Every home should be warm and welcoming, from the minute you set foot in the door, to the moment you settle down on the sofa for the evening. There are many ways to make our homes feel cosy, and that includes an effective window dressing. A high quality blind will bring privacy, warmth and excellent light control to your space, along with the lovely aesthetics to tie in with the rest of your decor. Wooden venetian blinds are the perfect option – here’s a little more about them…

What are venetian blinds?

Are you on the hunt for a stylish alternative to curtains? Perhaps you want something a little more warming than roller of vertical blinds? Whether your home is a cool modern space or a charming traditional place, wooden venetian blinds are the perfect choice.

Venetian blinds boast a sleek and streamlined design. They are made up of a series of wooden or faux wood slats which are connected via a pulley cord system. When fully raised, the slats stack neatly on top of each other at the top of the frame. When lowered, the slats can be rotated up to 180 degrees, providing either full coverage or a gentle filter of light.

Named after the city where they were first discovered, venetian blinds are a classic choice for the home. They also offer exceptional value for money, boosting the look and functionality of your space for the long term.

The benefits of wooden venetian blinds

While aluminium venetian blinds work well in home offices, bathrooms and kitchens, real wood venetians are the ultimate choice for bedrooms and living areas.

Wooden venetian blinds are incredibly versatile, both in terms of aesthetics and functionality. They bring warmth and distinction into your home, offering a practical solution for almost every space. And when it coms to moisture-prone areas like the bathroom, consider one of our faux wood alternatives.

Wooden blinds offer a precise degree of rotation which allows just the right amount of sunlight into your room. These easily adjustable slats provide excellent privacy, along with the sturdy nature of wood which prevents shadows and outlines being seen from outside. Wood is also a naturally warming material, so you can expect your new blinds to boost insulation. This in turn leads to better energy efficiency, helping you to save money whilst having a positive impact on the environment.
