Bamboo Vertical Blinds: A How To Guide For Your Kitchen
As you decorate your kitchen, getting the right window blind to match what you are doing is essential. With the wrong blind, your kitchen will not have the look you want. You want the right blind to not only match your kitchen but compliment your entire home. You can do this with vertical blinds and doing it in bamboo makes it all the more exciting. Bamboo vertical blinds can make your kitchen standout from the typical kitchens you see these days.
What are Bamboo Vertical Blinds?
Bamboo vertical blinds are blinds that instead of open and close horizontally, they open and close vertically. That is the slats on them run perpendicular to the ground (up and down instead of side to side). You actually close them shut from left to right (horizontally) and open the slats or close the slats top to bottom (vertically). These aren’t as popular in kitchen windows as traditional blinds but that doesn’t make them less desirable. In fact, I think they give a smaller window more class by stating “look how big I am, I need a vertical blind”. The bamboo part I hope you can figure out on your own.
Where Have I Seen Vertical Blinds Before?
If you remember those big patio doors, they either had large draw string curtains on them or big vertical blinds. Those are the same kind of blinds we are talking about here except in a smaller fashion to fit a kitchen window.
What Colors are Available?
When you take a look at bamboo vertical blinds for the kitchen, you’ll find many different shades available for you. From the lighter more natural looking to the darker wood looking models. I prefer the lighter shades myself as I think this style lends itself to a more elegant appeal. Plus the lighter shades are sure to match all the other elements you may have in your kitchen.
How Much Are Bamboo Vertical Blinds?
You can expect to pay anywhere from $40 and up for quality bamboo vertical blinds depending on the size you need to fit your kitchen window and where you purchase them from, but on the whole, that’s not too expensive. Of course the larger style vertical blinds will run you a pretty penny.
Where To Buy Bamboo Vertical Blinds?
Well, you’ll be able to get them right here when the sites up completely but until then you can pick them up from most of your local home improvement stores like Lowes and Home Depot. You can also spot them at times in different department stores like Sears or JC Penney’s. Or you can take to the local online haunts like Blinds.com or Blinds Galore and some specialty places like The Bamboo site.
