Selecting Faux Wood Window Blinds For Your Home

By Jerri Perry


If you are looking for an effective window treatment for your home, consider faux wood window blinds. They are reasonably priced, easy to hang, and come in a variety of colors - you can find the perfect ones that will match any room in your home. They will upgrade any room in your house including bathrooms, kitchens, basements and bedrooms.

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.

Active children and pets will not be able to do much damage to these window treatments. They are practically indestructible and are difficult to bend or break. If your home receives bright spots of sunlight in specific areas, these treatments will allow you to keep your rooms cool by closing off the hot rays. Your air conditioning bill may be substantially lowered because of this.

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.

The biggest plus of buying these products is the cost savings involved compared to purchasing real wood treatments. While many individuals are set on natural products, many cannot tell the difference between the two quality options. Savings are dramatic and if you are on a tight budget, faux styles are probably your very best choice.

Different styles can be purchased - some with varied textures such as a wood grain or embossed stamp. Add extras such as valances, drapes, curtains or cornices to dress up the area. If you love a very simplistic home, you may even want to leave them plain. You will have more control over the amount of sun you let in if there are no other coverings to worry about.

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.
