Why Customers Rate These Wood Blinds So Highly
SmartPrivacy Cordless 2" Wood Blinds: Our Most Reviewed Wood Blind
SmartPrivacy is the most reviewed blind on this list, and it keeps a near-perfect score. Standard blinds have cord holes through the middle of each slat, which let pinpoints of light through. SmartPrivacy moves those holes to the back edge of the slat, so less light leaks through and you get more privacy when the blind is closed. It's real hardwood with a free cordless lift, in whites, stains and modern colors like Matte Black and Rustic Gray.
Designer 2" Cordless Basswood Blinds: Top Rated Basswood
Made from 100% basswood, a lightweight, straight-grained hardwood that resists warping. The Cordless Lift & Lock handle raises or lowers the blind with the press of a button and holds it in place when you let go. It's GREENGUARD Certified for low chemical emissions and comes in 16 colors, from bright whites to natural oak and darker stains.

How We Rank Our Highest Rated Wood Blinds
We rank wood blinds by their average customer rating, then look at the number of reviews behind that score. A blind with a high rating across many reviews has a more proven track record than one with a perfect score from only a few. Newer blinds may move up the list as more customers review them.

Highest Rated vs. Best Selling Wood Blinds
Highest rated reflects how customers score their blinds after installation; best selling reflects what customers buy most. A premium blind may earn top ratings with fewer sales behind it, while a value favorite may sell more. Compare both on our best selling wood blinds page.
Is Real Wood Right for Your Room?
Real wood blinds are best in dry rooms like living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms and offices. Real wood is not recommended for bathrooms or windows near a sink, where humidity can cause warping. For those rooms, see our highest rated faux wood blinds, or compare the two in real wood vs. faux wood blinds.
Highest Rated Wood Blinds: Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best wooden blinds?

The best choice for your home depends on your needs: SmartPrivacy for privacy, Cordless 2" Wood Blinds for value, Bali Northern Heights for color selection and Designer Basswood for wide windows.
How are the highest rated wood blinds determined?
We rank our wood blinds by average customer rating and the number of reviews behind that rating. Customers score their blinds on quality, appearance and ease of installation.
What is the most private wood blind?
SmartPrivacy Cordless 2" Wood Blinds. Their cord holes sit at the back edge of each slat instead of the center, so less light shines through when the blinds are closed. Like all wood blinds, they are room darkening rather than full blackout.
What slat sizes do your wood blinds come in?
Our wood blinds come in 1 3/8", 2", 2 3/8" and 2 1/2" slats. Most of our highest rated wood blinds use 2" slats, our most popular size. 1 3/8" slats suit smaller windows and doors, while 2 3/8" and 2 1/2" slats give a more open view when tilted.
Are the highest rated wood blinds cordless?
Yes. All four of our highest rated wood blinds offer a cordless lift, which keeps the window clean-looking and is a safer choice for homes with children and pets.
Can I use wood blinds in a bathroom or kitchen?
Real wood is not recommended for bathrooms or windows near a sink, because humidity and moisture can cause warping. Faux wood blinds give the same look and are made for high-moisture rooms.
