Using Wooden Window Blinds In The Bedroom

The interior plantation shutter looks great in an exotic style design like a moroccan style bedroom or a safari style room. It can go well in a plantation style theme or even a beach style bedroom. These wooden blinds cover the whole window, so the stain or paint of the shutter should match the color of the window trim. These are nice if you don’t like the look of fabric in the window and can add a masculine look to any bedroom. The plantation style shutters can also be used in conjunction with a valance or roman blinds if you want to add a bit of softness or color around the window area.

The café shutter is a wooden louvered blind that covers the bottom half of the window only. These are great if you have nice old windows and want to leave the woodwork exposed since they hang inside the casement. They allow for privacy when closed but can be opened up to let in the full sun during the day. These café blinds can work well for masculine bedroom themes as well as tropical, safari and beach themes. Some people like to add a swag or valance at the top of the window to add color and soften up the lines of the window.

Wooden blinds or shutters can be an easy to use and easy to clean alternative to fabric blinds and can be stained or painted to match your window trim. The café style shutters are nice because they provide for privacy while still letting light in the top half of the window. The plantation window shutters give the room an exotic look that you just can’t get with curtains.
