being careful to avoid soaking the wood. If you have faux wood blinds, you can use a diluted mix of detergent and lukewarm water.

Avoid rubbing too hard, as this may damage the finish or paint on your wooden blind, and be sure to wipe away any excess moisture with a clean, dry cloth or paper towel.
