What are the Types of Blinds?

If it’s been a while since you went shopping for blinds, you may wonder what blinds are available. Blinds are available in various materials, and we share the different types and benefits for your NYC home.

Wood blinds are likely part of your vision when you picture an attractive room with timeless décor. Wood blinds have an inimitable charm that imparts a welcoming warmth into a space. Few materials are as adaptable as hardwood, so you can easily use wood blinds throughout your home. When designing your wood window blinds, you can choose from stain or paint finishes to suit your apartment’s interior design. Lighter stains, like oak, look fantastic in open, airy spaces. Use a darker stain, such as cherry or mahogany, to bring a refined style to formal or intimate rooms.

Wood blinds look phenomenal in every design style. Stain finishes are ideal for traditional and rustic rooms, and painted wood blinds, especially white ones, are a perfect accent for homes with farmhouse or French country styles.

Will your bathroom or kitchen design fall short of perfection without wood blinds? Wood blinds can be susceptible to moisture damage, but faux wood ones are not. You can substitute faux wood blinds for hardwood in any setting, and no one will be the wiser. Hang faux wood blinds in your bathroom to enjoy an upscale aesthetic without worries of warping or cracking slats.

Aluminum blinds are synonymous with sleek design. They’re lightweight and moisture-resistant, which makes them ideal for bathrooms and kitchens. Metal blinds are easy to care for and exceptionally durable so that they can go head-to-head with your busy kids or pets. With an extensive range of colors and textures, aluminum blinds are an excellent option for minimalist, contemporary, and industrial interiors.

Aluminum blinds are the only Venetian blinds available in micro ½” wide slats, making them a fantastic choice for your home’s narrow windows. You can enjoy aluminum blinds on standard and bay windows, French doors, and sidelights, giving your home a united design style effortless.

We can’t discuss blinds without mentioning vertical options for oversized windows and doors. Vertical blinds are available in several materials and styles, including sheer, vinyl, and aluminum. They can mimic the appearance of sumptuous drapery and blend beautifully with every décor style. The vanes of vertical blinds rotate 180°, giving you unmatched light control and privacy options. We recommend gliding window panels if you have a unique style and want statement-making vertical blinds.
