Wood blinds, with a real grain and finish.
Wood blinds bring natural warmth and an authentic finish to any room. We help you select the right species and slat size to give you beautiful light control and a view you will love.
More room for your view
A wider slat creates a more open, airy feel. We help you choose a size that clears your window handles while providing the privacy and light control you want for your space.
Warmth for your living spaces
Real wood is a natural material that thrives in dry living spaces. For bathrooms or areas prone to heavy splashing, we suggest a different, moisture-tolerant material to keep your blinds beautiful.

A timber choice and an operating system
Your choice of wood finish gives your home its unique character. However, the headrail and lift system must be just as reliable.
A stunning blind needs to be light enough to lift and easy to tilt throughout your busy day. On wide windows, consider a split design for better handling.
We help you plan the layout that works for you.
- 01

See how different stains and wood species look in your home. Light changes the appearance of wood throughout the day, so checking samples in your specific space is the best way to choose.
- 02
Plan tilt and raised positions
We look at your window layout and how you live. Whether you prefer a motorized tilt or a simple lift, we ensure the hardware works smoothly with your chosen wood species.
- 03

Choose a wood that complements your home decor, paired with a reliable system for easy daily use.
Basswood, species and grain
Basswood is a reliable choice, but we can explore other species to find the right look for your room. The natural texture of the wood interacts with your light, creating a warm, organic feel.
Stains and paints
Stains highlight the wood's beauty, while painted finishes offer a clean, solid look. Compare both in your own natural light to find the tone that truly feels right in your space.
Slat widths and control choices
Select your preferred slat width. We can help you choose a lift system strong enough for your wood blinds.
Explore the optionsGood uses and limitations
Natural wood is a timeless, beautiful choice for your home. Understanding where it works best helps you create a warm, inviting atmosphere in every room you choose to cover.
Living rooms and studies
Wood blinds offer sophisticated light control for your common areas. Use them to manage glare while keeping your space bright and comfortable throughout the day, fitting naturally with your existing decor.
Not ideal for wet or persistently humid openings
Direct water and high humidity can affect the finish and shape of real wood. For kitchens or bathrooms, consider our faux wood ranges that offer similar beauty with superior moisture resistance.
Explore the optionsNot a one-piece answer to every wide window
Every wood range has specific weight limits. If your window is very wide, a split-blind layout often performs better and is easier for you to use every single day.

Measuring and installationFrequently asked
Are all wood blinds made from basswood?
No. While we often use basswood, other species are available. Ask about the specific wood in your chosen range, as the grain and weight differ across our collection to give you the exact look you want.
Will the stain match my flooring?
Check our samples in your room lighting. Natural wood tones change significantly based on your home's finish and window orientation. Testing samples in your space is the best way to choose a tone you love.
Can I use real wood blinds in a bathroom?
We recommend avoiding real wood in damp rooms to protect the finish. Our faux wood ranges are a perfect alternative if you love the wood look but need moisture resistance for your bathroom windows.
What is the maximum wood blind width?
Limits vary by manufacturer and slat size. If your window is very wide, we check if multiple units offer better function and durability for your home, making it easier to manage your light.
Are wood blinds blackout?
They are excellent for privacy, but they don't seal out every ray of light. If you need complete darkness for sleeping, we recommend pairing them with a blackout shade or lined drapery layer.
Can wood blinds be cordless or motorized?
Yes, many options are available. We ensure the motor is rated for the weight of your chosen wood, keeping your operation smooth and reliable for your home's specific size and power needs.
How should I clean a stained blind?
Use a gentle duster and follow the care guide for your specific wood finish. Avoid moisture and household sprays, as these can damage the stain. Simple, regular dusting keeps your blinds beautiful for years.
Can a worn tilt mechanism be replaced?
It is often possible if we can identify the model. Tell us about the problem before attempting a repair, and we can help you find the best solution for your specific blinds.
