Faux Wood Blinds in Handsworth
£2993 faux wood blinds fitted
Each blind up to 1 metre wide × 1 metre drop.
Wood belongs in Handsworth homes. Many of the older houses here still have panelled doors, timber floors and deep window boards, and a run of wide slats sits naturally among them. Faux wood keeps that warmth while standing up to steam and sunlight, so the blind looks just as good in a busy kitchen as in a quiet study.
Rooms that suit faux wood blinds around Handsworth
The big bays of Victorian and Edwardian villas around Handsworth Wood take faux wood beautifully, with each section measured on its own so the slats line up as they turn the corner. Decorative tapes in a contrasting tone can echo old tiles or cornicing, and darker stains look rich against pale walls. In Perry Barr’s newer homes, crisp white slats bring texture to plainer rooms.
Our faux wood bundle is three blinds fitted for £299, each measuring up to 1 metre wide × 1 metre drop. The fitter checks your windows and introduces the finishes included in the offer, with a separate price for larger sizes. BN-14 cannot be added to the bundle. Real wood is also available, lighter on broad windows though less suited to damp rooms, and can be quoted at the same visit.
Some practicalities sit alongside the beauty. Faux wood is heavier than aluminium, so a broad window may be divided into two blinds aligned to look like one. The raised stack covers a band of glass at the top, which the fitter will show you. A wand tilt reduces cords. Cleaning is a damp cloth across closed slats, flipped and repeated.
For a richer finish, consider pairing slats with dress curtains at the side. The wood brings structure, the fabric softness, and the combination suits the grand proportions of many B20 rooms.

Common questions
Will faux wood look right in a Victorian house?
It often looks wonderful against original floors and deep window boards. Darker stains and decorative tapes help the slats sit naturally among period details.
Is a very wide faux wood blind heavy to lift?
It can be, as faux wood weighs more than aluminium. We check the width and may suggest two blinds aligned as one, or real wood instead.
What sits inside the £299 bundle?
Three faux wood blinds, measured and fitted, each up to 1 metre wide × 1 metre drop. The fitter brings the finish options and explains which are included at your free home visit.
