The width of faux wood blinds are optimal when they are at least 2 inches wide. The appearance of capacious slats and louvers gives a better field of vision when someone wants to tilt them and look outside. The interval spacing between isn’t just exceptional for viewing because the voluminous span also allows more sunlight to enter through the window. The radiance that enters the home can be hindered to some extent if they were smaller slats. This does not render thinner slats useless, it’s a matter of design, and the type effect you are looking for. Spacious rooms or areas of the home that receive abundant sunshine would fare better if the blinds facilitated the entry of light. 2 inch faux wood blinds also have a lesser number of slats. A typical standard window that has a size of 32 inches wide and 56 inches high would have double the number of slats if the size was 1 inch.
The photo above details the obvious difference between 2 inch faux wood blinds and 1 inch faux wood blinds. The variance is immediately recognized and not just the blinds size but also the size of the headrail. Rather than considering one size superior to the other, the focus should be on which size is befitting a specific window, door or room. 2 faux wood blinds on glass doors may appear odd and conflict with the contour and design of doors. 1 wood blinds on the other hand would can be applied and would be in felicitously suitable. Other elements to consider beyond the size of the blinds would be the color of the faux wood. An all white aluminum door would match white wood blinds but can we claim the same for brownish blinds.
The similarities between 2” faux wood blinds and 1 inch faux wood blinds are apparent, both sizes are inviting and attractive. The size you buy should agree with the intended purpose as well as the intended window or door. 2” wood blinds will welcome the sunlight more than the smaller size. Doors will look nicer with 1” faux wood blinds because the smaller size is more amiable with doors and their sidelights.
The choice might be easier when looking at some samples of 2” wood blinds side by side on either windows or doors.
