Wood blinds are long lasting, durable and easy to clean but they do have their limits. Since wood is a natural product, they can absorb moisture in humid environments and can warp over time, so we don't recommend them for steamy bathrooms or kitchens.  

In those cases, faux wood blinds are a great choice since they don't react to humidity changes and have the same look for your windows. In fact, you can find similar colors of faux wood blinds as wood blinds, including paints and stains.
