Natural Woven Shades In Leawood
Natural Woven Shades in Leawood, KS
Our Solar Shield Blinds Natural Woven Shades, also called woven wood shades and bamboo shades, bring warmth and texture to Leawood homes with bamboo, jute, reed and grass woven by hand. A sunroom in Leawood Estates that's all glass and white trim, or a paneled study along Nall, gets the natural texture that pulls the room together.
Where It Fits In Leawood
Where Natural Woven Shades fit in Leawood
Leawood homeowners who want a layered, collected look ask for woven wood shades by name, and they look right in sunrooms, studies and family rooms alike.
- Sunrooms and garden roomsA glass walled sunroom on a home near 143rd and Mission is bright and hard. Woven grass shades on every window soften the light and add the one natural material the room was missing.
- Paneled studiesA study with wood paneling and bookshelves in a house along Nall wants a shade in the same family. A dark jute or reed in a waterfall style sits right at home with the wood.
- Family rooms with draperyIn the newer homes south of 135th, a woven shade under drapery panels is the layered look. The shade carries the texture and the panels carry the color.
- Mid century ranches near State LineThe old Leawood ranches with original wood floors and wide picture windows take a bamboo shade naturally. Add a liner where the window faces the street.
Worth Knowing
Hundreds of weaves, liners by room, and privacy after dark
Every shade is woven by hand from bamboo, jute, reed and grass, and with hundreds of fabrics to choose from, no two shades are truly identical, which is what gives a Leawood room that warm, collected look. The color moves with the light in the room, so a reed that reads warm in a north facing study reads gold in a west facing family room, and our Design Specialist brings the samples to your house rather than asking you to guess from a swatch card. Edge binding in a contrast fabric gives a tailored edge, and the waterfall style lets the woven fabric drop over the face of the headrail for a clean flow.
The liner is decided room by room. Unlined shows the most weave and looks right in a sunroom or a garden room off the terrace. A light filtering liner keeps the texture and adds privacy for a family room that faces the neighbor. A room darkening liner makes a woven shade work in a primary bedroom in one of the homes toward 151st. Two shades on one headrail cover the wide openings in the newer great rooms. Each liner is its own line on the itemized quote, so the study and the bedroom get what they each need and you see the difference in the price.
It's worth knowing that at night from the outside, unlined natural woven shades are not fully private, and the cords and rings on the back show from the street, so a front room on Mission Road gets a liner. Edges fray where something rubs them, so we'll keep a woven shade off a busy door. The consultation is free, every opening is measured on site, and the quote is held 180 days with no high pressure. Woven shades average 4 to 6 weeks from order to install, and our full time Install Techs put in most Leawood homes in less than a day.

Straight Answers
Natural Woven Shades questions from Leawood homeowners
That layered look, a woven shade under drapery panels, is the one that suits the formal rooms of the newer homes along Mission and Nall. The shade carries the texture, the panels carry the color, and the two are chosen together. Our Design Specialist brings the woven samples and the drapery books to your house in the same visit.
Not at night. With the lamps on, an unlined shade shows shapes to anyone on the sidewalk, and the cords and rings on the back show from outside. For the tall front windows on a house near 135th and Mission, a light filtering liner keeps the texture and adds the privacy. Save unlined for the sunroom and the rooms that face the yard.
Yes. Dark jute and reed weaves in hundreds of fabrics sit well against wood paneling and bookshelves, and the waterfall style drops the woven fabric over the headrail for a clean, finished top. A room darkening liner behind a dark weave lets a study double as a media room. The samples come to your house so you can hold them against the paneling.
The edges fray where something rubs them over and over, and a door that swings against the shade every day is exactly that. On the terrace door in a home toward 143rd we'll put a roller or a vertical honeycomb and keep the woven shades on the windows beside it, so the room still reads as one design and nothing wears out.
A bamboo shade on the wide picture window of a 1950s ranch near State Line looks like it was there from the start, and the original wood floors and clean trim in those houses suit it. Where the window faces the street, add a light filtering liner. Where it faces the back yard, unlined shows the full weave.
Yes. Natural Woven Shades come in Cord Loop, Cordless, PowerWand and Motorized operation, and lined woven shades are heavy, so a motor takes the effort out of it on a wide window. In a Leawood great room with two shades on one headrail, a rechargeable motor needs no wiring and runs both from one remote or the app.
