When it comes to the world of home décor, the options and possibilities can feel endless. This is exciting during the beginning processes of adding something new to your home. With fun colors, fabrics, shapes, and sizes of various pieces of home décor, you can feel like the world is your oyster. Of course, it can be equally as intimidating. With all of these options, how are you to decide on what is right for your home? For example, if you have decided that you are jumping on board the train of adding wood blinds to your home, you might think that the process is over. However, it is just beginning. Now, you must decide whether adding alternative wood blinds or genuine wood blinds to your home would benefit your space the best. Both come with various pros and a few cons that might switch you from one side to the other. Fortunately, we have taken all of the hard work out of the equation and did it for you. Read on to learn more about adding wood blinds to your home and which one is the best for you.
Genuine Wood Blinds: Occasional Maintenance, Endless Beauty
As mentioned in the title, genuine wood blinds require a bit of occasional maintenance, but offer endless beauty that will never go out of style. This is thanks to the natural beauty of their wooden slats. As unique as the tree that they came from, genuine wood blinds are simply unparalleled when it comes to home window treatments. In fact, our Hunter Douglas Parkland® Wood Blinds easily complement room with their rich, authentic craftsmanship. They also offer a variety of slat sizes, colors, paint, and stain finishes. Plus, for every Parkland® blind purchased, Hunter Douglas makes a donation to the Arbor Day Foundation®.
Concerning the cons, genuine wood blinds do you require a bit of maintenance here and there. They also are not best for rooms that see high humidity or heat often, including bathrooms and kitchens. If you don’t mind the maintenance and are not planning to put your wood blinds in these types of rooms, then genuine wood blinds are for you.
Alternative Wood Blinds: Low Maintenance, Realistic Beauty
On the flipside, if you want a wooden blind that offer is low maintenance and realistic beauty, then you will love our Hunter Douglas EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds. Offering the appearance of genuine hardwood without any of the usual upkeep, these alternative wood blinds resist fading, yellowing, warping and bowing, which makes them perfect for bathrooms, kitchens, and even sunrooms.
Concerning the downside of alternative wood blinds, it comes down to preference. If you have your heart set on the genuine beauty of rich hardwood, then alternative might not be for you. However, if you love the idea of low maintenance and a wood blind that looks pretty realistic to the actual thing, then alternative wood blinds are perfect for your home.
