This time on the blog, we are talking woven wood bamboo Roman shades!

What are Bamboo Roman Shades?

Before we get too deep into it, let’s talk about what this style of blinds even is. After all, we have Roman shades, and we have bamboo shades, so it might seem complicated. Let’s briefly talk about those two styles.

Roman Shades

Roman shades from Budget Blinds are an amazing range of beautiful fabrics, lift systems, and options that provide a wealth of options and customizability. They have a truly classic flair for modern style.

Bamboo Shades

We lovingly call bamboo shades ‘Nature’s Own’ with good reason! Made of woven wood, bamboo blinds are eco-friendly, and  as durable as they are sustainable! They imbue a room with a casual elegance, filtering light and giving texture in rich, earthy tones.

So...What about Bamboo Roman Shades then?

Bamboo Roman shades are simply a more specific name for the type of Roman shades that are made using the bamboo material. Like all Roman shades they are a flat surface when fully extended, they filter light, and both styles of blinds have a timeless look. Bamboo has been used as decor for over 7,000 years! You can be sure that if you decide to invest in bamboo window coverings, they won’t ever go out of style.

Let’s answer some frequently asked questions when it comes to bamboo blinds.

Are Bamboo Roman Shades and Blinds Waterproof?

While water probably isn’t the biggest concerns for us here in the Valley of the Sun, we do get our occasional monsoon. Luckily, bamboo thrives in wet, humid environments so a little rain won’t hurt them in the slightest. The wind is another story, but so long as you keep your window coverings secured, bamboo is a sturdy option, great for interior and exterior use. Place them around your patio and get some nice shade!

Can Bamboo Roman Shades be Cordless?

Part of the appeal of roman shades are the ability to get them in so many styles and systems including cordless. When it comes to bamboo Roman shades… Of course they can be cordless! Bamboo also makes for a naturally rougher surface for the shades as well, going cordless can eliminate any worry of catching.

Are Bamboo Shades Private Enough?

Simple bamboo shades allow light to filter through.  We have solutions to privacy concerns. That's what we do - find solutions and get you what you want.  You get your privacy and your classic style, win/win.
