What Are Wood Blinds?

Wood blinds are horizontal slatted blinds made from real wood or wood-look materials. The slats tilt open and closed to control:

• Privacy – close them fully for complete coverage

• Light – angle the slats to let in soft daylight

• View – raise the blind for a clear, open window

They’re ideal if you want the warmth and character of wood trim with the everyday function of a blind.

Real Wood vs Faux Wood Blinds

At Blinds Concept, we offer both real wood blinds and faux wood blinds, so you can match the right product to each room in your home.

Real Wood Blinds

Best for living rooms, dining rooms, offices, bedrooms and feature windows.

• Made from lightweight natural wood, ideal for larger windows 

• Show beautiful natural grain, knots and variations – each blind is unique 

• Add instant warmth and richness to any décor

• Excellent light control and privacy with tilting slats 

Faux Wood Blinds

Best for bathrooms, kitchens and high-humidity or heavy-use areas.

• Made from durable composite / synthetic materials that mimic real wood 

• More resistant to moisture, warping and staining – great near sinks, tubs and stoves 

• Easy to clean – just wipe and go

• A smart, budget-friendly way to get the wood look in tough environments

Many homeowners in Halifax, Dartmouth, Bedford, Charlottetown and Moncton choose real wood blinds in living spaces and faux wood blinds in kitchens and baths for the best mix of style and performance.

Why Homeowners Love Wood Blinds

1. Warm, Natural Aesthetic

Wood instantly warms up a room, adding depth and character that aluminum or plain vinyl blinds can’t match. The natural grain pairs beautifully with:

• Hardwood floors

• Wood furniture

• White trim and modern paint colours

• Coastal, modern farmhouse, traditional or contemporary interiors

2. Flexible Light & Privacy Control

With a simple tilt of the slats, you can:

• Let in soft daylight

• Reduce glare on screens and surfaces

• Maintain privacy without fully darkening the room

Fully closed, wood blinds provide excellent privacy and room darkening, especially when paired with side panels or drapery for a more layered look. 

3. Natural Insulation

Wood is a natural insulator, helping your home feel more comfortable year-round by blocking direct sun and reducing heat gain or loss at the window. Combined with proper installation and good window sealing, wood blinds can contribute to better energy performance compared to basic vinyl or aluminum blinds. 

4. Long-Lasting Quality

High-quality wood and faux wood blinds are built to last, with sturdy slats and proven hardware systems that stand up to daily use for many years. With basic dusting and occasional wiping, they maintain their good looks and smooth operation over time. Blinds To Go+1
