Basswood slats add real warmth to the design-led interiors found in Kidbrooke Village's apartments and townhouses, giving a natural finish that a synthetic blind can't quite match.
Real wood is a strong finish in Kidbrooke Village living rooms and bedrooms, particularly the townhouses near Sutcliffe Park that already use timber floors. It is a poor choice in a steamy bathroom, so those openings are specified in fauxwood or aluminium and the wood is kept to the dry rooms.
Slats are taped or strung to match the interior: ladder tapes give a heavier, dressed look on a wide living-room window, while cords keep a narrower bedroom window visually light.
Basswood is lighter than tropical hardwood, which matters on wide townhouse windows that would otherwise need a heavier headrail. Stain is chosen against the floor and the doors, not from a generic oak sample that fights the developer's joinery.
Wand or child-safe cord control is fitted in family houses, and the slat tilt is checked at the survey so a south-facing living room can cut glare at midday without shutting the room down.
Bathrooms in the same house stay on fauxwood or aluminium, so the basswood is not asked to live in steam.
Every wooden Venetian blind is made to measure and fitted precisely, so the slats sit flush with the window and open and close smoothly across a family home's daily use.
The natural insulation properties of basswood help regulate temperature across the seasons, particularly useful in the larger, south-facing windows found in some of Kidbrooke's townhouses.
Our wooden Venetian blinds use EN13120-compliant, child-safe mechanisms, which suits the growing number of family households moving into Kidbrooke Village.
Wooden Venetian blinds are made to measure for the living rooms and bedrooms that want warmth, not for every opening in the house. A typical Kidbrooke townhouse schedule mixes basswood in the reception rooms with a moisture-safe slat in the kitchen and bathroom, so the finish is honest about how each room is used.
We record slat width against the window. A 50mm slat suits the larger south-facing panes; a 35mm or 25mm slat is calmer on a bedroom window where a deep slat would dominate the wall.
Ladder-tape colour is part of the specification, not an afterthought. A tape close to the slat colour reads as a plain blind; a contrasting tape is used when the room can take a stronger line. Both are cut and assembled to the measured width so the ladders hang straight.
The headrail is sized for the weight of the slats on that width. Wide living-room windows get a rail and bracket spacing that will not sag once the blind is tilted daily, which is the failure we most often see on underspecified wood.
Fixings follow the frame. Recess fitting gives the cleanest shadow line where the reveal allows it; face fixing is used when a handle or a vent would otherwise foul the slats. Child-safe mechanisms are included on the family-home schedules.
Delivery and fitting are arranged for occupied houses, with floors protected and the old temporary coverings removed. Residents get a short note on dusting the slats and on which rooms should not be shut tight against wet towels.

Kidbrooke Village's family-oriented housing mix, from Berkeley apartments to larger townhouses near Sutcliffe Park, includes plenty of rooms where a natural wood finish suits the interior better than a synthetic alternative.
Wooden Venetian blinds fill that gap, adding genuine warmth to a living room or bedroom without sacrificing the practical adjustability of a slatted blind.
Demand is genuinely mixed rather than seasonal: new families move into Kidbrooke Village throughout the year, which keeps our local fitting schedule busy on a rolling basis.
Because so much of the village is newly built, our team is used to working around developer snagging lists and building-management sign-off.
With Kelly's Blinds, Kidbrooke families get a made-to-measure wooden Venetian blinds fitting service that adds a natural finish to a genuinely new neighbourhood.
Family houses between Sutcliffe Park and the Village are where this finish is asked for most: reception rooms that feel bare with a plain cloth roller, and bedrooms that still need slat control for early light.
Apartment schedules are more selective. A single living room in a Berkeley block may take basswood while the rest of the flat stays in aluminium, and we measure that mix in one visit so the woods and the metals are ordered together.
