Like other posters said it shows the dust like crazy. (The photo is a lot warmer/yellow than IRL.) </p> [attach=2312/13/mjocmy.600x448.Photo-Mar-14--7-39-17-PM.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-or-wood-grain-blinds#post-641625 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:41:19 +0000 MsLipGloss 641625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>White! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-or-wood-grain-blinds#post-641615 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:38:58 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 641615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The oak is beautiful, but I would match the window trim, baseboards and door moldings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-or-wood-grain-blinds#post-641600 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:36:03 +0000 Pepper 641600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the white because it makes the rooms look bigger when everything blends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-or-wood-grain-blinds#post-641594 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:34:16 +0000 BoogieBea 641594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would choose oak only because I don't like it all white. What about a different color? We did ours in brick red and love the pop of color since everything else is neutral. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-or-wood-grain-blinds#post-641593 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:33:46 +0000 Ash 641593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have dark floors and white trim with wood colored bamboo blinds. I love it! </p> [attach=2798/13/mjocae.600x450.2011-06-05-20.52.24.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-or-wood-grain-blinds#post-641578 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:31:41 +0000 immabeetoo 641578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I think its the contrast of light dust on the darker wood.. We actually have nothing on half the windows- big trees that block the neighbors! I'm going to hang curtains eventually though. Maybe leave each sample on the sill for a week and compare dust residue?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-or-wood-grain-blinds#post-641545 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:26:01 +0000 regberadaisy 641545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: oh really?? What color do you have now? That was another reason I wasn't liking the white as much bc I'm afraid they'll show dirt &amp; dust more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-or-wood-grain-blinds#post-641534 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:24:30 +0000 sorrycharlie 641534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm matchy, so i'd say white...if you had natural trim, i'd go with oak. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-or-wood-grain-blinds#post-641533 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:24:23 +0000 immabeetoo 641533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oak ones were in when we moved in and omgggg they show dust in the light so badly. I like white:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-or-wood-grain-blinds#post-641531 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:24:06 +0000 MrsCastro 641531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have whit in our home and love it!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-or-wood-grain-blinds#post-641528 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:23:48 +0000 banana 641528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go with white. But I'm just partial to white because our whole house is white and gray. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-or-wood-grain-blinds#post-641524 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:23:16 +0000 BelugaBean 641524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the white. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-or-wood-grain-blinds#post-641519 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:22:36 +0000 Bao 641519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the oak, that's the kind we have in our living/dining room area and it looks really nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-or-wood-grain-blinds#post-641516 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:22:14 +0000 Sweet T 641516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go with white. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-or-wood-grain-blinds#post-641501 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:19:57 +0000 regberadaisy 641501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our faux wood blind (free!) samples came today.</p> <p>Would you do white or a wood grain to resemble the flooring?</p> <p>White is more contemporary but our windows and trim are white so I'm not loving the white on white.</p> <p>Here's a pic, what do you think? The flooring and blind is a warm reddish "oak". Thanks!</p> <p>[attach=1325/13/mjobha.600x448.image.jpg]</p> <p>Sorry for the horrible lighting.<br /> Eventually I will be putting sheer curtains over these. </p>
