Manufactured using high-quality components throughout and premium quality wood sourced from sustainable forests, they're built to last and guaranteed to bring an unmistakable feel of quality to any home.

What are the Benefits of Wooden Blinds?

  • They give you complete control over both light control and privacy control. Their horizontal wooden slats can be tilted to any angle allowing you to precisely adjust the amount of natural light entering the room, or fully raised to enjoy an unobstructed view outside. They also provide complete privacy when fully lowered.
  • Handcrafted from premium-grade woods including basswood, bamboo and Abachi, our high-quality made-to-measure wooden blinds are extremely durable. They’re a long-lasting choice for any home and able to withstand the rigours of daily wear and tear. They will maintain their appearance and silky-smooth operation for many years. Their robust construction also means we can manufacture them in extra-large sizes.
  • They’re easy to clean, a quick dusting or wipe down with a damp cloth will keep them looking as good as new. Their slats are kiln-dried to resistant warping and twisting and specially treated to prevent fading, so they're a low-maintenance and easy-care option.
  • They help to regulate your home's temperature with their natural insulating properties and slatted design. The wood acts as a buffer against heat and cold by reducing heat transfer at the windows, whilst the slats allow for airflow to circulate. Keeping your living space comfortable all year round, leading to greater energy efficiency and lower energy costs.
  • All of our wooden slatted blinds are crafted from 100% natural wood sourced from forests that prioritize sustainability. The timber is harvested in a way that preserves the health of the surrounding ecosystem for future generations. They’re a luxurious and eco-friendly natural product that promotes responsible forestry.
  • They complement all types of interior décor. With such a wide range of painted wood colours, organic grains and textured finishes to choose from, it's easy to find the perfect look for your home.
  • Each wooden blind has its own unique look. As wood is a natural product, no two blinds will have the same grain, pattern, or texture, so you're purchasing a truly one-of-a-kind product. The unique variations in the wood grain will bring visual interest and character to any room.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are they a good idea?
Yes, if using natural sustainable materials matters to you, you need to precisely control privacy and filter the light, and you want to achieve a premium, high-quality look in the wood colour/finish and style of your choice.
How much on average are wooden blinds?
This will depend on various factors such as the size of your window, the type of and quality of the wood you choose, and whether they’re a premium quality custom-made product. As a guide, here are some broad average prices for high-quality made-to-measure wooden blinds: £12 for the smallest sized window, £78 for an average-sized window (120cm x 120cm), and up to £350 for the very largest sized window.
Do they keep out the cold?
Yes, wooden blinds are a good natural insulator and when their slats are closed and aligned snugly, they can make a marked difference to the ambient temperature of your room during winter. Potentially even allowing you to turn down the heating a notch. They also insulate against the rays of the sun during the summer, helping to keep your home feeling cooler and more comfortable.
How easy is it to fit wooden blinds?
Installing wooden blinds is a straightforward and easy process. No special tools or expertise are needed, even DIY newbies can tackle it quite comfortably in under half an hour, even on the first go, and much faster for further blinds once you’ve got the hang of it.
Which is better PVC blinds or wooden blinds?
Both have their pros and cons. PVC faux wooden blinds are a practical and more budget-friendly solution, especially for humid areas such as the bathroom and kitchen. They’re water-resistant, extremely durable and easy to clean. They do however lack the natural charm and warmth of real wood. Wooden blinds, on the other hand, provide a timeless and elegant look with their organic natural charm along with their eco-friendly properties. Whilst more expensive and susceptible to moisture damage. The choice between the two ultimately depends on your budget, the room's location and aesthetic preferences.
Are they expensive?
Wooden blinds are generally more expensive than faux wooden blinds due to the cost of sustainably sourcing, harvesting and producing the wood. Compared to plantation shutters however, they’re significantly cheaper yet offer a similar aesthetic with greater versatility in both light and privacy control. Whilst more expensive than faux wooden blinds, they’re a worthwhile investment due to their versatility, warmth and all-round natural beauty and aesthetic appeal.
Do they reduce heat?
Yes, wooden blinds help reduce heat in the room due to wood's natural insulating properties and their ability to precisely control and block sunlight. They create a barrier between the window and the room, keeping heat out in summer. By adjusting the angle of the slats, you can control the amount of sunlight entering the room keeping it cooler. Overall, they are a good option for regulating temperature in your home, particularly high-quality made-to-measure wooden blinds that fit well with minimal gaps.
How do I clean wooden blinds?
To clean wooden blinds, regularly dust them with a feather duster, soft cloth, or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment. For a more thorough, deeper clean, use a slightly damp cloth with no strong detergents and wipe gently in the direction of the slats, starting from the centre and working outward. Open the slats horizontally for easier access. Be careful not to soak the wood, especially at the ends. Next, turn the slats round so the opposite side of the slats are visible and repeat.
For blinds with cord or fabric cotton tape, you can spot-clean them with a damp cloth or use a fabric cleaner for a deeper clean. Special-made blind cleaners can also be used, but always test them in an inconspicuous area first. Be sure to dry the blinds thoroughly after cleaning with dust-free cloths.

