What Would Look Better, Bamboo Or Wood Blinds?
They would be for the living room. The couches are color chocolate, so are the center and side tables (just a little darker). The wood blinds would be the same color as the couches. The bamboo blinds would be a dark beige, with chocolate color designs, those would match the couches.
By the way, there are two window in the living room, one big one and one smaller.
What do you think? Which ones do you think would look better?

Bamboo, I have Bamboo blinds and I love them. Also, bamboo tends to be cheaper!

I think the bamboo blinds because you don’t want the room to be to dark. Add alittle contrast.

I have been looking at new homes recently and they have the 2″ wood blinds in them and I have fallen in love with them. They block out light real well and look very nice. The bamboo blinds seem easy to fray, not as clean looking as wood blinds. Good Luck

I say go for the one that does not match the other colors to closely.. you want people to notice the blinds… but at the same time.. you don’t want window covers that say “look at me” in a bad, gawdy.. ugly way…

Bamboo. I think it’s good to go lighter in the windows… makes the room look bigger.

bamboo would look better, plus they are from a renewable source which is more friendly to the environment.

I think that the bamboo would be more visually interesting, and not too matchy-matchy with the couches.
It depends, though, on the overall look you’re going for. If your look is “country”, then bamboo would just be weird! If you’re going for a contemporary (Pottery Barn-esque) look or an Asian-influenced “zen retreat” feel, then I think bamboo blinds would definitely be the best fit.

I would go with white. You have too much dark.

Wood blinds I have bamboo and i hate them there to hard to clean. best of luck! They would probably both look fine.

I would have the bamboo blinds. The dark beige would break the chocolate colour from the couches, yet with the designs makes it match. Bamboo might be more expensive but if so, definitely worth it! Hope it goes well!
