Walk into any room with wooden blinds and you are immediately struck with the nobility of the room . These blinds are regal, authoritative and speak volumes about the room and the inhabitants.

For years now a wooden blind has been used where authority needs to be projected. Accountants and lawyers are two examples of offices that would need to project this aura of authority. Yes, Perry Mason had wood blinds in his windows.

They are a natural for dens or home offices as they just naturally lend themselves to serious matters. They are also ideal for game rooms and family rooms where serious adult competition takes place.

In other rooms where you want the atmosphere to be lighter, use the wood blind as the foundation for your window treatments. Dress them up with swags and jabots, a pair of side panels and you have a combination that is sure to command visual attention.

Don't like swags and jabots? Then you can use an upholstered cornice. As far as that goes you can use almost any type of decorative valance. Just don't get to frilly as it will fight the authority of the blinds, not compliment them.

Wood blinds come in three different sizes. The 1" wood blind , these beauties are the foundation for traditional styling. Then there is the 2" wood blind this proud gentleman is the foundation of generations of awesome window treatments.
