Matchstick Blinds

Matchstick blinds are a type of blind that is constructed of sticks of bamboo that are woven together. The bamboo can be either round or flat and each type produces a unique and distinct looking blind. They have become increasingly popular over the last couple of years, due to several factors such as their relatively cheap cost, a great natural look and being easy to maintain.

Although bamboo is technically a grass, it is an extremely durable product that can be made into many things, not just matchstick blinds. In an era where eco-friendly products are increasing in demand, bamboo blinds are sure to be a big seller for a long time to come.

There are two main types of matchstick blinds, roll-up blinds and roman blinds. Roll-up blinds, sometimes called roller blinds, are by far the most popular as they are extremely quick and easy to adjust to the desired height. Roman blinds do not roll up but rather are folded up onto themselves via a drawstring.

Matchstick blinds also come in a great range of colors. Light sandy hues reminiscent of the beach are available right through to rich dark chocolate hues as well. This gives you many choices in how you want your blinds to look. The disadvantage is that it can sometimes be difficult in finding the exact same color blind at a later stage. So it is recommended that you buy all your matchstick blinds at the one time in order to ensure a matching color scheme throughout your home.

Another great feature about bamboo matchstick blinds is that compared to many other types of window coverings they are reasonably priced and oftentimes much cheaper than many common alternatives. This is especially true if you purchase off the shelf sizes rather than going for a custom made blind. If you are handy with the tools you may even be able to cut them to size yourself at home.

Finding matchstick blinds for your home is even easier these days as there are many reputable retailers with online stores that allow you to search for the perfect blind right from your computer. This is especially true if you are looking for a standard sized blind, however a few places will even offer custom made blinds that can be made and delivered straight to your home.

Whatever type of matchstick blind you choose you will end up with an environmentally friendly product that will look great and last a lifetime.
