Faux Wood Blinds Colors and Textures

Although faux wood blinds are made of either composite blends or pure PVC, they can look just like real wood blinds. Improvements in manufacturing and textures have resulted in faux wood blinds that are amazingly realistic. Because they are not entirely wood, however, you have the option of choosing faux wood blinds that blend into a more modern décor rather than settling with only wood grains and colors.

If you've chosen faux wood blinds because they resist moisture and warping, but still want the look of traditional wood blinds or shutters, you're in luck. Not only do faux wood blinds come in textures and grains that closely resemble real wood, they also come in a wide variety of stains that help you match your faux wood blinds to your existing décor. You can choose faux wood blinds that match everything from pine and maple to darker stains of cherry or walnut. These really are the ideal choice if you're looking for a more cost-effective, moisture resistant alternative to traditional wood blinds.

You can also keep the look of wood grain but choose a color instead of a traditional stain. Although some manufacturers have limited color choices, you do have the option of choosing a faux wood blind in colors other than wood stains. Different brands offer different choices but most offer a variety of neutral colors as well as options in yellows, reds, and browns.

If your décor is more modern or light, you may want to go with a faux wood blind that isn't necessarily structured to look like wood. Moderate texture and smooth lines combined with a white finish can be the perfect choice for a more contemporary room or home or coordinating with furniture like sofa beds or other decor. These faux wood blinds still provide resistance to moisture while maintaining the weighted look of real wood without the grains or finishes. Their thick slats provide the look of plantation shutters but the lighter colors and smoother textures help keep them looking modern and sleek.

By combining the right textures and colors, faux wood blinds can give you the perfect, durable alternative to traditional wooden window treatments.
