Natural woven shades are window coverings made from organic materials like bamboo, grass, reeds, or refined natural fibers, artistically woven into uniquely textured shades. They offer visual interest, light filtering, and an organic ambiance to interior spaces.
So, how do you style woven shades to make the most of their natural features? Our design team at A Shade Above enjoys helping clients with finding the right fit for their interior design and has the answers you want.
What Are the Best Natural Woven Shades?
Hunter Douglas offers these custom natural woven shades crafted from unique, globally sourced fabrics:
- Provenance® Woven Wood Shades are available in Roman, Waterfall Roman, and vertical drapery styles. Their earthy textures and natural materials make them ideal for creating a refined and rustic look. Provenance® Woven Wood Shades can add a sophisticated, textured look to living areas and bedrooms.
The Alustra® Collection of fabrics are made from refined natural fibers like cotton and linen offer a more polished finish—including designer fabrics from Lori Weitzner. These are a perfect choice if you want a sleeker appearance
- Alustra® Woven Textures® Roller Shades combine the best of both worlds—a streamlined appearance constructed from with natural elements. They look like Roman shades and have an independent liner. The liner is within a single shade’s headrail that operates independently of the shade.
- Alustra® Woven Textures® Roman Shades also have light-filtering and room-darkening flat liner options. Choose from sheer, semi-sheer, and semi-opaque fabrications.
- Alustra®Architectural Roller Shades are a unique combination of the convenient functionality of roller shades with the architectural design of Roman shades. Their fabric battens have a chic horizontal line that adds interest to your design.
You can customize Hunter Douglas natural woven shades with different operating systems; ask us about PowerView® Motorization.
Styling Natural Woven Wood Shades
When selecting natural woven shades, consider the function you’re looking for. Depending on the style you choose, they come in four opacities: sheer, semi-sheer, semi-opaque, and opaque. We also order them with different light-filtering or room-darkening liners, depending on a client’s needs.
Here’s how you can style natural woven wood shades:
- The natural beauty of woven wood shades shines when paired with minimalist decor. We suggest neutral colors and simple lines to let the shades’ texture stand out without overwhelming the space.
- Integrate other natural materials, like wooden furniture or stone accents, to create a cohesive look. The shades’ organic texture will harmonize with these elements.
- The clean lines and refined textures of natural woven shades also work well with contemporary furniture. Pair them with modern or thrifted pieces for an elegant or eclectic look.
- The woven fabric of these shades adds tactile interest. Other textured elements in your room, like rugs or cushions, will create a layered, cohesive design.
- Add decorative elements like curtain tiebacks or coordinating drapes to your woven Roman shades.
- Lighting is also an essential factor. Natural woven shades can filter sunlight beautifully, so be mindful of how different lighting conditions affect their appearance throughout the day.
- For added versatility, layer woven wood shades with custom drapery or sheers. That increases privacy and natural light control while adding depth to your window treatments.
