Where It Fits In Peoria
Picking The Right Blind For Each Peoria Room
Water, trim and the size of the window decide which blind is right for each opening, and your Design Specialist sorts that out room by room in your home.
- Stained WoodworkIn a house with its original stained trim, a real wood blind can be finished to match, and it looks like it was built in.
- Bathrooms And Laundry RoomsSteam and splashes are hard on real wood. Faux wood stands up to the humidity without cracking or chipping, and a damp cloth is all it takes to clean it.
- Painted White TrimAgainst white trim, a painted faux wood blind looks the same as real wood from across the room, and it costs less.
- The Front Of The HouseFrom the street, a row of matching blinds gives the front of your home a clean look and real curb appeal.
Wood Or Faux Wood
Matching The Blind To The Room And The Trim
The slats on a blind tilt, so you decide where the light goes. You can angle them to bounce the afternoon sun up off the ceiling and still see out the bottom, or tilt them closed to keep a good amount of the light out. When you want the whole window, raise the blind and the slats stack at the top of the opening.
Peoria has homes from every era, and the trim inside them varies just as much. On the West Bluff and in the Uplands you'll find homes built in the late 1800s and early 1900s, and if your home has stained woodwork, a real wood blind can be stained to match it. Real wood is also lighter, which makes it the better choice on a wide window. In a newer home with painted trim, faux wood is the smart choice, and in any bathroom, kitchen or laundry room it's the one we recommend every time.
Wood & Faux Wood Blinds are the lowest initial investment of anything we install, and they're still custom built to your windows and covered by our Carefree Guarantee. Choose cordless, Cordless Lift & Lock or motorized, with routeless slats for better light control and a valance or cornice to finish the top. Your Design Specialist brings both materials to your consultation, and you'll have an exact quote before we leave.

Straight Answers
Wood & Faux Wood Blinds questions from Peoria homeowners
Yes. Your Design Specialist brings real wood samples in a range of stains out to your house, so you can compare them right next to your trim and pick the closest match.
Yes, anywhere there's water. Steam, splashes and humidity are where real wood struggles, so we recommend faux wood for every kitchen, bathroom and laundry room, and for any window over a sink.
Yes, three. Two inch slats suit most windows. On a tall window, a two and a half inch slat looks more substantial and lets a little more light through when open, and one inch slats suit small openings. Your Design Specialist brings each size so you can see it at your own window.
Yes. With Cordless, Cordless Lift & Lock or a motor, there is no cord to reach anywhere on the blind, which makes them a safe choice for a nursery or playroom. A wand tilt lets you open and close the slats with a simple twist, so there's no cord for that either.
Yes, in real wood. Faux wood weighs more, and across a very wide window that weight can make the blind bow over time. For a wide opening we recommend real wood, or two blinds on the same window so each one stays light to lift.
Yes. Faux wood can be spot cleaned with a soft cloth or sponge and lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Real wood blinds should only be dusted, or vacuumed gently with a brush attachment, and never cleaned with water. Our Use & Maintenance Guide walks through both.
