Bamboo Window Shades Provide a Natural Exotic Look
Bamboo window shades add a casual textured look to any room. Also called woven wood shades, bamboo shades (despite their name) come in a variety of man-made and natural materials such as wild grasses, matchsticks, reeds, wood planks, twine and ropes as well as bamboo. Different styles may use one or more of these materials woven together in various patterns, providing anything from a rustic to a sophisticated touch.
Features such as cordless, motorized and top down bottom up lift mechanisms are available for bamboo window shades. If you have high or hard to reach windows, motorized shades provide convenient easy operation. Cordless shades eliminate dangling cords which are not only unsightly but also are a safety hazard for young children. Shades with top down bottom up operation can be raised from the bottom, lowered from the top, or both, providing light control and privacy. Some shades come with optional blackout liners, making them a good choice for home theaters and bedrooms.
Installation of bamboo shades is an easy DIY project. Learn how in this Blindsgalore video:
