With wooden Venetian window blinds, you can cover your entire window or just a fraction of it by operating the slats, which gives you more control over the amount of natural light that comes into your home. Our manufacturers use natural basswood to craft and manufacture our Venetian wooden blinds, which can resist knocks and shocks. It is also less susceptible to warping when exposed to heat and moisture than other woods.
Did you know that wood is one of the most sustainable materials on the planet? This likely won’t come as a huge surprise - most of us understand that natural materials are nicer to the planet. But, did you know that the sustainable benefits of wood start long before the tree is felled? According to the Arbor Day Foundation, a mature tree will absorb more than 48 lbs of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in a single year. It will then release oxygen into the atmosphere in return, helping to improve the quality of air that we breathe in.
Wood is also naturally renewable. If you choose wooden blinds from a sustainable source, each tree that is felled will be replaced by another. This means the manufacture of these window dressings has less of an impact on the environment when compared to other materials. On top of this, wood can be easily recycled and reused. There are numerous options for when your real wood blind becomes damaged beyond repair and no longer provides the light control you need.
So, if you choose wood blinds for your home - especially real wood blinds - you’re choosing a stylish and practical sustainable blind. We have a wide range of wooden blinds that are made-to-measure to fit your windows. They have a timeless design, with multiple horizontal wooden slats that rotate within a knotted frame. Use the twist cord to rotate the slats in unison, gaining exceptional control over light and privacy instantly. You can also pull on the looped cord to draw the slats up and expose the entire window if you want the light to flood in.
Elegance, Style & Affordability
There’s no better way to add a touch of style and elegance to your home than by fitting some stunning wooden blinds. Be they real wood blinds or faux wood venetian blinds, both are elegant and versatile solutions that match any interior style. These classic privacy blinds are available in many colour options from white wooden blinds (which have been a firm favourite now for many years) to the rising star grey wooden blinds.
We even have blinds that look like shutters! Our 65mm blinds give the wooden shutter blinds a look without the huge price tag (and long lead time). You’ll even have the option to spice things up and bit by adding decorative tape to your blinds.

- Faux Wood Blinds
- Faux Wood Blinds With Tapes
Real Wood Blinds
Real wood blinds are a classic window covering option made from high-quality wood in a multitude of slat sizes. Real wood offers a unique natural beauty and wood grain and colour variations give a warm, organic feel to any room. You can choose from many types of wood including oak, cherry, maple, and basswood. The type of wood impacts the texture, color, durability, and cost.
Faux Wood Blinds
Faux wood blinds are a fantastic alternative to traditional wood blinds and are a cheaper way of adding nature into your home without the price tag of wood. Looking identical to their real wood counterparts there are many advantages to faux wood blinds. Namely, Faux Wood Blinds are 100% waterproof so ideal for bathrooms and conservatories where you can get mould and mildew or even warping. Faux Wooden blinds are lighter than real wood blinds so therefore work really well as very wide blinds or extremely long blinds which is great for big windows.
Decorative Ladder Tapes
Blind tapes are fabric strips that run vertically from the bottom to the very top of your blinds through the slats. They support your blinds and hold them in place but also evoke a sense of splendor. Decorative tapes mainly exist for decorative purposes. These decorative strips, which run down either side of your blind and form somewhat of a ladder between your slats, are a simple yet effective way to make your home spaces stand out.
To get an even more wow look at your window why not opt for wood or faux wood blinds with decorative tapes? You can choose to go for a matching tape or a contrasting tape like a white blind with black tapes for a pop of colour.
