Wooden window blinds: Durable basswood or easy-to-clean faux wood

If you are looking for wooden window blinds, you will see that you can choose real wood or faux wood. Real wooden window blinds are almost always made of basswood, which is popular as a light but strong wood, and come in white, antique white, oak, cherry, chestnut and mahogany, just to mention some. On the other hand, for kitchens (where humidity, smoke or greasiness are present), faux wood is better. The most common width for slats is between 1 and 2 1/2", but other sizes are also available.

Wooden window blinds with wide slats are perfect if you want to have visibility or for bigger windows. Wooden window blinds with narrower slats are ideal if you want privacy or if your window is not very deep or big, or as bay window curtains.

Depending on the model and on window depth, wooden window blinds can be mounted inside or outside the window frame. Most wooden window blinds come with matching tassels and valances, tilt cords or wands and metal headrails; some shops allow customers to choose controls’ side. At online shops, prices for faux wooden window blinds may start at around $24, while real wood blinds prices start at $44; prices depend on blind's width and length also.
