More and more people change the look of their homes by getting rid of their curtains in favour of blinds. However, with such a wide range of types available, how do you know which to choose? Well, why not take a look at basswood blinds, also known as wooden Venetian blinds, and find out why they are so very popular in South Africa – both in the home and the office.
Here are just some of the main reasons why basswood blinds are the perfect solution for your windows:
It is very durable: Basswood blinds are made from hardwood and, if well looked after, can last a lifetime, even when exposed to the sunny climate of South African.
Something for every taste and style: Wood textures and natural colours are very popular now, as it adds a richness to a room and matches just about any style. Basswood blinds are available in a range of stains and natural wood colours to suit just about any decoration style. Whether you prefer something classic, something modern, an urban look, or something more rustic, there are colours and finishes to suit all personal tastes.
It provides excellent privacy and security: Basswood blinds are ideal for urban living. They can provide perfect privacy in your home without having to deprive yourself of natural sunlight. With a simple pull of a string or turn of a rotator pole, passers-by will no longer be able to see into your home, while still allowing light in. It also means you can pop out knowing that nobody will be checking out and be tempted by any valuable items inside your home.
It is a cost-effective option: Homeware and décor can be very expensive in South Africa. However, compared to other window dressings, such as curtains or wooden shutters, basswood blinds provide a very affordable solution to fit most budgets without having to compromise on style or quality.
Protection against the sun: Some items of value in your home – like an expensive rug or antique furniture – can be prone to fading or damage if exposed to direct sunlight for too long. As in the case of privacy, one simple turn of a rotator pole or a pull of a string block direct light from reaching a particular area of a room without compromising the lighting of the entire room.
Easy maintenance: Basswood blinds are ridiculously easy to clean. Unlike curtains, which require you to take them down, have them washed and dried, only to rehang them again, these window covers simply require a quick wipe with a dry cloth or duster to remove any traces of dust or dirt.
If you are in the market for new window dressings and you are searching for a solution that is practical, affordable and stylish, consider the benefits of basswood blinds like so many other households in South Africa.
