These window coverings have incredible colors due to both their natural hues and to the quality craftsmen who cut, stain, and treat these blinds. They can come in a great range of colors. For those who like darker colors, a deep espresso stain can look stunning; while others may prefer a lighter tan or “latte” coloring. Any of these colors will add a rich, textured feel to your home or apartment.

Unsurprisingly, these blinds are made with real wood. While faux wood has its benefits, real wood provides a solid, authentic feel. It looks like wood, it feels like wood, and it ages like wood. While many quality window treatments are made with plastic, metal, fabric, or other materials, real wood is in a league of its own. There’s a reason it’s one of the oldest building materials known to man. Despite its traditional nature, however, this decorating style can be a perfect complement for your modern home.

These blinds are clearly a beautiful aesthetic choice. But looks aren’t everything. You want your windows to work, and you want your window coverings to work. Wooden slat blinds offer some of the smoothest and most reliable functionality. And due to their thickness, they’re highly effective at blocking out light.

Wooden slat blinds are some of the easiest around to clean, which can be a major advantage for the busy home or apartment owner. Thanks to the broad, flat slats, you can just run a cloth over them and be done. And unlike long fabric curtains, you don’t have to worry about pets, vacuums, or stains damaging the window treatment.
