Timber venetian blinds remain one of the most popular window treatments in Australian homes and offices. They offer something synthetic materials simply cannot replicate: the natural warmth, texture and character of real wood paired with practical light control and lasting durability.
Our basswood and cedar venetian blinds bring together two timbers with complementary strengths. Basswood provides a fine, straight grain with a consistently smooth finish, making it ideal for painted and stained slats that look uniform across every window. Cedar contributes natural resistance to moisture, insects and decay, qualities that make it particularly well suited to the Australian climate.
Together, these materials deliver a venetian blind that is lightweight enough to operate smoothly day after day, yet strong enough to maintain its shape and appearance for 20 years or more with basic care.
Both basswood and cedar produce natural oils that protect against heat, humidity and sudden temperature changes. Unlike PVC or faux wood alternatives, these timbers resist warping, cracking and peeling even after years of direct sun exposure. Cedar also carries natural antimicrobial properties, helping to keep your living space healthier.
Custom made timber venetian blinds don't have to be expensive. Because you're buying direct from our factory in Prospect, NSW, there's no retail markup. Our basswood and cedar venetians start from just $128 per blind, factory direct pricing that cuts out the middleman entirely.
The horizontal slat design gives you complete control over how much light enters your room. Tilt the slats to redirect sunlight towards the ceiling while keeping the view, close them fully for complete privacy, or raise them entirely to open up the window. This flexibility makes timber venetians a practical choice for bedrooms, living rooms, home offices and bathrooms.
Timber is a natural insulator. When closed, basswood and cedar venetian blinds create an additional barrier between your windows and the room, helping to regulate temperature and reduce energy costs. They also block harmful UV rays that cause furniture, flooring and soft furnishings to fade over time.
Keeping your timber venetians looking fresh takes minimal effort. A quick wipe with a feather duster or soft microfibre cloth removes surface dust. For deeper cleaning, a lightly damp cloth is all you need.
We source our timber from certified sustainable regions. Both basswood and cedar are renewable, recyclable and biodegradable, and require far less energy to manufacture than synthetic alternatives. Choosing timber blinds that last two decades also means less waste going to landfill from replacing cheaper products every few years.
Choosing between basswood and cedar depends on where the blinds will be installed and the look you’re after.
Basswood is the go-to choice for most rooms. It’s lightweight, easy to operate and takes paint and stain beautifully for a uniform, contemporary look. Available in 50mm slat widths, our basswood venetians come in white, cream and nutmeg finishes. These are versatile colours that work with almost any interior style.
Western red cedar is the premium option for spaces where moisture resistance matters. Its natural oils repel water and resist fungal growth, making cedar venetian blinds ideal for bathrooms, laundries and kitchens. Our cedar slats come in a 45mm width with a natural red cedar finish that showcases the timber’s distinctive grain and warm tones.
Both timbers are durable enough for daily use and handle the demands of busy households with kids and pets.

PVC venetian blinds have a lower entry price and excel in humid environments like bathrooms and kitchens. In dry living areas, bedrooms and offices however, timber venetian blinds outperform PVC on durability, insulation and appearance, and can last 20 years or more with proper care.
You’ll need a width measurement and a height measurement. The approach varies slightly depending on whether you’re mounting inside or outside the window frame. Our detailed measuring guide covers both options step by step.
