Wooden Venetian blinds in white... Fake or real wood and... With tapes or without?

[Itsnotmycoat]

Wooden or fake?

And with or without tapes?

I can't decide and it's driving me crazy!!! 😂

I have some with tapes and some without. I prefer without as mine are white so will show the dirt more easily on the tape.

I have faux wood but with no wood grain showing, it is just personal preference.

I buy them online from blinds2go, as we are happy to fit them ourselves.

Real wood with tape

We had two very large ones from blind2go, in faux wood, which were lighter than real wood, but looked the same. We didn't have tape because when they were down and open, it would spoil the view.

6 years on they are still great.

If choose the one that looks easiest to dust /clean !

( I'm not a fan ! Due to the PITA of cleaning the buggers !)

Blinds2go faux wood no tape. Only had them a couple of months but I think they look great. Only problem we had was they were a month late due to high demand but we weren't in a massive hurry so it was fine.

We've got real wood and tapes.

Thank you everyone!!! I was a bit worried about the cleaning part with tapes as they would be white!
