Decorating With Faux Wood Window Blinds

By Jerri Perry


Faux wood window blinds are one of the best methods of applying effective window treatments to a home. They can be purchased at a reasonable price, are easy to install and maintain, and are available in colors and shades that will match an entire home. They work equally well in bedrooms, living areas, kitchens, and baths.

Choose the element that they are to be coordinated with. It could be the floors, walls, furniture, baseboards or even your art collection. So many different colors and shades are available that it can be difficult to select one among several. Shades to consider include white, light oak, white, cream, ivory, walnut or cherry.

These products can be purchased in standard lengths and widths and special ordered for odd sized openings. Any product, from a large picture window to a tiny bathroom square, can be made to fit your own personal specifications. Some can even be cut to size on the spot for your decorating convenience.

Pets will find it difficult to bend, scratch or destroy these treatments. The treatments are very sturdy and indestructible and excellent for families with small and very active children. In an area of your home that receives large amounts of sun, they can actually help save on your air conditioning bill by keeping the sun out during the hot summer months.

Cleaning and dusting are extremely easy. They can be wiped down with a damp cloth or with a rag and mild soap and water. Seaside homes and lake shore properties are perfect residences for these as they are moisture proof and will not fade, splinter or warp. Extreme hot or cold temperatures have no effect on them.

Cost may be the biggest advantage to using these over real wood models. There is a huge gap between the pricing of the two, sometimes $200 less for the faux models, especially for larger blinds. If you have limited funds and don't have your heart set on the real thing, this option may be your best selection. Many treatments look so real-to-life that you can barely tell the difference.

Styles are available in a variety of textures such as a wood grain or an embossed motif if so desired. Add interest to the treatments by adding cornices, drapes, or valances after installing. Sometimes leaving them plain can be a best option as they are very attractive and allow specific amounts of sunlight in at the homeowner's discretion.

Shutter styles are also a viable option if you want a different look. More light will be able to stream in when they are fully open. They are also more decorative and unique. Expense can also be issue but they may be well worth the extra cost.

Faux wood window blinds will be a welcome addition to any house. The very simplicity and ease of choosing and installing these treatments will add instant charm to living quarters or home office. And don't forget how inviting they will make a house look from the outside.
