{"title":"Room Darkening Wood \u0026 Faux Wood Blinds","description":"\u003cp\u003eWood blinds are often chosen for the way they look: warm grain and crisp horizontal slats across the window. The question that comes next is usually how dark they will make the room. In a bedroom, a guest room or a den with a television, you want the slats closed tight at night and a room that stays dim on a bright weekend morning. This page gathers our made-to-measure wood and faux wood blinds for darker rooms, along with two blackout options for the windows where you need the room fully dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBlinds and shades for a darker room\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWood blinds\u003c\/strong\u003e suit a room where the window is part of the look. Real wood sits well with hardwood floors, wood furniture and traditional trim, and a stained finish adds depth to a quiet bedroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFaux wood blinds\u003c\/strong\u003e give the same slatted look in a wood-look finish. They are a natural pick for a kids' room, a guest room or a busy family bedroom where you want the look of wood blinds on every window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZeroGlow\u003c\/strong\u003e is for the window that must go fully dark, such as a shift worker's bedroom or a nursery used for daytime naps. It is a 25 mm blackout cellular shade held in an edge-to-edge frame that presses into the window opening with no drilling, sealed at the edges by a rubber weather strip. It is cordless, travels up and down or side to side, and comes in White, Black, Beige, Light Gray, Dark Gray and Straw fabric with three frame colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlackout cellular shades\u003c\/strong\u003e give the same honeycomb blackout fabric on a standard headrail, for windows where a framed insert is not the right fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA few design notes. If you want blinds in most of the house but one bedroom needs total darkness, use wood or faux wood blinds on the other windows and ZeroGlow in that room, choosing a fabric close to your blind finish so the rooms still feel connected. A darker stain makes a bedroom feel cozier at night, while a white faux wood keeps a small room bright by day. Keep the slat size and finish the same on every window in a room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSizes and limits to check\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize limits, slat sizes and configuration options for wood and faux wood blinds are shown on each product page as you build your blind, so enter your widest and tallest measurements there before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the blackout options, ZeroGlow is built to the exact size of your opening, in inches or millimeters, and sits inside the window recess. Cordless blackout cellular shades build from 12 inches wide up to 94 inches wide and 94 inches high. Bead chain versions reach 197 inches wide and 157 inches high, and motorized versions need at least 23 inches of width and stop at 79 inches high.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeasuring and installing them yourself\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart by deciding whether each blind or shade will sit inside the window frame or on the wall around it. An inside mount gives a clean, built-in look. An outside mount covers the trim and can make a window look larger. For an inside mount, measure the width at the top, middle and bottom and the height on both sides, then send us the exact opening. For an outside mount on a cellular shade, adding 3 7\/8 inches to both the width and the height lets it overlap the opening and block more light at the edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZeroGlow installs without tools. Join the frame corners on a soft, flat surface, fit the rubber weather strip around the outside edges, then press the frame gently into the window opening until it is seated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompare wood and faux wood blinds with our blackout options here, order samples to see the finishes in your own light, then send us your sizes. We make each one to measure and ship it direct to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"blackout-cellular-shades","title":"Blackout Cellular Shades","description":"\u003cp\u003eHoneycomb shades built from 38 mm cells, roughly an inch and a half deep, that collapse into a tight stack as the shade rises. The cell structure holds a pocket of air across the face of the window and gives the shade its clean pleated look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blackout fabric stops light through the panel, so the room goes dark rather than dim. The stack is compact when raised, which keeps the top of the window clear and makes cellular a good answer where a bulkier shade would eat into the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA top down bottom up build is available, letting you drop the shade from the top for daylight while the bottom stays closed for privacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWays to operate\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCordless.\u003c\/strong\u003e No cords or chains anywhere on the shade, which makes it the safest choice around children and pets.
