Natural Wood Blinds Options We Supply
Basswood Venetian Blinds
Light, stable, premium hardwood slats that resist warping — the benchmark timber for quality wood blinds. Available in a wide range of natural stains and painted finishes.
Wide-Slat (63mm) Wood Blinds
Broader slats that give a clean, contemporary look with fewer slats across the window and an uninterrupted view when open. A favourite for large lounge and bedroom windows.
Stained & Painted Finishes
From pale natural and honey tones to deep walnut and crisp whites, the finish is matched to your floors, furniture or trim for a built-in, considered look.

Natural Wood Blinds — Frequently Asked Questions
Are real wood blinds worth it over faux-wood?
If you want genuine warmth, lighter weight on large windows and a premium feel, real basswood is worth it. Faux-wood is more affordable and fully moisture-proof, so it wins in bathrooms and kitchens. Many homes use real wood in living areas and faux-wood in wet rooms.
Will wood blinds warp in the Cape Town climate?
Quality basswood is kiln-dried and stable, and our finishes resist UV and moisture, so warping is rare in normal living spaces. We do not recommend real timber for constantly steamy bathrooms — faux-wood is the better fit there.
How much do natural wood blinds cost in Cape Town?
Real wood blinds typically run from about R1,200 per m² up to around R2,400 per m² for wide-slat and premium finishes, making them one of our more premium options. We confirm exact pricing after measuring.
Can I match wood blinds to my flooring?
Yes — we carry a wide range of stains and painted finishes and can match to common floor and furniture tones. We bring physical samples to the free measure so you can compare in your own light.
How do I maintain natural wood blinds?
Dust them regularly with a soft cloth or duster, and wipe occasional marks with a barely-damp cloth — never soak real timber. Kept dry and dusted, quality wood blinds last for many years.
