Blinds Shades

Matchstick blinds accent a variety of decor plans. Decorative styles do not limit the appropriateness of blinds. They are often called woven wood blinds and are often seen as an appropriate substitute for horizontal wood blinds. There aren’t many window coverings products that add a natural warmth to a room. They are typically limited to “real wood” products.

Variances between weaves of matchstick blinds allow for altering levels of light filtration. The tightness of the weave varies from a privacy weave to an open weave with many levels in between. While the tightness of the weave is a definite aspect of the function of the blind…it is also a design element. The visual look of the product changes as the tightness of the weave changes. The tightness of the weave also controls the amount of natural light that is added to any design space.

Matchstick blinds installation and operation is as simple as possible. Operation is a single movement; raising and lowering the blinds. They provide the light control and privacy that is necessary with the added bonus of aesthetics that many are looking for to accent their interior spaces.

Bamboo is a popular material for matchstick blinds. The term matchstick is applied to the product because of the shape of the pieces compiled to create the blind. A number of matchstick-like pieces of wood/bamboo are bound together into a unified, flat surface. This surface is then used as a window covering; fulfilling the function of blinds.

There are several different names used to refer to the products known by many as matchstick blinds. Some call them woven (woven wood blinds or woven wood shades). They are also sometimes called bamboo shades. It doesn’t matter what phrase people use to refer to the product. Matchstick blinds always provide a great combination: low price tag, ease of use, and style.

The natural design elements of matchstick blinds make them a favorite amongst designers. They have a natural, unique texture and beautiful, natural color variations. They are capable of adding warmth to a design space that many believe is unique to horizontal wood blinds. Matchstick blinds are often made of bamboo (a natural element that is coveted in many areas of interior design).

If consumers desire the many advantages of matchstick blinds they will find them accessible in any reputable dealer’s inventory. Reviews for the matchstick blinds products are consistently positive. Their ability to provide natural light and unique design advantages allows them to create an easy ambience in an interior space. And the drastic low prices are also a definite positive.

Are matchstick blinds the product you are in the market for? Make sure you ask for a sample to peruse the color/weave prior to ordering online. This will ensure that you get the quality product you are looking for. And it will also ensure that you are sure of exactly what it is you are getting before it’s all said and done.
