Timber Venetian Blinds
Wood is one of the most versatile natural materials that exude warmth and character. Wood lends a feeling of cosiness that is once welcoming and exclusive, a feeling of a haven. In the olden times, real natural wood was used to dress the windows with Venetian blinds. Still, with the world becoming more considerate about the planet and adapting to eco-friendly materials, Venetian blinds are now available in faux wood or blinds with wooden effect designs or layering. The manufactured materials do not compromise the original wooden blinds. The choices have multiplied with the introduction of Timber Venetian Blinds in manufactured materials, with various colours, designs, textures, and finishes. And they are also more economical. What could be better than saving money and the environment without sacrificing the vintage look and feel of your home, private office, or conference room?
