Windows, even the highest quality ones, will look advantageous only if they are framed well. Whether you choose regular curtains or prefer blinds – it depends both on your taste and on the design of the room itself. Let’s look at this type of solar protection system for a room, such as wooden blinds.
Features of wooden blinds
Before making a purchase, many are usually interested in the practical properties of this type of blinds – and this is entirely justified. It is very important to know how wooden blinds will behave at home, how easy they are to maintain and how long they will last. So, wooden blinds:
- regardless of their design, they perfectly regulate the light flow in the room;
- are environmentally friendly, due to which they are widely used in eco-interiors;
- durable and strong, like any wooden products;
- do not fade in the sun because they undergo thorough sanding and are treated with a special anti-ultraviolet varnish;
- they look elegant and at the same time bring home comfort to the room;
- give the interior a more noble look;
- ideal as a solar control system for windows if the room has furniture made of solid natural wood or leather or wooden wall panels;
- like any natural materials, wooden slats have a beneficial effect on a person’s psycho-emotional state and the general atmosphere in the house;
- are made in a wide color palette.
As for the material itself, such blinds are made from light and at the same time durable wood. Most often this is Canadian linden wood, painted with tint varnish in various colors. Thus, beech, pine, oak, cherry, walnut, chestnut and wenge colors, as well as snow white wooden blinds, are in particular demand.

The width of the wooden slats is either 25 or 50 mm. At the same time, wider blinds are more suitable for large rooms with large windows, and narrow slats, on the contrary, for rooms with small square footage.
Blinds can be installed either on the wall above the window or directly in the window opening. This is a matter of your personal taste and convenience, because you must provide access to a window for ventilation.
Wooden blinds in the interior
Blinds made of wood can be both horizontal and vertical. A system of vertical wooden blinds looks great in a home environment, while the horizontal version is traditionally more often installed in office spaces. But at the same time, you can easily, breaking stereotypes, install wooden blinds of any design in your home if the design idea requires it.

Wooden blinds should not be installed in rooms with high humidity levels. The fact is that this material does not tolerate moisture and may lose its sophisticated appearance. However, by installing wooden blinds in the nursery, living room or bedroom of a city apartment, you will get universal and easy-to-care wooden “curtains” for windows: they just need to be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner.
Interestingly, in addition to windows, wooden doors in the form of blinds are often used in the interior. This device is purely functional, it replaces standard hinged doors with a more convenient roller shutter system. Wooden closet shutter door fronts are an excellent choice, especially if your windows are also covered with shutters made from this natural material.
