The Advantages Of Choosing Window Blinds By A Shade Better

Sep 28, 2016

Once blinds are installed in your home, the first thing you will notice is you have more control over the sunlight and how it enters your room. For instance, some window blinds have slats that close tighter than others (often referred to as “routeless”), minimizing the amount of light that is able to enter the room. Routeless blinds might be a good option for bedrooms, or a room with a home theater setup where light can reflect off the screen. Routeless blinds are explained in greater detail here.

Wood Blinds

Wood blinds are available in a huge selection of colors, patterns and styles. This allows you to create the perfect look for any room in your home, including your bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, dining and living room. A Shade Better offers a wide variety of blinds, including Hunter Douglas’s Parkland, Scenic, Classics, Textures and Weathered lines. We also carry Comfortex, Vista, and American Classic branded blinds.

Parkland Scenic blinds feature 100% basswood, and include a lovely mixture of stains and paints, creating a gorgeous wood grain. The color palette of the Parkland Scenic blinds features neutral whites and grays, which complement modern cabinetry and furniture colors.

Parkland Weathered wood blinds also feature abachi wood. This collection presents a delicate texture that is wire-brushed onto the wood. This option will bring a lovely surface texture and depth to your windows.
