What they are

Real wood blinds for Howell living rooms and dens

Real wood blinds are made from genuine hardwood slats, so stains show natural grain and depth. They are lighter than faux wood, which makes wider blinds easier to raise and lower.

Wood fits a lot of Howell homes. In the older houses near downtown, a stained blind sits naturally beside original floors, trim and staircases. In newer homes out in the townships, wood blinds bring warmth to a den, a dining room with a tray ceiling or a living room with a fireplace, whether you choose a stain that echoes the floors or a crisp painted white to match the trim.

We carry real wood blinds from leading manufacturers, including Hunter Douglas, in several slat sizes, stains, paints and decorative tapes, with cordless lift on most sizes. On open lots where the sun comes in strong, a stain can look quite different at noon than at dusk, so we bring samples to see in each of your rooms before you decide.

  • Stained and painted finishes
  • Decorative tapes and matching valances

Where real wood blinds work best

Living & family rooms

Warm wood tones pair with hardwood floors and furniture.

Dens & studies

A classic, tailored look for offices and libraries.

Dining rooms

Stained or painted finishes for a finished, formal feel.

Bedrooms

Light control, privacy and style

What real wood blinds do for a room.

Light control

Tilt the slats to bounce daylight up to the ceiling or close them fully.

Privacy

Solid slats give dependable privacy when closed.

Custom finishes

Stains to match floors and cabinets, or paints to match trim.

Lighter weight

Wood is lighter than composite, so big blinds lift more easily.

Operating options & care

Cordless options and simple wood care

Real wood blinds can be ordered with a cord lift and wand tilt or with a cordless lift, which keeps the window clean-looking and removes cords where children and pets play. We’ll help you choose the right control for wide or tall windows.

Wood is best kept away from standing moisture, so for bathrooms and above kitchen sinks we usually suggest faux wood instead. To care for wood blinds, dust them regularly with a soft cloth or duster and avoid soaking the slats. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the finish you choose.

  • Cordless lift or cord and wand
  • Dust with a soft, dry cloth
  • Best kept out of steamy rooms

Real wood blind questions

Common questions from Howell homeowners about wood blinds.

Will wood blinds suit the original trim in an older Howell home near downtown?
Often, yes. Stained wood blinds sit naturally beside original floors and trim. We bring a range of stain samples to compare in your own light.
Can real wood blinds go on the wide windows in my Howell family room?
Usually. Real wood is lighter than faux wood, so wider blinds are easier to operate. For very wide windows we may suggest two or three blinds on one headrail. We measure and recommend the best setup.
Should I choose real wood or faux wood blinds?
Real wood is lighter and has natural grain that looks rich in stained finishes. Faux wood handles humidity better. Many homeowners use real wood in living areas and faux wood in kitchens, baths and laundry rooms.
Can real wood blinds be stained to match my floors?
Wood blinds come in a range of stains and paints. We bring samples so you can compare them to your floors, cabinets and trim in your own light.
How do I clean wood blinds?
Dust them regularly with a soft dry cloth or duster. Avoid soaking the slats; follow the care instructions for your finish.
