Frequently Asked Questions

Are black wooden blinds a good idea?
Absolutely. Black wooden blinds are a striking and sophisticated way to bring a timeless, natural look to your home while providing precise light and privacy control. Their dark, neutral tones mean they work well in practically any setting, whether contemporary or traditional. They’re particularly effective at creating a sense of drama and intimacy, making them a great choice for bedrooms and living rooms.
Do black wooden blinds make a room hotter?
Black wooden blinds can potentially make a room feel warmer, especially on sunny days. Black surfaces absorb more light and heat than lighter colours, and this absorbed energy can be radiated into the room, particularly in sunny spaces. This, in turn, may raise the room's temperature or stop it from dropping as fast as it otherwise would. If you prefer to keep the room cool, consider lighter-coloured blinds.
Are black wooden blinds trendy?
Yes, they’re extremely popular and on-trend. They’re the perfect way to bring a sleek, modern look to a room and create a striking contrast against lighter walls and furnishings. You can think of them as the "little black dress" of window treatments—timeless, versatile, and always chic. Their versatility means they can ground a space, create a sense of drama, or add a touch of elegance. Whether you choose real wood for a natural feel or faux wood for durability, black wooden blinds are a trend that’s here to stay.
Do black wooden blinds make a room dark?
As any dark colour does, black wooden blinds contribute to making a room darker, especially if the windows are large, creating a big expanse of black. However, they won’t achieve a complete blackout. Even with the slats fully closed, some light will seep through the small gaps between the slats and around the sides of the blind. If you’re looking to darken the room in a chic and stylish way, black wooden blinds do an excellent job of significantly reducing light levels and creating a more intimate and cosier ambience.
Do black wood blinds show dust easily?
As with most dark surfaces, light dust can be more noticeable. However, if you give them a regular light dusting, with a microfiber cloth or a soft vacuum brush, they’ll stay in tip-top condition and dust-free.
Do they provide a blackout effect?
Whilst the black slats are opaque and block almost all external light when closed, the blinds themselves are not technically "blackout." There will be some "light leakage" around the edges of the blind and where the slats overlap. The dark colour, however, absorbs more light than any other shade, creating a darker, restful environment.
