Luxaflex: Go Classic and Decorate with White Wooden Blinds

In fashion, a classic white t-shirt or blouse is a must-have item in your wardrobe. You know the one – it works effortlessly with your favourite jeans to your refined tailored work suit. In interior design, white works just as well – it is one of those classic tones that can never go out of fashion. 

Go classic and invest in a stylish white wooden blind, a style choice that can appeal to the minimalist and traditionalist alike. For those who enjoy updating your home frequently, the classic white blind is a wonderfully adaptable option; and for those who like to keep it simple and consistent, these window treatments offer enduring style. Quality always pays off. Thanks to Luxaflex, they understand the art of window styling and their team agree that classic white wooden blinds can add to a clean uncluttered look, feel fresh and bright and also offer a great deal of privacy in any space. And regardless of the amount of sunlight or the size of your window aperture, a blind can work in every home. Where to use them White wooden blinds are the perfect solution for all kinds of rooms, as long as you begin with some simple considerations. If you are looking to use some traditional Venetian blinds, start with the size of the room and window. As a rule, the smaller the window the smaller the (wooden) slats on the blind should be, making it seem more in proportion with the frame and room itself.

However, also consider that wide slats have a shallower stack height and are worth considering if you want to allow as much light in as possible when you pull the blinds up to expose the window. Depending on the finish, real wooden blinds can be better suited to bedroom or living areas rather than bathrooms or kitchens. If you do want to use them in rooms where steam can be an issue, look for something durable and moisture-resistant such as form wood blinds, in PVC or a composite style. Blinds for large windows or conservatories can create a cool island style, especially appealing if you need to cool down a room from excessive thermal gain. Blinds made to measure will give you the best insulation but also a sense of quiet luxury, perfect in a simple minimal scheme. The flush finish is ideal for bathroom blinds where you want to keep in warmth and, as with kitchen blinds, it’s worth considering blinds that are easy to clean (perfect if you have any enthusiastic, messy cooks in the house).

Finishes and shades It’s all in the finish: Varnishes and stains in gloss, satin or matt can give a hugely varying effect, as will the selection of a modern blue-toned white or a softer and warmer, vintage white wooden blind. When considering how to choose the finish if you’re looking for a brighter, more sleek look then choose a smooth, flat coating that can be achieved with a sprayed finished. For more texture, a distressed or grained surface will add subtle interest without the distracting detail of a pattern. Finishing details are also key; a white wooden blind with tapes can be either edgy or subtle: try using a woven black, grey or wood tone to contrast or a pure white for a more ethereal look. Whichever detailing you choose, you’ll end up with a design classic you can enjoy for years to come.
