Window Blind Options

Window blinds are a great way to control lighting and privacy in a room. They can also complement the décor in a room. There are many styles and materials to choose from. Here are a few common window blind options to consider.

Plastic Window Blinds

Plastic blinds tend to be the most commonly seen in homes, primarily because they are often the least expensive or easiest to find in-stock at hardware stores. They typically come in neutral colors and can be cut to fit the exact window sizes. They provide privacy but are not great for blocking out sunlight. Plastic blinds also tend to break easily with repeated use.

Aluminum Blinds

Aluminum blinds are more durable than plastic. They normally come in solid colors and offer a neutral and sleek look. They can be easily cleaned and even painted, if needed. They do a better job than plastic blinds in blocking out light.

Wood Blinds

Wood blinds offer more warmth than plastic or aluminum blinds, thus they are among the most popular window blind options. They block out light reasonably well. In addition to solid colors, they also come in natural colors and materials, such as bamboo. This makes them an eco-friendly alternative. However, because they are made of wood, they are not great for moist environments.

Faux Wood Blinds

Faux wood blinds offer the look and style of wood but with more durability. They can be used in kitchens and baths, where humidity may be a concern. They also come in a range of colors.

Fabric Window Blinds

Fabric blinds provide texture and depth, in addition to a variety of colors and patterns. They are among the most trendy of the window blind options. Fabric blinds can greatly complement the décor of a room and even make it feel cozy. Some materials are better at blocking out light and providing privacy than others.
