Putting up new blinds in your home can transform the way that your home feels and looks. When it comes to installing faux wood blinds in your home, there are various purchasing factors you are going to want to take into consideration to purchase the best possible blinds for your home.

Thing #1: Slate Size in Relation to Window Size

First, you are going to want to choose what size you want the slates to be. The slates are the individual parts of the blind. If you have a smaller window, you will probably want to stick with slates that are half-inch to an inch in size for the best visual appearance. If you have a medium or large window, you will want to go with larger slates, such as two to three-inch slates. Larger slates will look more proportional with larger windows.

Thing #2: Slate Size in Relation to Privacy & Sunlight

The size of the slates will impact your privacy and view. With smaller slats, when they are closed, more light will be blocked out, and you will be able to enjoy a higher degree of privacy. Larger slates are better if you want to enjoy more of a view and have your blinds open more than closed.

Thing #3: Get Rid of the Cord Holes

Another way to increase your privacy and get better control over the light that comes into your home is by choosing no-hole or route-less blinds. With these types of blinds, there is no large hole where the cord goes, allowing you greater control over the light and privacy of your home. You can also choose cloth tapes inside of cords, add a nice decorative element, and help eliminate intrusive holes in your blinds.

You may want to get rid of the cord altogether. You can go with cordless faux wood blinds if you don't want to deal with the safety hassle that a cord presents.

Thing #4: Carefully Choose Style & Color

Faux wood blinds come in many different colors, styles, and textures. You need to have an idea of what kind of wood feel you want in your home. You can go with soft, warmer wood tones for a more contemporary look. Or you can go with darker tones for a more formal feeling. You can even get faux wood blinds painted in colors such as cream, white, and blue, with the wood grain shining through for more visual variety.

When it comes to installing wood blinds in your home, in addition to proper measurements, you need to determine the size of the slates, if you want cord holes or cordless blinds, and what style and color blinds you want as well. Contact AAA Blind & Shutter Factory for more.
