Where to buy white wooden blinds

12 replies

We want to get some white wooden Venetian blinds. There seem to be so many places online but obviously it's impossible to assess the quality. We got some from Tesco.com for our old place which were ok but I'm not sure how long they'll last (we've since moved and left them behind). Can anyone recommend anywhere else to get good quality ones with a fairly wide slats.

We got ours from here.

Got them 3 years ago, DH fitted them himself which kept cost down. V pleased with them.

Got ours from 'Hilary's'. They make them made to measure and fit them as well. Don't remember them being particularly pricey. Bought 4 years ago and still great condition.

Wooden blinds direct are where we're got all off ours very reasonable too

Without a doubt try 247blinds I have used these several times now. I've bought white wooden ones from the delux origin range. I have the ones with the larger slats with coloured tapes (white in ours and dd bedrooms and navy in ds room), They look far more expensive than they are. I would highly recommend them, well priced, good quality and super fast delivery. Hth.

Wow thanks everyone. I'll definitely investigate these options. We definitely want to fit them ourselves to keep the cost down.

Catwithflowers I wasn't wild about the ikea ones when I was last looking for our old place - they didn't seem very sturdy. But it was a while ago so perhaps they're better now.

You won't get white ones from IKEA atm (or ever the way it's going) The whole Lindmon range got taken off sale last summer due to quality issues and so far it's only the light and dark wood that's come back in (I work there btw)

another vote for Wooden Blinds Direct, got mine about 6 years ago and still look great. They are in a rental property as well so get treated with the love they deserve lol

We got ours from b&q Smile

Another vote too for Wooden Blinds Direct. They are fab and very reasonable priced.

DH hung them without a problem. I got the wide slats with the tapes.

They are not technically Made to Measure but Cut to Measure. Iirc, they cut down standard blinds to your dimensions.

Ours have been up for 4 years now. I swore when i got them i would clean them regularly but ..........
