What about 6 massive pots? Two one either side of the bay windows and one on either side of the front door. (I too have a massive gray gravel drive way. Trying to plant through the gravel brings on a whole other set of challenges. Pots are just more practical, for me anyway.) I love those trees in the lawn area.:) And the green trim. Also, how would that bright area around the front door look painted a shade a bit closer to the color of the brick and stone areas?

Hi Neerb We currently stock both and there are a couple of things to consider when purchasing.To brake the above down: wooden - more expensive looking less cords but may warp in sunlight Wood may warp but this depends on two main factors, the type of wood used and the humidity in the room. Wood Venetians are mainly manufactured from Bass Wood or Sheerwood. We have been supplying bass and sheer for nearly 10 years now and have yet to have a complaint. There is a cheaper alternative which is raman wood and in my opinion, it is cheaper for a reason, one being it tends to warp quite easily.I don't understand why there are less cords though! Wood will also discolor over time. faux wood - no warping and more durable against sun ( house is south facing ) yet quite plastic look and feel With the faux, it is slowly overtaking wood in terms of sales. This is because alot of homes can suffer from either moisture build up around the windows or high temperatures. Again, depending on the manufacturer, some of them do look quite plastic. Shop around and see what you prefer, but price wise, they should be around the same money. If we can offer any advice please let us know, Regards Dave
