Wood Blinds vs. Faux Wood Blinds
A classic choice, wood blinds are beautiful and come in a wide range of light and dark hues as well as polished or painted finishes. Although they’re ideal for offices and dens, they aren’t a good choice in rooms where moisture is present, such as kitchens and bathrooms. In these spaces, faux wood blinds are a better option. In addition, if you’re seeking a softer and more romantic vibe, for a bedroom or living room perhaps, you may prefer faux wood.
A Word on Safety
Corded window coverings can be dangerous in a home with young children or pets. Fortunately, we offer cordless lift options to ensure that your blinds are safe as well as beautiful and functional. If you aren’t interested in cordless blinds, there are other steps you can take to reduce the hazards presented by corded blinds and shades.
