Where It Fits In Springfield
Where Wood Blinds Fit In Springfield
Blinds are a classic choice for traditional homes, and faux wood handles the rooms where there's moisture.
- Leland Grove And JeromeThese two communities sit inside Springfield with their own local governments. In a traditional room with stained woodwork, real wood blinds stained to match the trim look like part of the house.
- Kitchens And BathroomsThese rooms get faux wood from us every time. The engineered polymer slats won't crack, chip or fade in the humidity, and they clean up with a quick wipe.
- Front WindowsWood blinds add a clean look to the front of the house and give you daytime privacy with the slats tilted part way. Close them and a good amount of light stays out.
- Kids' RoomsEvery blind we carry has a cordless lift option, so there's no accessible cord for a child or pet to reach.
Wood Or Faux Wood
Picking between real wood and faux wood
Real wood blinds offer warm, rich wood tones, and they take a stain, which is how we match the stained trim, floors and cabinets already in a room. They're also lighter than faux wood, so a wide or tall window stays easy to lift. Faux wood is the more durable product in rooms with moisture, and it holds up well against warping, bowing and fading over time. Next to white painted trim, you can't tell a painted faux wood blind from real wood, and it costs less.
Leland Grove was one of Springfield's developing suburbs around 1930, and in a traditional home like the ones there, a stained wood blind looks like it was built with the house. The slats are what set a blind apart. You can turn them up to bounce the afternoon sun off the ceiling and keep a view out the bottom, or close them to settle the room down in the evening.
Choose from 1 inch, 2 inch and 2 and a half inch slats, routeless slats that let less light through when closed, and a decorative, modern or cornice valance to finish the top. Cordless, Cordless Lift & Lock and Motorized are all child safe, and a wand tilt adjusts the slats with a simple twist. Your Design Specialist will bring both wood and faux wood to your home, and your blinds go in 4 to 6 weeks after you order.

Straight Answers
Wood & Faux Wood Blinds questions from Springfield homeowners
Yes. Faux wood is made from an engineered polymer, so steam and splashes don't crack, chip or fade it the way they can real wood. That's where we recommend it every time, and Springfield's humid summers are one more reason to use it in the rooms with water.
Yes. Real wood blinds take a stain, so we can match them to the stained trim and woods in your home. Your Design Specialist brings the samples to your consultation and holds them against your trim in your own light.
No. With the slats shut they keep out most of the light, and routeless slats do even better since there are no holes in the slats. For a room that needs to be truly dark, a room darkening shade is the better choice.
Yes. We add a hold down bracket at the foot of the door so the blind moves with the door instead of swinging, and we measure the door in person to make sure the blind clears the handle.
Yes. They cost the least up front of anything we install, and you still get a blind made to measure, a finish that matches your trim, and our Carefree Guarantee behind it.
Yes. Motorized is one of our three operating systems for Wood & Faux Wood Blinds, along with Cordless and Cordless Lift & Lock, and all three are child safe. A motorized blind runs from a remote, the app on your phone, a wall switch or your voice.
