When is comes to dressing my windows, I don't mind letting nature call the shots. Natural woven shades are one of the most affordable and durable window coverings on the market. When I don't have the budget for a fussy window treatment, this is a go-to look that works without fail. Generally made from bamboo, a readily available and renewable resource, they are eco-friendly and easy to install. If you are like me, you are attempting to bring more of nature into your home. Woven woods are a great way change up your decor. Let's take a look.
For a streamlined modern look, opt for a woven roller shade. When raised, it retracts into a neat roll at the top of the window frame.

Introduce a lighter colored shade into a cream, neutral color palette. It adds texture to the window and gives the space an understated elegance.
Do combine woven shades with metallics. The pairing adds dimension to a blank canvas and keeps a white room from feeling sterile.

Woven shades are available with a functional upgrade known as top-down/bottom-up which provides more privacy and light control.
When selecting a window covering for a room with a view, choose an inside mounted shade. Unlike drapery which obstructs the full view when retracted, raised shades provide a full view of the outdoors.
