Natural Woven Shades In Independence
Natural Woven Shades (Woven Wood & Bamboo) in Independence, MO
Our Natural Woven Shades are woven wood and bamboo shades made from bamboo, jute, reed and grass, and they suit the Craftsman bungalows and Foursquares in Englewood and Fairmount. The texture picks up the wood trim in those houses, and we measure, quote and install every one ourselves.
Where It Fits In Independence
Where woven wood and bamboo shades fit in Independence
Independence has a lot of original woodwork in its older neighborhoods, and a shade made from natural fibers sits comfortably next to it.
- Craftsman bungalows in EnglewoodBuilt from the 1910s through the 1930s, these houses have grouped front windows and wood trim. A woven shade in reed or grass fits inside each opening and looks like it came with the house.
- Foursquares in FairmountBig square rooms with windows on more than one wall. Two woven shades can share one headrail and valance so a pair of windows reads as one piece.
- Dining rooms near the SquareThe dining room in an older house near the Square has tall windows and plenty of trim. A lined woven shade warms the room and softens the afternoon light.
- Sunrooms out eastA sunroom off a newer two story takes light from three sides. Unlined woven shades filter it so you can sit in the room and still see the yard.
Worth Knowing
Weave, liner and edge binding for an Independence home
No two Natural Woven Shades are exactly alike, because the material is natural, and that variation is the reason people pick them. We carry hundreds of woven fabrics, from tight and fine to loose and rustic, mostly in warm tones. In Independence they go into the houses with the most wood in them: Craftsman bungalows on the streets off Winner Road, Foursquares in Fairmount and the Tudors in Golden Acres. You pick the weave, the color, a standard valance or a waterfall front, and whether two windows share one headrail.
The liner matters more than the weave. Unlined, a woven shade turns daylight into a warm glow and shows off the texture, which is right for a sunroom or a dining room. A light filtering liner gives privacy day and night, and a room darkening liner is the one for a bedroom. Edge binding in a contrasting fabric finishes the sides and keeps them from fraying where they rub a casing or a door handle, and your Design Specialist brings the samples so you can see the weave against your own trim.
Any woven shade on a window facing the street needs a liner, since an unlined weave shows the room once the lamps are on and the cords and rings on the back are visible from the sidewalk. The bungalows in Englewood sit close to the street, so that is the first thing to settle in a front room there. Every window is measured on the free visit, and the itemized quote you get on the spot stays good for 180 days. Woven shades arrive 4 to 6 weeks after you order, and our own Install Techs have most Independence houses done in a day.

Straight Answers
Natural Woven Shades questions from Independence homeowners
Not without a liner. The open weave shows the room once the lamps come on, and the lift cords on the back are visible from outside. A light filtering liner keeps the texture on the inside and gives you full privacy, and a room darkening liner is the choice for a bedroom.
Yes, that's where it looks best. Warm reeds and grasses sit well next to stained or painted wood, and your Design Specialist holds the samples against your own casings so you can see the match before you order.
Yes. On the paired and grouped windows in a bungalow or a Foursquare, we mount two shades on one headrail and valance. Each side raises on its own, and the top reads as one piece.
Yes, with edge binding. Rubbing wears a woven shade, and a back door that opens all day rubs. Binding the edges in fabric protects them, and we mount the shade to clear the handle.
Yes. You can choose Cord Loop, Cordless, PowerWand or Motorized, and three of the four are child safe. Lined woven shades get heavy on a tall or wide window, and a motor takes the effort out of raising them.
Yes. The Carefree Guarantee includes a lifetime product warranty that stays with the house if you sell, and our Five Year Service Guarantee covers defects at no charge. If a cord or rail gives you trouble, one call brings an Install Tech out.
