Wooden Blinds vs Roman Blinds

Should I Invest in Wooden Blinds or Roman Blinds? 

For those of you looking to add a sense of style to your windows, the go-to option is usually blinds. It sounds like a simple decision, but that’s not always the case. Blinds come in all sorts of designs and are governed by multiple factors; the room you’re placing them, the size you need, and how you want them to look.

Often the choice comes down to whether you want wooden blinds or Roman blinds. The names might be interchangeable to many, but there are key differences and each option has its benefits. Let’s take a look at both of these blinds to help you decide which one would suit your home.

Roman Blinds

Roman blinds are defined as a hybrid of both a curtain and a blind. They’re very flexible and stylish, which makes them the perfect blind for a variety of homes. You can create Roman blinds that fit your style and taste depending on the fabric you select. There are nearly unlimited options of designs to choose from.

In recent years, Roman blinds have become a very popular choice across homes in the UK. Its mechanism also means you control the levels of privacy you want, restricting the view of those looking in. You can also collect the blind at the top of the window when you want an uninterrupted view. Roman blinds can be made to measure so they can perfectly frame your windows. 

Wooden Blinds

Wooden blinds are made of wood. That probably won’t come as a huge surprise to you, but it means that it’s a term that covers a multitude of styles. If they’re blinds and they’re made of wood, then they’re classed as wooden blinds; whether they are horizontal or vertical, or even shutters. Wooden blinds offer increased privacy and can last for a very long time.

Wood is a relatively low maintenance material, so other than a regular dusting, you can pretty much forget about them once installed. Wood is also a good insulator, so helps you to retain heat in your home. You’ll feel the benefit of this in the winter months which will contribute to lowering your energy costs.

Which One Will You Choose? 

As we said at the beginning, the choice between wooden or Roman blinds often comes down to a simple question of preference. They share a lot of the same qualities and both will look stunning in your home. Only you can decide which is the right option for your home, but it’s a decision that will look great whatever you decide.
