Dark Wood Blinds

Yes. Most of the time a dark wooden blind only needs wiping down with a soft cloth or a feather duster. Our dark faux wood blind can also be wiped with a damp cloth or a baby wipe. Dust shows more on dark slats, so a quick regular dust keeps them looking sharp.

Dark slats make gaps obvious, so measure three times and choose exact size if your recess is not square. Our wooden blind measuring guide has the full steps. Every Blindstyle blind also comes with measurement protection, which gives you a reduced price on a replacement if you measure wrong, depending on the blind.

Either can work. Dark blinds against light walls give a strong, modern contrast, while blinds close to the wall colour feel calmer and blend in. If your room is small or gets little light, keep the walls and flooring lighter so dark blinds do not make it feel closed in. Order a free sample and check it against your walls.

We offer black, dark grey and brown, including a walnut stain, all with 50mm slats. The real wood blinds are made from basswood and finished in paint or stain, and there is also a dark grey faux wood blind. You can browse black wooden blinds, grey wooden blinds and brown wooden blinds on their own pages, and because colours can look different on screen, order free samples before you decide.

Real wood should stay out of damp rooms, so for a bathroom or a kitchen with a steamy hob choose faux wood, which is waterproof. Our dark faux wood blind is a dark grey, and you can see more options in our faux wood kitchen blinds. In a drier kitchen, real wood works well.
