Wood Blinds

Wood Blinds Are a Timeless and Classic Window Treatment

Traditional styling and rich hardwood slats let wood blinds complement any room. Fashioned to a warm home with a rustic charm, they are available in a variety of colors including oak and cherry wood. Wood blinds have distinctive grain patterns, knots and natural colorization.

Why Would One Consider a Wood Blind Versus a Faux Blind?

First, a wood blind is natural and is very rich looking by its nature. The faux blinds have come a long way and look like a wood blind, but the wood blind does stand out on its own.

In terms of weight, a wood blind is very light in comparison to a faux blind. It’s not to say that you should consider raising and lowering the wood blinds just because they are lighter than a faux wood. In fact, we highly recommend that any 2 inch wood or faux wood blind be in the down position with the slats open or closed. Wood or faux wood blinds just are not meant to be raised and lowered on a regular basis.

A third aspect of the wood blind is simply its durability. It obviously comes from a tree and it is strong in nature and would take a lot to ruin or damage one.

A fourth aspect is the wide range of colors available. Customers can find every assortment of white to an array of stains.

If your home has some built in natural wood work or crown molding, then a stain can work very well and blend in nicely with the décor of the home.

A final aspect and somewhat alluded to above is the privacy aspect of the wood blind. When in the down position as recommended and the slats are tilted open, there is a level of privacy because there is something covering the window. For extra privacy and light control, then the slats can be tilted in a downward position.

Final Thought

When it comes to areas with high humidity, 15 years ago we would have suggested stay away from putting these products in areas like the bathroom or kitchen. However, as time has gone on and manufacturers have improved, warping is no longer an issue to worry about with humidity.

Their designer came to the house... on our schedule. We also went to their store to see the blinds we wanted on display. Once we placed the order, the blinds came in very quickly and were professionally installed. They exceeded our expectations and were more than fair on the pricing. I would recommend this company to anyone.

I use Sunshine for all my window dressings. They are stellar from sales to install... Perfect example of excellence in how a company should take care of your needs. The products they provide are exceptional quality. If you treasure in how you are cared for, choose Sunshine. They have earned my five stars.

The draperies were everything I had hoped for — beautifully made, hang perfectly and look fantastic. The quality is excellent and I’m sure these will look great for many years to come. Most definitely worth the investment. Plus the service they provide is also great. The guys that installed my draperies were professionals. They both told me they have worked for Sunshine for many years and that tells me a lot about a company.

I used Sunshine Drapery for all of the window treatments of my new house. They installed plantation shutters and will soon be installing the remainder of the shades and curtains. Everyone I have interacted with was very pleasant and helpful. The designer was wonderful. The in home consultation was thorough... I love the way my house looks and I think you will too!

Been a customer since 1996. The quality and customer service have continued to be excellent over the years. I have never had buyer’s remorse after purchasing from Sunshine. They stand behind their products and services. I have always felt they wanted me to be a happy and satisfied customer.

We could not be more happy with the our purchase of Plantation Shutters we had installed throughout our new home. From the options the designer was able to offer, to the extreme care that the installer took while in our home, was perfect. Thank you for creating a culture in your company of great care and customer service. We will be back again.

The decorator helped me design custom drapes in my combined kitchen/living room area, and custom crescent shaped valances for my great room. ...I have to say, she is the most fun person to work with! Fun to chat with, knowledgeable, flexible, detailed, and, oh, so, thorough. She was patient when I was having a hard time deciding, she was conscientious about our budget, as well, and, I really appreciated that. I loved working with her, and am enjoying our new window treatments!

Very professional, quick to respond, understood what I wanted and gave excellent advice. My drapes are beautiful and I am impressed. I received a response to my initial email within minutes (on a Sunday!), got an appointment quickly and drapes were delivered and installed when promised. I was very comfortable with them in my home. I highly recommend Sunshine

We had a designer come out to help us with custom bedding, throw pillows and 3 small upholstery projects. She was great - patient and helped us come up with ideas and helped us make sure everything would work. When we received the items, we were even more happy! All the custom pieces fit perfectly and pulled the room together in a way we could never have imagined on our own.

I fully appreciate the attention, courtesy, professionalism and kindness throughout two different projects. Not only was my designer receptive to my expectations, she presented wonderful ideas and candid critiques to ensure that the projects went smoothly and captured my aesthetic vision.

I have been a customer since 2010. They are the best in the business. It has been a pleasure to work with the designer and the installer. You pay for what you get in life and I would highly recommend this company for your interior windows. Our home looks like a showplace because of working with Sunshine Drapery.

My decorator came to my home, made me feel at ease, and listened well to what I did and did not want. She showed me some really neat alternatives and demonstrated how they would look using her ipad. I have used Sunshine several times over the years and they have demonstrated the ability to change with the times as I was needing something “different”. I will continually use them and highly recommend the in home consultation services as they do not charge to come out and are flexible...

Every bit of our experience was excellent. The designer came to our home and helped us with style of blinds and color. We had priced several other stores and the price was better for the same products. Since the Hunter-Douglas blinds have been up in our bedroom, we are no longer getting up at 5:30 am with the sunrise. They are functional and beautiful.

The first appointment with the designer was made to fit my schedule. She was punctual, professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. She didn’t try to oversell me, which I appreciated. While she was at my home, she gave me several good tips to help us when we list our home for sale. The window treatment was delivered on time, and installation was quick and beautifully.

We highly recommend Sunshine Drapery. We used them 30+ years ago... and recently to install shutters and blinds. Our new shutters match our crown molding perfectly and keep noise out so well on our busy road.
