Environmentally friendly materials form the backbone of these highly functional window treatments.
Common types of woven wood shades include:
Natural grass- Bamboo
- Jute fiber
- Reed
- Rattan
It’s common to see these blinds woven together with a natural fiber like cotton twine in colors ranging from soft beige tones all the way to dark, rich chocolaty browns.
Hunter Douglas Provenance® Woven Wood Shades allow for a diffused, soft light to filter through into your rooms, although there are sometimes options to have this style of blind covered with a back lining, which would block out a lot of light and make your windows more energy efficient. When drawn up, they can provide just as much light into your rooms as other traditional styles.
Natural blinds work with a wide variety of décor and designs. Any homes designed with green materials or a nod to environmentally friendly styling will be a perfect fit. Asian décor is well complimented by bamboo or dark wood, while modern country is suited to a traditional slatted style.
In Naples and Fort Myers, we install window treatments to a lot of beach homes that match rattan furnishings to a soft woven wood shade of similar materials.
