Sure, wood blinds look nice but so do faux wood blinds and unless you look really close you can barely tell the difference. Beyond that faux wood blinds have some distinct advantages which I will attempt to enumerate.

First, faux wood blinds, which come in vinyl or wood composite, are significantly less expensive then their wood cousins. A brand to brand comparison reveals almost a 50% savings. If you were interested in purchasing new blinds for your entire house that kind of savings would be considerable.

Second, faux wood blinds are more durable, they won’t warp, ***** or split even in humid and hot areas. So, even if you want to go with real wood blinds, I would still recommend faux wood blinds for rooms with a lot of moisture like bathrooms and kitchens. If you live in the humid states of the South- and Northeast, faux wood blinds can save you a lot of heartache.

Third, faux wood blinds are easier to clean than real wood blinds. Sure, both can be dusted. Admittedly, there’s no difference there. But, if you really want to clean your faux wood blinds, you can take them down and dip them in a bathtub of soapy water, or take them outside and hose them down. Don’t try that with real wood blinds.

Fourth, faux wood blinds come in all the same stains, painted colors and even textures that real wood blinds offer. So you aren’t giving up anything from a decorating standpoint. Additionally, they come with all the same options: valances, noholes for tighter closure, cloth tapes, routeless and even motorized. Additionally, as an added bonus, most of the faux wood blinds are UV stabilized, meaning that that the colors won’t fade. This is great if you live in the desert Southeast, places like Arizona and Nevada.

All the major manufacturers, Bali, Hunter Douglas, Levolor, Comfortex, etc., offer faux wood blinds but if you are willing to purchase a non-name brand, most of the online vendors have what they call a “signature line.” These blinds are made by the major manufacturers minus the label and are even more affordable. Who looks at the labels anyway?

Buying wood blinds used to be quite an investment. But that is less true now. With the faux wood option coupled with the various discount internet retailers, you can outfit your entire home for a lot less. This is a great way of sprucing-up the look of your home. And, let’s face it, with the home market in the state it is a lot more people are being forced to keep their existing home.
