Yes, faux-wood blinds are good for the bedroom as long as you aren\u2019t trying to achieve a 100% full blackout. Faux wood blinds that are fitted correctly will reduce the light entering the room to almost zero, but if a total blackout in the bedroom is vital to allow you to sleep, faux wood blinds probably aren\u2019t the best pick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this blog post I will talk about the pros and potential cons of using faux wood blinds in the bedroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are faux wood blinds good for the bedroom if you want a total blackout?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Cream<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you want a total blackout in the bedroom<\/a>, faux wood blinds can\u2019t technically provide this. This is because of the tiny holes in the slats that the blind\u2019s lift cords pass through; even when the blind is fully closed, these can potentially let in tiny pinpricks of light. This means that they\u2019re \u201cdimout\u201d blinds rather than blackout blinds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you do get the chance to see a set of faux wood Venetian blinds<\/a> fully closed during the day, you might be surprised at how effectively they block the light; in fact, you may well have to wait for your eyes to acclimatise and then deliberately look for the lighter area of the blind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faux wood blinds with ladder tapes<\/a> rather than lift cords reduce any small amount of light leakage even further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are faux wood bedroom blinds suitable for children?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Cute<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Faux wood blinds are actually one of my top picks for children\u2019s bedrooms, for a couple of reasons. The first is that they\u2019re the most hardwearing type of blinds of all, which can be important when children get rowdy! They\u2019re also waterproof, which might come in handy if your children manage to spill or splatter anything in the direction of the blind; food, drink, paint, unspecified\u2026 Faux wood blinds can simply be wiped clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have slats that can be tilted to filter light when required rather than blocking it entirely. This might be useful during the day if your child is doing their homework in their bedroom (particularly on a laptop or tablet) to negate glare, and it can also allow you to allow a little light to enter the room at night if your child doesn\u2019t sleep well in the dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are faux wood blinds good for the bedroom if you are looking to improve the room\u2019s insulation?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Dark<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Faux-wood blinds are made of thick PVC, which is an excellent insulator. Particularly if you hang them inside of the window recess and ensure as close a fit as possible, they can greatly reduce the amount of heat lost<\/a> via the window, especially if the window is otherwise poorly insulated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will make the temperature of the room more ambient and can help to reduce your heating spend<\/a>. It also means that if you close the blinds during the summer<\/a>, this can help to keep your bedroom cooler throughout the day so that it is not so uncomfortable at bedtime too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
