Whatever industry or wherever we are in life, the importance of having alternatives cannot be more pronounced. May it be a small daily decision or major life choices, having alternatives allow us to be resilient and quickly adapt to ever changing trends and environments. Take faux wood blinds as alternatives for real ones, for example. These blinds take the form or appearance of an authentic wood blind but are made up of different materials. However, this does not mean that faux wood blinds are inferior. In this article, we will discuss why these blinds are really good alternatives because of both functional and aesthetic benefits.
Faux refers to an imitation or an artificial version of something. Wood blinds were invented in 1769 when an Englishman discovered that thin wooden slats can be customized to fit a frame and that these slats can be moved to allow light into a room. Faux wood blinds came much later, sometime in mid to late 20th century, when the demand for blinds increased and makers were looking for cheaper options as opposed to real wood blinds.
