Earth tones are a general term for any colors found in nature. The pillars of this kind of palette are shades of brown, tan, beige, white, gray, and dull oranges and reds. While there are many different parts of your home that can be colored to match the earth tone palette, your window treatments are one of the most dynamic parts of your home that can provide a powerful punch to the decor of any room. 

Wood and Faux Wood Blinds

Using materials directly from nature makes it easy for wooden blinds to fit into an earth-tone palette. The rich browns, reds, and blacks of real wood are great accents for any room and provide more than just flat color; the wood grain texture gives even greater depth to these window treatments and makes each of them truly unique. 

If you’re afraid of real wood not being able to handle your home environment, you can instead look to faux wood blinds. These window treatments retain the natural look and color of real wood blinds without the material sensitivities of actual wood. That way, you can have the perfect earth-tone window treatment no matter where you live!

Then, if you’re looking for a little more variety of color than that offered by just wood, you can also decide to paint your blinds too! This way, you can keep the beautiful, natural texture of wood and experiment with an even broader range of colors.

Wooden Shutters

Another fantastic option for capturing natural beauty and bringing it into your home is the addition of hardwood shutters. Like their wooden blind cousins, these window treatments also take advantage of the inherent richness and color of wood. Or, you can choose your own color of shades with paint or stain and still retain the classic look of shutters.

Wooden Shutters are known for their commanding presence, with straight, hard lines and broad louvers. There is a huge range of different materials that they can be made from, letting you customize what kind of feeling you want to have. With all different kinds of hardwood available, you’ll be able to create your personalized decor with the perfect tones and patterns. If you are worried about hardwood shutters not being able to hold up to excessive moisture or heat in your home, there are faux wood and composite options that still maintain the natural, earth-toned beauty of real wood and can stand up to any kind of environment.

Woven Wood Blinds

Sometimes the best options are simple ones. If you want something simple to decorate your home with, a great choice that fits this criterion and exudes plenty of natural energy and the color is woven wood blinds. These blinds are constructed from materials like bamboo, rattan, reeds, grasses, jute, and more - all wonderful materials that each have their own enchanting, natural colors and textures. Woven into fabric sheets, these blinds are a perfect option for a window treatment that is aesthetically simple but still beautiful and interesting.
