As the temperature drops and the nights draw in, creating a warm, inviting home becomes a top priority. Whether you have real or faux wood blinds, these timeless window treatments not only add beauty and structure to your space but also offer practical benefits during the colder months. From improving insulation to enhancing seasonal style, wooden blinds can be easily adapted for winter with a few clever styling tricks.
This guide is perfect for anyone looking to restyle their existing blinds or those considering buying new wooden blinds this winter. Read on to discover how to make the most of your blinds and keep your home cosy all season long.
1. Maximise Warmth with Layered Curtains
One of the easiest and most effective ways to boost warmth during winter is by layering your wooden blinds with curtains. Real wooden blinds are naturally good insulators, helping to retain heat and reduce drafts. Faux wood blinds, while not as thermally efficient, still perform well when paired with curtains — together they can significantly enhance thermal retention, especially when you opt for blackout or thermal lined curtains.
For a stylish and practical pairing, explore our range of made to measure curtains in luxurious fabrics and finishes. From soft velvets to thick weaves, the right curtain fabric will not only trap warmth but also elevate your interior’s seasonal aesthetic.

2. Embrace Winter Colour Palettes
Transitioning your space from summer to winter doesn’t have to mean a complete overhaul. Simply updating your soft furnishings, such as curtains, cushions and throws, can transform the atmosphere of your space.
Darker, richer tones like deep burgundy, forest green, or burnt orange work beautifully alongside dark wood blinds, adding depth and a cosy, traditional feel. If you prefer a modern look, white or neutral-toned blinds remain timeless and versatile, offering that sought-after Scandi-inspired freshness even through the colder months.
White wooden blinds continue to be one of our bestselling styles, and for good reason! They transition seamlessly from season to season and pair effortlessly with any décor.
Explore our bespoke cushion collection to find designs that complement your blinds and curtains perfectly. Many of our cushion fabrics can be matched to our curtain range, making it easy to create a cohesive, comforting winter look.
3. Keep Your Space Cosy and Energy Efficient
Wooden blinds do more than just look good — they can actively help you keep the heat in. Real wood blinds are particularly effective at encouraging thermal retention, acting as a natural barrier between your warm indoor air and the cold glass of your windows.
