A natural warmth can be easy achieved by fitting wooden blinds to a window however large or small. Lighter colours such as light ash, beech or pine are the ideal window treatment for small rooms as they will give the illusion of more space. These light colours compliment fashionable stripped floor boards or laminate flooring with the same colour tones. Small rooms will also benefit from having soft neutral tones of wall covering to further give the illusion of a larger space. One great advantage of using a wooden Venetian blind is that they look stunning when used as the sole window treatment placed either inside or outside of the window recess.
Deep natural colours such as dark chestnut or oak look stunning when used in larger sized rooms. Rich red mahogany is the perfect complimentary colour for decors of reds and greens, looking striking when used as the window dressing in dining rooms which have beautiful highly polished mahogany tables.
It often be difficult to find suitable colours for window treatments in rooms which have no defined colour scheme. Wooden Venetian blinds the ideal solution. They tone and blend with any colour wonderfully.
Venetian blinds made from real wood are an inexpensive luxury. For those who prefer to have a PVC blind for use in humid atmospheres such as kitchens or bathrooms but require wood a great alternative is a wood effect blind. Providing the practicality of PVC with the impression of real wood.

Real wood blinds have a special finish applied to them which helps reduce the appearance of scratches. The finish also helps to prevent fading from strong sunlight and reduce the risk of warping. Many people prefer a well worn look to blend naturally within their interior design style. This ‘used' appearance is ideal for homes which have a fashionable ‘shabby chic' interior design style.

Wooden Venetian blinds are made in different slat widths. Larger slats offer a more traditional appearance, however it should be realised that these styles of Venetian blinds generally take up more room at the top of the window when stacked open.

It is important that you make sure that you regularly clean your blinds in order to prevent dust or dirt building up. This can be done very quickly and simply by wiping them either with a soft brush or a soft clean duster. The third way to clean wooden venetian blinds is to use your vacuum cleaner to which the brush attachment has been joined.
You can wipe the blinds down using a damp cloth but never should you immerse them fully into water. If you do eventually water will be able to break through the seal of the wooden Venetian blind slats and this will cause them to warp. So to help remove any stubborn dirt or dust from the blinds you just need to wipe over the surface of the slats with a damp cloth with some detergent on it.