Do they warp in the sun?
Wooden blinds made from premium-grade wood and properly treated will not warp in the sun. Warping occurs when moisture is present in the wood and is then drawn out by exposure to the sun which causes the wood to twist and warp. This is only an issue in some ready-made and cheaper-quality wooden blinds. That’s why it's important to buy wooden blinds made from suitable hardwoods, such as basswood or bamboo that have been kiln-dried to ensure maximum stability.
Are they fashionable?
Wooden blinds are a timeless and classic window treatment that never goes out of style. Collections are regularly updated to reflect the latest colour trends in interior design ensuring they’re always in fashion. Their popularity has also increased among consumers who are looking for sustainable, ethical and eco-friendly ways to bring style and functionality to their windows.
Can you see through them?
No. If the blind is fully closed with the slats all lying flush against one another, and the blind has been made to fit your window, you cannot see through wooden blinds. Even the holes in the slats where the lift cords run are too small for anyone to see inside, and if you have wooden blinds with tapes these holes are not visible at all.
Do they fade?
They may fade over time, but modern high-quality wooden blinds are treated to resist fading so this will usually occur so slowly as to be virtually unnoticeable. In most cases, the blinds will have been replaced or updated due to redecorating before it’s noticeable. The extent of any fading will depend on factors such as the exposure to sun and the colour of the blind. Fading is less likely if the blinds are fully open during peak sunlight, are lighter in colour or have a natural wood finish.
Should I buy them with or without tapes?
Wooden blinds without tapes offer a more natural, seamless appearance that highlights the texture, grain and natural beauty of wood. Wooden blinds with tapes make the tapes a design element which can either coordinate or contrast with the wood whilst giving them a softer appearance. It’s largely a matter of personal preference though as to which look you prefer.
Do they block out light?
Wooden blinds block out light very effectively when they’re fully closed. They don’t however block out as much light as a blackout blind. Their slats are opaque, so no light passes through, but there is a small amount of light visible where the slats overlap when closed and around the sides of the blind. Having said that, they will significantly darken a room and create a dark enough environment suitable for most people to sleep.
How long do they last?
Made-to-measure wooden blinds are crafted with premium quality materials like basswood and bamboo and are designed to withstand daily use. They can last for many years, at least a decade or more, with proper care and maintenance. Readymade wooden blinds, however, are less durable and may start to fail within a couple of years. Some factors that influence the lifespan of wooden blinds include the frequency of use, the level of care and exposure to moisture.
Do they go mouldy?
Wooden blinds are not prone to mould in dry rooms such as living rooms, bedrooms, and dining rooms. However, if your home is damp or if they’re installed in humid environments such as bathrooms and kitchens, they may well develop mildew over time. Always invest in good-quality, ethically produced wooden blinds treated with a mould-resistant coating and use them in appropriate rooms. Proper humidity control and mould prevention in your home will also help keep your blinds in good condition for longer. Cleaning them regularly will help prevent mould. If mould develops, use a wood-safe cleaner, improve ventilation, and avoid exposing them directly to water. For areas with high humidity and moisture, waterproof faux wood blinds are a great alternative.
