Faux Wood Blinds Near San Antonio & Boerne, TX

Improve the interiors of your home by adding beautiful blinds.

At Blinded by Delight, we know that genuine wood blinds are great—but they aren’t practical for every home and need. When you want the look of authentic hardwood without the maintenance requirements, faux wood blinds are for you. Alternative wood blinds are more resilient and budget-friendly than their hardwood counterparts and are great options for rooms such as kitchens and bathrooms, or any other high-traffic space.

Benefits of Alternative Wood Blinds

The most obvious perk of faux wood blinds is that they are not made of wood, so they can withstand exposure to heat and humidity without being damaged. This makes faux wood blinds perfect for any room, including kitchens, bathrooms, and basements. Composite wood blinds can also stand up to hot, humid climates. You’ll never have to worry about your blinds cracking, peeling, or warping due to exposure to the elements.

You also have a more extensive selection of colors and finishes when choosing composite wood blinds. Authentic hardwood is available in several stains and a few solid paint colors, but faux wood blinds can be any color of the rainbow or have a stain-like finish. EverWood® Alternative Wood Blinds from Hunter Douglas are available in Tru-Grain™ Finish, which is the most realistic stain-like finish available in the industry.

Graber®

Lake Forest® Faux Wood Blinds from Graber® are made using extra-strong PVC. You can opt for blinds without route holes for increased light control and privacy or use decorative cloth tape to cover the holes. Graber® also offers Traditions Composite Blinds made of a lightweight polymer composite. Graber® composite wood blinds are some of the lightest available and offer the look of hardwood combined with the easy care of modern materials.

Hunter Douglas

EverWood® Alternative Wood Blinds are a great addition to laundry rooms and sunrooms. They feature de-Light™ technology which eliminates cord holes to block 50% more sunlight than traditional faux wood blinds. EverWood® Alternative Wood Blinds come in an array of colors, including whites, neutrals, and grays to fit any interior design. Choose between 2-inch and 2.5-inch slats to meet your privacy needs. Wider slats mean fewer gaps for unwanted light, and gazes from neighbors, to sneak through.

Choosing the Right Faux Wood Blinds

Once you’ve decided on faux wood blinds, you’ll need to consider what style and color you’d like to go with. Darker colors are great to make more open spaces feel cozier and more welcoming. A dark shade can also be a nice contrast in a more masculine aesthetic. On the flip side, a lighter color is perfect for small rooms as they make spaces feel larger. Hanging your blinds higher than the window frame is another way to make rooms feel more spacious. They will draw the eye upward which will give the illusion of taller ceilings.

When it comes to slat sizes, thinner slats look best in classic, traditional settings. Opt for wider slats if you will hang your blinds in a more modern, contemporary space. You can also rest easy knowing your alternative wood blinds are easy to care for and maintain. You can keep your blinds looking great by wiping the slats with a soft, dry cloth once a week or whenever you dust your home. If you find stubborn grime or fingerprints, you can use a damp cloth and solution of warm water and mild detergent without the fear of damaging your window treatments. You can even give your alternative wood blinds a swim in your bathtub if they require deep cleaning.

Here’s the ideal option for kitchens, bathrooms, and other rooms with a lot of sunlight and humidity: Alta® Faux Wood Blinds. They’re made from natural-hued wood grains and solid colors but are as tough as vinyl. The company builds them out of strong, engineered polymer material; you can rely on them not to fade, chip, or crack.
