NATURAL SHADES & WOVEN WOOD SHADES
Often when people or designers select a window covering they choose neutral colours and textures which blend in with the architecture so as to not take away from the design details and accessories around it.
Sometimes a room calls for more and you want to make a bolder design statement on your windows. A natural shade, or bamboo shade or woven wood shades is a perfect solution with their rich textures and colours from various woods, reeds, grasses, bamboo and jute.
Filter light with stylish natural shades
Natural wooden shades come in many thicknesses and its fibres can be tightly woven for less light seepage or more loosely woven with more light-filtering.
Like many shades, light-filtering may be required yet you still might want to see a muted view so there are lots of types to choose from depending on your style and aesthetic.
