I wouldn't be able to inform you if I didn't have a few bamboo window blinds of my own. They have been a favorite home furnishing of mine for as far back as I can remember! The very first week that I moved into my new home I was in search of a few window blinds to put up and the ones that teased my fancy the most were the bamboo varieties. To add to my delight, on installing the blinds I found that they let through light perfectly. It might sound crazy but I often find myself peering dreamily out of them!

I had some doubts about bamboo window blinds in the beginning though, as from what I learnt in my biology class was right - bamboo is merely a type of grass! How on earth could it be durable enough to be made into window blinds and other items of home furnishings? Well, I don't have my doubts anymore - they do a great job!

Hang them up in a warm, sunny place for around half an hour so they that they are completely dry before putting them back in the windows.
