Knotty Alder Plantation Shutters: A benefit of this hardwood is that it has no problems with sap or mineral streaks allowing it to have an even, uniform appearance in grain and color.
    Ash Plantation Shutters: This wood can be made to blend with other woods, such as oak, by simply tweaking the stain. This is best achieved when using a medium to dark color, so that the natural pigments of the two woods don’t interfere with the finish.
    Knotty Pine (Eastern White Pine) Plantation Shutters: This wood absorbs the stain easily, most often using a light stain color to highlight the knots and the warmth of the wood.
    Mahogany Plantation Shutters: This wood not only accepts stain well, but when it does it has a lustrous quality. Dark, rich browns with red undertones are the most common complement to the natural beauty of this wood.
    Wormy Chestnut Plantation Shutters: Wormy Chestnut does well with a simple, light stain to show off its beauty. A tobacco color, for example, nicely accents the wood’s unique characteristics.
Wood Blinds: When Plantation Shutters Aren’t Your Thing

When you’re styling the rooms in your house it may be easy to think plantation shutters are a great fit, but not every budget or style makes them a suitable choice. Luckily, you don’t have to leave your windows bare or rely solely on drapes to get you by. In fact, other than the availability of fabulous goodwood plantation shutters, there are options for a full range of beautiful, real wood blinds. These wood blinds are a natural complement to many styles of décor and budgets.

Having options is basically the American way, right? For this reason, our wood blinds make it possible for you to have various styles. With real wood blinds you can choose to have them painted, stained, or crafted with one of our speciality finishes. With many colors and design opportunities to choose from it’s easy to make wood blinds just as unique of a window treatment as plantation shutter would be.

The best part about wood blinds is that, unlike plastic blinds, the slats won’t bend in the middle if someone were to tug on them. This makes them more durable that you average department store blinds. The slats are also wonderfully adjustable which makes it possible for you to keep the blinds closed for ultimate privacy, slightly open them to allow just enough light in, or open them completely to see everything outside.

Plantation shutters are sought after in many households to bring a certain elegance and charm, but not everyone wants every room in their home to have the windows have such a heavy look. It’s understandable that some people may desire a more delicate design rather than plantation shutters, but yet still want materials that offer a natural look and feel. Luckily, in this case goodwood® has many other options available to suit the needs of those searching for something a little more subtle.

Aside from plantation shutters, our woven wood shades are a fantastic choice for dressing up many windows in your house! Just like our plantation shutters, our woven wood shades are also carefully crafted into stunning functional treatments.

They offer a subtle texture to your window treatments and can also be very flattering under draperies so you don’t have to give up your curtains if you’re partial to them. If you don’t have curtains, valances, or drapes at all that’s perfectly fine, as well. These shades, when placed alone will provide a perfectly streamlined look.

Another wonderful aspect about the natural reeds and grass materials of goodwood woven wood shades is that they can be utilized in many different design styles as they can be made in different colors. Thus, whether you have rustic décor or modern, we can make the woven wood shades work for you.

So, if plantation shutters just don’t fit your style, there’s no need to worry, simply consider woven wood shades instead. We offer custom work to fit your needs and we would be happy to help you decide which design will be best for your home project. "
