There\u2019s not a definitive right or wrong answer here, it is more down to personal choice and the sort of effect you want to achieve. Also, whether or not wood blinds should match the floor and furniture may depend on how much wood is involved in the room as a whole, and if all of it matches without the blinds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having a wooden floor and painted wooden furniture is more common, and sometimes, having the floor in one wood and the furniture in another can work too, albeit this can be more of a challenge to pull off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should wooden blinds match the flooring and furniture then? My basic guidance is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
