Woven Wood Shades: Bringing Nature to the Window
Woven wood shades, also known as natural shades, bring texture and rustic character to a room, making them an ideal choice for homeowners who want warmth beyond what traditional fabric shades can provide. They complement coastal, farmhouse, transitional, and cabin inspired interiors.
Handwoven from natural materials such as bamboo, reeds, grasses, and woods, each shade has its own variations and weaves. The pattern, material, liner, and shade style all influence the finished appearance and level of privacy.
Woven wood shades are available unlined, light-filtering, or room-darkening liners, as well as features such as top-down/bottom-up operation, edge banding, decorative valances, and automation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Woven Wood Shades
Privacy depends on the openness of the weave and whether a liner is added. Adding light-filtering or room-darkening liners provide greater privacy and less visibility when interior lights are on at night.
Use a soft brush attachment on a low suction vacuum or a clean microfiber duster to remove surface dust. Avoid soaking the material or using harsh cleaners because natural fibers can discolor, warp, or weaken. Spot cleaning should be done carefully according to the manufacturer's care instructions. For more detailed care instructions across all your window treatments, see our full cleaning and maintenance guide.
