Matchstick Bamboo Blinds 

  Matchstick bamboo blinds refer to the width and overlap of the bamboo planks being worn. These type of shades are made of frail, thin, planks and let in more light than other types of bamboo window shades.

Most homeowners choose bamboo blinds because of their classic look, but it doesn't hurt that bamboo as a material has risen to prominence as a green material in this time of environmental uncertainty. Harvesting bamboo is a much more sustainable endeavor than cutting down a hardwood tree if you want the soft touch of wood blinds. If you're at all concerned about the environmental impact of your purchases, buying bamboo is a no-brainer.

Matchstick bamboo blinds offer the look of woven wood shades but give the functionality of horizontal blinds often being made with 2" bamboo slats that operate and just like a 2" horizontal blind. So they can be a nice alternative to bamboo roman shades, or woven bamboo blinds.

Some interior designers prefer matchstick bamboo blinds over other types of bamboo blinds due to their weight and uniqueness and the fact that they are easier to customize. Whichever type of bamboo blind you choose though will add an exotic, natural feel to your home of office environment.

Since matchstick bamboo blinds are made of wood, they can fit in with many types of decoration, including the highly traditional and the very modern.
