Bring Nature Indoors With Woven Wood Shades
Roman shades, with their soft folds of material and classic style, have always been a customer favorite here in the Dallas area. Today, we have a new window covering option with the style of roman shades and the added bonus of being an environmentally friendly product. Woven woods shades combine the ease and convenience of a Roman shade, but the soft folds have been replaced with reeds, grasses and woods.

Hunter Douglas, the premiere window covering company in the world, has two woven wood shade products to choose from:

Key Characteristics 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
Customize your woven wood shades by adding a valance, edge banding or combining fabric textures and colors. The possibilities are endless!
