			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to our site on made to measure <a href="http://www.madetomeasurewoodenblinds.com/">wooden blinds</a>.  Here you will find natural hardwood and colored blinds, plus talk about the hardware needed to make your blinds fit nicely into your home. Wooden blinds are a classic choice for your home decor, giving a clean, beautiful look. They are made from basswood or other hardwoods and come in a variety of stains and painted colors to choose from. </p>
<p><strong>Made to Measure Vertical Blinds</strong><br />
Smaller slat sizes as wood mini blinds and are typically for French doors and smaller windows, and the wood blinds with 2&#8243; slats are perfect for most windows of any size and shape. Vertical wood blinds with slat sizes larger than 2&#8243; are recommended for greater outward visibility or &#8220;see-through&#8221;. Buying online is easy and saves you money but you must be careful.</p>
<p><strong>Made to Measure Venetian Blinds</strong><br />
Venetian wood blinds are an attractive way to decorate a window. They are practical and allow light in while providing privacy, and can provide insulation.  Many don&#8217;t think about it, but they do increase the resale value of your home, and don&#8217;t require additional treatments even though they also look nice with valances or curtains.  Despite these positives, there are some downsides to wood blinds. For one, they can be quite expensive, particularly if you plan to use them in a number of windows.</p>

<p><strong>1&#8243; Wood Blinds</strong><br />
One inch wood blinds offer a warm and inviting look because of their size. Richly stained or painted, wood blinds are the modern alternative to shutters. Wood blinds with 1&#8243; slats look more traditional.  They come in Ramin wood or Bass wood. Most blinds come standard with a tailored wood valance to cover the headrail. One inch wooden blinds fit in windows with shallow depths making them ideal for areas that are tight on space.  Some doors use the 1&#8243; as well because the 2&#8243; seems to interfere with the door handle.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you really begin your search for 1&#8243; window blinds you will eventually get to the point where you need to make a decision on what brand of window blinds you will buy.   But beware, there are many cheap window blinds that are imported and sold at various retail outlets.</p>
<p>You will also find several of the major name brands of window blinds to choose from. Obviously Hunter Douglas blinds are a major player in the window blinds and window treatments market. Another well recognized name in window blinds is Levolor blinds.</p>
<p>When you are thinking of how you want to spend money on your home decorating, window blinds might not have been not high on the list.  Mainly blinds are there to cover the window, give you some privacy and blend with the rest of your decorating. There&#8217;s no reason to lower your expectations of quality for cheap 1&#8243; wood blinds, you just have to know what you&#8217;re looking for.</p>
<p>If you just moved into a new home wood blinds may be the first thing on your list.  You will often be able to get extra low prices if you buy all your blinds online. You should know exactly what you need for each room before beginning your search. This is important so that when you find an unbelievable deal you can act immediately and make your purchase before the price disappears.</p>
<p>1&#8243; wood blinds are an attractive way to decorate a window. They&#8217;re practical, allow light in while providing privacy, and can provide insulation. They increase the resale value of your home, and don&#8217;t require additional treatments (although they also look nice with valances or curtains).</p>
<p>Redecorating your living room or dining room can be a lot of work. It&#8217;s very challenging to redecorate, especially as you need to not only decide what you want to change but also come up with the money to make those desired changes.</p>
<p>I don’t know about you, but in my experience one of the first things that I &#8220;change&#8221; are the walls. Either they&#8217;re repainted or wall-papered, or re-paneled. Just changing that one thing can make a tremendous difference to the overall appearance of your room, and often that&#8217;s all that&#8217;s needed to give your room a &#8216;new&#8217; look. The color you choose for your walls can change the entire ambiance of a room and as such deciding on what you&#8217;re going to do with your walls is almost the most important decision you will make when re-decorating.</p>
<p>The market for blinds have expanded past those traditional aluminum mini blinds the bend, break, and warp. Many homeowners are electing to install a 1 inch wood blind made of either wood or vinyl to add a more sophisticated touch to a room.</p>
<p>Faux Wood Blinds have the look of real wood blinds but save you twenty-five to thirty percent of the cost. Because they are a synthetic material they offer worry-free maintenance without the concern of high humidity warping, cracking or splitting them like with real wood blinds. Faux wood blinds are ideal for kitchens, bathrooms and most anywhere you would want them. You can buy them in solid vinyl or combined with real wood for additional support.</p>
<p>For environmentally wood-like blinds, Levolor is a brand name definitely worth considering. They are offered in whites and wood tones without warping or cracking. They are ideal for high temperatures and humidity and direct sunlight. You even have the option of purchasing cloth tapes to match or contrast to your blinds. These provide extra privacy and light control, but are stylish as well as functional. You can even purchase routeless blinds that have notches at the back of each slat to take the place of routing holes. This allow for a sleeker design while allowing for greater privacy and light control.</p>
<p>Wooden venetian blinds are the type with slats that run horizontally. You can alter the quantity of light that&#8217;s let through by fixing the lean of the blinds. The bigger the gaps in the blinds, typically the more light that floods in. Otherwise you can hoist the blinds up into a bunch to permit maximum daylight into the room. Venetian blinds are good for windows or single doorways.</p>
