I have always been affected by a beautiful view of wooden products and structures. Natural materials that are used in wall cladding or floor creates a warm and cozy design. Most recently, I put wooden windows in my house and realized that now old metal blinds are not at all to the place. My friend advised me to make wooden blinds with your own hands and it seemed to me a great idea. I always spend repairs at home yourself - the windows put it myself, the slopes and window sills did myself and therefore the blinds from the tree also decided to do with her own hands.

Wooden blinds do it yourself
At the moment there are a huge number of blinds of the blinds, they can be made of plastic or aluminum, as well as from the fabric. But the most exquisite and original are wooden blinds are considered the most exquisite and original. They can be divided into such groups:
- Vertical - this position allows you to control solar lighting. Blinds are something similar to ordinary curtains, but are more functional. In addition, wooden lamellas visually lengthen the height of the room. Using vertical elements, you can close not only the window in the room, but the balcony doors that are an additional light source
- Horizontal - suitable for narrow rooms, allow you to limit sunny light due to the structure of the "Lestenka". Most often used for office space
- Roman-iciels are characterized by a small width, and the whole design turns into a roll
Fastening the blinds is possible both to the ceiling space and the way over the window. Some wizards are used instead of fasteners bilateral scotch, but I advise you to use more reliable materials.
Important! Wooden blinds are environmentally friendly and cannot harm health. This can not be said about plastic structures.

Wooden blinds on the balcony
If you have certain skills or you decided to try to make blinds yourself, then let's consider all actions that allow you to spend your work qualitatively. Before making wooden blinds, you should stock material. In general, any breed of wood is suitable for shutters, but it will be best:
- Linden
- Bamboo
- Cedar
- Beech
- Cork tree
In advance, think about the location of the blinds - it determines the size of future lamellas. For small rooms, it is better to mount the design into the window opening, but the wooden blinds go beyond the windows, will require additional fasteners.
Adhere to this sequence:
- Make measurements of the window opening, which will be decorated with wooden blinds
- In order to find out the number of lamella needs, divide the window height by 11
- Find out how long the panels are. If you decide to install wooden blinds in the opening, then a couple of centimeters should be taken away from the total width.
To make lamellas, use the sawmill, in some cases it is possible to order ready-made planks. If a panel is used, then after cutting parts, they require grinding. In the future, they are burned with a soldering lamp and are processed by a verse. For decorative and protective goals of the panel, open lacquer - it will extend the life of the structure and give it a more impressive look.
When the planks are ready and completely dried, we can move to drump up holes. Select the middle of all lamellae and make a hole there - the inserted hook will consolidate to the base. Next, take the thread that will keep the design on yourself and measure two pieces that will be 20 cm longer than our new blinds. The third thread that will be in the middle will allow control of lighting - its length should be two heights of the window. Next, the actions are:
- The first bar is located between the ends of the thread and is fixed by clamping or large node.
- The next bar is installed after a short distance - it will be one for all lamella
- When the last lamella is installed, the ends of the thread are tied and fixed at the top. The central is located in such a way to keep the lamella in the open position. When resting wooden blinds will be closed

Advantages of natural material
Wooden blinds in the interior of the apartment
Wooden blinds made with their own hands will delight you for a very long time. In addition to the spectacular appearance, blinds made of wood will create a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. Agree, much more pleasant is located in a room with wooden curtains, rather than metal elements. Proms of using natural material for self-making Curtain:
- The material is environmentally friendly and does not harm the health of others.
- Blinds can be called universal. They are able to fit into various interior solutions, if those are made with natural motives
- Durable - Such a design is capable of listening to much longer than its other analogues.
- Very easy to care for the material - when the dust is clustered, it is enough to vacuum the lamellas or wipe the soft wind
The only minus use of the blinds from the tree can be called instability of the material to the influence of moisture. Therefore, it is better to use such designs in the rooms with the optimal level of humidity, and if you need curtains for the bathroom, then there are better plastic or aluminum shutters.
Wooden blinds for windows
Recently, the use of such "curtains" is much more common than all the curtains have come. This is due to the constant washers of the curtain and the accumulation of dust on them. Modern blinds are very easy to clean from dirt and then do not need to make dismantling of panels. By the way, even special brushes appeared in the stores, repeating the contour of the panels, they can speed up the process of cleansing. By the way, wooden panels are more resistant to mechanical damage. Aluminum elements may be stood under pressure and are not returned to the past position.
