Wndow blinds are often made out of vinyl, metal, synthetic, faux wood, and natural wood. Each of these materials can offer great form and function, but let’s discuss which one might be right for your home. We will break them down by affordability, maintenance, durability, and style.
Wooden
Wooden blinds are usually made of natural hardwoods that are sophisticated and durable. Faux wood might mimic the look, but natural woods give an unmatched sense of style and warmth to the room. These are very durable and won’t bend or bow with repetitive use like plastics, vinyl, and faux wood.
Though these are a favorite of most interior decorators, the cost will be significantly higher than most materials. The price can range from $30 to $215, so these are not made for a budget build design.

Faux Wood
Faux wood is a blend of materials that work to mimic the look and feel of wood. These blinds are built to be durable, and they are much more affordable than real wood. The price point on faux wood blinds will rest somewhere between $30 and $95 per window.
The material used to replicate the look of wood can include virtually anything durable such as PVC, vinyl, composite, and foam wood. Each of these materials is more affordable and can match the durability of natural woods. They probably won’t last quite as long as natural woods, but they are more durable than other synthetic options like vinyl and plastic. It’s a little more expensive, but the durability and style make faux woods popular.

Bamboo textile
Bamboo textile is any cloth, yarn or clothing made from bamboo fibres. While historically used only for structural elements, such as bustles and the ribs of corsets, in recent years different technologies have been developed that allow bamboo fibre to be used for a wide range of textile and fashion applications.
