Where It Fits In Washington
Where Wood & Faux Wood Blinds Fit In Washington
Water and trim decide the material, and the size of the window decides the rest.
- Stained Trim Near DowntownReal wood takes a stain, so an older house with original stained woodwork can have blinds that match it.
- Bathrooms And Laundry RoomsFaux wood is the right call anywhere with steam or splashing water, because it won't warp, crack or fade, and it wipes clean.
- White Trim ThroughoutIn a newer home with painted white trim in every room, faux wood gives the whole house one look for less than real wood.
- Big WindowsOn a wide window, real wood is lighter and easier to lift, while faux wood that wide gets heavy and can bow over time.
Wood Or Faux Wood
Tilt for privacy, raise for the view, and match the trim
Blinds give you more control over light than nearly any other product. Tilt the slats halfway and you get privacy with light coming in, tilt them closed to dim the room, and raise the blind to stack the slats at the top and clear the window.
Real wood blinds are lighter, take a stain, and suit stained trim and wide windows. Faux wood is denser, costs less, holds up to humidity, and suits bathrooms, kitchens and painted trim. Slats come in 1 inch, 2 inch and 2 1/2 inch sizes, and decorative tapes are available in a range of colors.
Every line we carry offers a cordless lift, which makes the blinds a safer choice in a home with kids or pets. Your Design Specialist brings wood and faux wood samples to your Washington home, measures every window, and gives you an exact quote before leaving, and installation follows 4 to 6 weeks after you order.
