Wood Blinds Buying Guide

Horizontal Wooden Blinds

Horizontal wooden blinds made from natural basewood are an excellent solution for decorating an executive office, a country cottage, or a spacious apartment.

Wood window blinds appeal to those with refined taste and a preference for high-quality materials.

The slats are typically 2–3 mm thick, providing durability and structure. Dense, wide slats effectively block sunlight, resist deformation over time, and are environmentally safe — releasing no harmful substances. Motorization is available as an optional upgrade.

Custom Wooden Blinds

You can customize the color, slat size, valance style, wand position, and height of your wooden blinds. For large windows, Blinds To Go offers two blinds under one valance for a seamless look. You can also add motorization for comfort and smart control.

Size of Slats

If you’re renovating your window coverings, you’ll want made-to-measure wooden blinds. Blinds To Go lets you create 2-inch wood blinds or 1-inch wood blinds. Larger slats are best for big windows, while 1-inch slats suit standard or smaller openings.

Valance of Wooden Blinds

You can customize the valance. We can install it around the window frame to cover it fully or combine several blinds under one continuous valance for a seamless appearance across multiple windows. Blinds To Go offers both designer valances with refined detailing and simple valances for a classic style.

Wand Height in Wooden Blinds

For comfort and accessibility, you can customize the wand height. This is helpful for high windows or when furniture is near your blinds.

Cordless and Smart Motorized Options

Blinds To Go does not use lift cords. Lifting and slat adjustments are manual by default, and you can add motorization controlled via remote or a smart hub (Alexa/Google). Our app allows scheduling and automated scenes.

Faux Wood Blinds vs Wood Blinds

Both faux wood and real wood blinds offer style, privacy, and precise light control — but they differ in material, durability, and best-fit applications. Here’s a full comparison to help you decide which is right for your home.

How Much Do Wood Blinds Cost?

The cost depends on size, material, and customization. Real wood is typically more expensive than faux wood due to its natural texture. On average, wood blinds start around $200 per window, varying with width, height, valance style, and motorization. At Blinds To Go, your blinds are custom-made to your exact measurements.

By Room and Design Case

Interior Styles That Suit Wooden Blinds

One of the main strengths of wooden blinds is their versatility. They suit classic interiors and pair well with minimalism, country, Victorian, Empire, Art Deco, boho, modern, Western, and vintage styles.

Living Room Wooden Blinds

Wooden blinds offer light and privacy control while adding visual warmth. Pair with drapery for a layered, designer look.

Tip: Choose wider slats to enhance the sense of space. Consideration: Natural wood may gently darken over time under strong sunlight.

Kitchen Wooden Blinds

Install with caution: place away from stove and sink to protect from moisture, grease, and heat. Ensure good ventilation to preserve finish.

Tip: Choose faux wood in areas with high humidity. Consideration: Regular dusting helps protect from cooking residues.

Bathroom Wooden Blinds

For bathrooms, real wood is not recommended; consider faux wood blinds instead. Consideration: Avoid direct moisture exposure.

Bedroom Wooden Blinds

They create a serene, cozy atmosphere with cordless privacy. Darker tones like walnut or cherry enhance relaxation.

Tip: Combine with blackout drapery. Consideration: Blinds can be slightly louder when lifted.

Large Windows and Doors

Large openings may require a two-blind construction under one valance. Real wood is lighter than most faux alternatives.

Tip: Motorization simplifies operation on tall or hard-to-reach windows. Consideration: Patio-door blinds may produce some noise in use.

Wood Patio and Outdoor Wooden Blinds

Outdoor and patio wooden blinds provide shade and privacy while blending naturally with exterior materials like stone or rattan.

Where Not to Use Wooden Blind?

Wooden blinds are not recommended for kitchens and bathrooms with constant humidity and temperature changes. Choose models with a moisture-resistant coating or opt for faux wood blinds.

White wooden venetian blinds blend into the room and soften daylight, making spaces feel brighter. Options like white wood blinds and off-white wooden blinds reflect light beautifully on both small and large windows.

White slats harmonize with white walls and visually expand the window area. Pairing white wood blinds with curtains reduces edge light gaps and completes the window finish.

Advantages of Wooden Blinds

Wood is an eco-friendly material. Wooden blinds elevate interiors with a calm, high-end character and suit both homes and offices.

The Natural Scent of Wood

A subtle advantage of real wood blinds is their natural aroma. Gentle woody notes can be noticeable when sunlight warms the slats.

History of Wooden Blinds

Blinds date back centuries. Early versions appeared in the Ancient East for sun protection and later spread through France. The earliest blinds were made entirely of wood.
