How to choose the right wooden Venetian blind
Wooden blinds come in different colours and this will be your main deciding factor. However, there are other options to consider and we’d like to offer some guidance on what it means to you and your windows.
We are happy to send you a free sample so you can match the colour in your own home. Please bear in mind though that we make our blinds out of … well, wood! What that actually means is that you can get a variance in colour and grain, even between slats on the same blind and this is the beauty and appeal of wood.
The blinds' slat size
Wooden Venetians come in three slat sizes, 25mm, 35mm and 50mm (about 2 inches wide). The most popular wood slat size is 35mm at the moment. If you are buying for multiple windows then stick to the same slat size throughout the room and preferably house.It would be normal to use 50mm on a large window (say a patio door) and 50mm also offers a more colonial feel.25mm slats suit a smaller window, whilst 35mm seems to strike the best balance on most windows.Something you may need to consider is what is known as the “stack”. When you raise the blind the slats collect at the top of the window all bunched up. The smaller the slat size, the more slats you will need to cover the window, and so the bigger the stack when these are all pulled up. If you have fanlight windows these could be obstructed by the stack, so it may be better to go for 50mm over 25 or 35mm in this case.
