Are Woven Wood or Bamboo Shades Right For Me?

If you’re looking for a wood alternative for your next window treatments, then look no further than woven wood shades and bamboo shades. Both of them bring in the natural and earthy tones that you love, without the maintenance and price of real wood. Today’s Budget Blinds of Tempe and Central Phoenix blog will go over which one is right for your home. 

Keep in mind, though, that both of these window treatments are made of organic materials, meaning they will be affected by moisture and high humidity. We recommend keeping them out of specific rooms, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms. Despite that, they make great additions to living rooms, dining rooms, foyers, and bedrooms! 

Woven Wood Shades

Our woven wood shades are created from natural, renewable, and sustainable materials like rattan reeds, natural woods, jute, bamboo, and a number of different grasses. They are eco-friendly and are the perfect match for anyone who wants to add some texture to their home. 

There are several styles of woven wood shade and they each are named after the material that makes them special. You can get your woven wood shades in standard or looped Roman-style offering you further customization to find your perfect aesthetic. 

Don’t forget the wide range of hues, colors, and tones that can fit your rooms perfectly. Lighter wood tones to pair with bright, white, or neutral rooms, or the darker shades to match a room with bold or dark wood colors and accents.

Woven Wood Shades Add Texture to Your Home

Though they’re not true wood, woven wood shades bring in the same warmth and texture as traditional wood blinds or shutters. 

They are versatile too — you can pair them with a traditional style, a rustic style, a modern style, and so much more. They are an excellent and timeless neutral design choice that can go with just about anything. 

Woven Wood Shades Offer Great Light Control

On their own, woven wood shades are amazing at diffusing light. With a privacy liner, they can become blackout shades! Either way, woven wood shades are excellent at keeping UV rays (and therefore heat) out of your home. 

Due to their design, these shades still let in a small amount of natural light when closed. As a result, you get privacy and protection from the sun without plunging your home into darkness

Eco-Friendly

Woven wood shades are made from natural materials which means they are eco-friendly. The look and feel of natural materials add texture and dimension to any room, giving you the satisfaction of knowing that your new shades come to you without harming the environment.

Bamboo Shades 

Bamboo shades can enhance light and add dimension to a room, all while providing the same exact functions as traditional blinds. They are a lot like woven wood shades, but the main difference is that they are made of bamboo, which is more sustainable and eco-friendly. 

Budget Blinds of Tempe and Central Phoenix bamboo window shades are available in a variety of different styles, such as tandem, unlined, and traditional lined Roman shades. With our available blackout liner, bamboo shades completely block out sunlight and help with enhanced energy efficiency as well. 

Bamboo Blinds are Versatile

Naturally elegant, bamboo blinds can also add character to a home. From natural and simplistic to contemporary and chic, there is a bamboo texture to match any style in any room of the house. 

There are many great benefits to bamboo window shades, one of them being their versatility. They come in three different shades: light, medium, or dark and each of those shades has a variety of natural tones, colors, and textures that really brings out their natural beauty. 

Additionally, bamboo blinds can be fixed to fit any window shape!

Low-Maintenance

Bamboo blinds are easy to maintain and clean. All they need is a light dusting about once a week.

For a deeper clean, you can use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment. We don’t recommend exposing them to excessive moisture or harsh chemicals, though, so keep that in mind!

Eco-Friendly & Affordable

With more industries going green and eco-friendly products becoming prominent, bamboo shades are a highly sought-after window treatment. Because they’re bamboo, they are highly sustainable thanks to how quickly bamboo can grow and be harvested.
