There’s a reason why mini blinds are so popular. They look great and don’t cost as much as most people assume. This also applies to wood mini blinds although ones that are made from natural wood will cost more than faux wood. The only problem is that they only fit on small windows but if you have such a window and I’m sure you do then take a real close look these horizontal blinds. The cheapest type you will find will be the all white variety and probably something that is made by Living Accents. Standard sizes are usually 24″ to 36″ width and 64″ height but you can certainly order them custom sized and that would be the smart choice if you are getting wood mini blinds. If you find out that the price is a little steep, despair not because for half the price you can find faux wood mini blinds and only the keenest eyes will know the difference.
And often times faux isn’t just as good but even better, hopefully you won’t learn this the hard way by installing natural wood in a room with high humidity such as a patio room which is prone to more moisture than rooms that in the house. The slat sizes for most mini blinds are between 1″ to 2″ but they are also available in 2.5″ as well and the sizes available will depend on the brand you buy. Finding authentic wood might be a little harder than you think as faux wood mini blinds are what are being sold more online and in stores. The costs for real wood are just too high for most consumers but you can and will find real wood but your search might be a little harder. The wood finishes are also very extensive with white and natural wood color selling the most. Companies such as Levolor have as much as 65 custom finishes, the more unique the color the longer you will have to wait for your order. It is not uncommon for people to wait 2-3 weeks before they receive their shipment.
Installing wood mini blinds is also simpler than than larger blinds as it is easier for one person to hold them, unlike large window blinds that might require a helping hand. If you want an estimation of how much it would cost for a complete package of wood mini blinds including the headrail, well expect to pay $50 and more for a 34″ x 72″ for faux wood material. These will mostly likely be made from PVC and will be all white. Custom colors will cost more and if we are talking about real wood then the price will be much more than that.
