A Natural Look in Window Coverings
A popular home decorating trend here in the Charleston area is the natural look. Soft colors from nature and earthy accents bring a sense of warmth and serenity to any room. For window treatments, woven wood shades work wonderfully with this decor theme. Woven woods resemble Roman shades, but instead of soft folds of material, they are made with natural material such as reeds, woods, and grasses. These innovative shades are also environmentally friendly because they are made from renewable materials.
Features of a Woven Wood Shade
Woven wood shades offer that one-of-a-kind look that you cannot get from fabric shades. With distinctive variations in color and other minor flaws, these shades have a charm that can only come from nature. For example:
- Natural fibers will react to changes in heat and humidity.
- Color may change over time depending on the material selected and the exposure to sunlight
- Pattern consistency may vary and there could be minor spacing or gap difference throughout the shade, adding to its uniqueness
Design Applications for Woven Woods
Woven wood shades are a great window treatment for any room. In the kitchen, woven wood shades are durable and can bring out the natural textures in your cabinetry. In a living room or dining room, woven wood shades serve as a subtle design element that doesn’t take away from other focal points in the room, such as furniture, wallcoverings, or artwork. In bedrooms, add a room-darkening liner for extra privacy and edge banding to match your bedding. In any room, add a custom fabric valance bring color to your window treatments.
