Woven wood blinds have been around for quite some time, but they have never really caught on in homes that are more traditionally decorated. It's a bit confusing, since these blinds are universal and can fit into just about any type of room decor, and the colors are earthen enough to go with any predominant colors.
They are a stylish but subtle alternative to the traditional window blind, but the best part is what they are made of. These days, the majority of the ones you see on store shelves are 100% natural, so no plastics at all. Many are made from bamboo, various types of grass, reeds -- the list quite long. There are also such a variety of colors and densities in the woven wood blinds themselves, so you can find some that are as dark, light, or as colorful as you want.
Usually, woven blinds that are made of wood are made with relatively thin wood fibers that are sewn together. These days there are more than the traditional styles, and some are so carefully crafted that they look like they are actually made of fabric. If you want, you can also find styles that are thicker than the norm. These kinds block out more sun light from the room and they are a bit more exotic-looking than those that are lighter. These can be slightly more expensive, but the fact that they block out a good amount of light is a selling point for many. Neither is better, so it depends on your personal tastes.
You will find that real woven wooden blinds can be more expensive than those that are imitations or made of plastics. This is because they are made of natural materials and not cheap plastics. High-end woven blinds are often hand-made as well, which does raise the price due to the fact that the human factor makes each one unique in its own right.
Most department or home decorating stores do carry these blinds, but if you want to save some money take your search online and see what you can find. There are more designs, styles, and colors of these blinds than you would have ever expected before and being able to shop online gives you a huge range of prices to look into.
If you are looking for that wood blind look but not the price, you can find fake wood styles in stores as well. If you actually pay attention, you might actually discover that the ones sold in many stores are not real either. Though they are not technically real wood, they do look the part. They will also not get damaged by humidity or extreme heat as easily as real wood either.
No matter which type you decide on, the choices for real woven wood blinds or faux styles is huge. Don't let what is traditionally considered to be a woven blind deter you, they come in some many shapes, sizes, and styles can fit into any room's decor with ease.
