Design Inspiration for Wood Blinds

I've just finished the all-important window treatment decorations throughout my house and thought I'd share some insight. I've decided to go with wood blinds throughout the house using the Smith and Noble web site to custom design them for each room. This is for those of you searching for a little inspiration or some ideas on how to style wood blinds for your home!


I'll start with my living room. This is probably the most exciting style I've tried. Instead of just blinds, I decided to layer my window treatments combining natural wood blinds with deep plum panels. The style adds a dramatic effect to the room without overwhelming you in its sheer height.




In the kitchen I kept it somewhat lighter. The inspiration for the lighter wood blinds came from the tiles. Hints of light tan tiles are speckled along the wall above the counter. The wood blinds control the level of natural lighting pouring in during the day.





Decorating my own bedroom, I went with a light green set of wood blinds. The color accents the natural wood window framing like moss on a tree. A pleasant site, even if there's nothing but urban buildings outside your window!




Remember, wood blinds don't have to look like something out of an old Western flick. They can have a beautiful look to compliment what ever style you go choose.

Hopefully this was helpful and inspiration for you. Cheers!
