What would look better, bamboo or wood blinds?
stranger Want’s to know:
Would be for the hall. The layers are chocolate color, so are the tables in the side and the centre (just a little darker). The blind of timber would be the same color of the layers. The blind bamboo would be a dark beige, with drawings of color of chocolate, those abbinerebbero layers. By the way, we have two window in the lounge un'grande one and a smaller. What do you think? What do you think osservereste better? I was thinking about the contrast too. And yeah, you're kind of right, if I go for wood that osserverebbe too dark.

I would go with white. You have too much dark.

bamboo would look better, plus they are from a renewable source which is more friendly to the environment.

i say bamboo because they are hard to break and they look really good

I say go for the one that does not match the other colors to closely.. you want people to notice the blinds… but at the same time.. you don’t want window covers that say “look at me” in a bad, gawdy.. ugly way…

Bamboo. I think it’s good to go lighter in the windows… makes the room look bigger.

I think the bamboo blinds because you don’t want the room to be to dark. Add alittle contrast.

I would have the bamboo blinds. The dark beige would break the chocolate colour from the couches, yet with the designs makes it match. Bamboo might be more expensive but if so, definitely worth it! Hope it goes well!

I think that the bamboo would be more visually interesting, and not too matchy-matchy with the couches.
It depends, though, on the overall look you’re going for. If your look is “country”, then bamboo would just be weird! If you’re going for a contemporary (Pottery Barn-esque) look or an Asian-influenced “zen retreat” feel, then I think bamboo blinds would definitely be the best fit.

I have been looking at new homes recently and they have the 2″ wood blinds in them and I have fallen in love with them. They block out light real well and look very nice. The bamboo blinds seem easy to fray, not as clean looking as wood blinds. Good Luck
