Natural Woven Shades In Lee's Summit
Natural Woven Shades (Woven Wood & Bamboo) in Lee's Summit, MO
Our Natural Woven Shades are woven wood and bamboo shades made from bamboo, jute, reed and grass. In Lee's Summit they bring warmth to a bungalow near downtown with its original woodwork and to a lake house at Lakewood, and we measure, quote and install them ourselves.
Where It Fits In Lee's Summit
Where woven wood and bamboo shades fit in Lee's Summit
Lee's Summit has real woodwork downtown and a lake cabin feel at Lakewood and Raintree, and a woven shade made from natural material suits both of them.
- Older homes near downtownStained trim, wood floors and a front porch call for texture. A woven shade in a warm reed or grass sits inside the casing and looks like it has always been part of the house.
- Lake houses with a cabin feelAt Lakewood and Raintree the back of the house faces the water, and a woven shade on the deck door frames the view in natural color.
- Dining rooms in the two storiesThe formal dining room off the entry in a Ward Road two story has a lot of window. A lined woven shade warms the room up and softens the afternoon light.
- Sunrooms and three season roomsA sunroom in Stoney Creek faces the yard all day. Unlined woven shades filter that light into something you can sit in and still see the trees.
Worth Knowing
Choosing a weave and a liner for a Lee's Summit home
Every Natural Woven Shade is made from natural material, so no two are exactly alike, and that variation is what gives a room its warmth. We carry hundreds of woven fabrics, from tight and fine to loose and rustic, in colors that lean warm. In Lee's Summit they end up in the homes with the most character, the older houses near downtown with stained trim and the lake houses at Lakewood and Raintree. You choose the weave, the color, whether the shade has a standard valance or a waterfall front, and whether two windows share one headrail.
The liner is the decision that matters most. An unlined woven shade filters daylight into a warm glow and shows the weave, which suits a sunroom or a dining room. A light filtering liner gives you full privacy day and night, and a room darkening liner is made for a bedroom. Edge binding in a contrasting fabric finishes the sides and protects them, because woven edges can fray where they rub a casing or a door handle. Your Design Specialist brings the samples so you see the weave against your own trim and floors.
On any window that faces the street, add a liner. An unlined woven shade is not private at night, because with the lamps on someone on the sidewalk can see through the weave, and the cords and rings on the back show from outside. The consultation is free, we measure every window, and your itemized quote is written on the spot and held for 180 days. Order to install is 4 to 6 weeks, and our own Install Techs finish most homes in a day.

Straight Answers
Natural Woven Shades questions from Lee's Summit homeowners
Not unlined. The weave that looks so good in daylight shows the room once the lamps come on, and the lift cords on the back are visible from the sidewalk. On a front room facing the street we recommend a light filtering liner, which keeps the texture inside and gives you full privacy. Bedrooms get a room darkening liner.
Yes, with edge binding. Rubbing is what wears a woven shade, and a door that opens all summer at Lakewood or Raintree rubs. Binding the edges in fabric protects them and finishes the look, and we mount the shade so it clears the handle.
Yes. On the double and triple windows in the two stories along Blue Parkway we install two shades on one headrail and valance, so each side lifts on its own and the top reads as one piece.
Yes, with some care. A woven shade over the kitchen sink is common and holds up fine, but we keep them off the range and out of direct steam. In a Lee's Summit kitchen that faces the deck, a light filtering liner also gives you privacy in the evening.
Yes. They come with a Cord Loop, Cordless, PowerWand or Motorized operation, and three of those are child safe. Lined woven shades are heavier, so on a wide window or a tall one in a great room, a motor takes the effort out of it.
Yes. Our Carefree Guarantee covers them with 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 lift cord or a rail ever gives you trouble, one call to our office sets up a visit from an Install Tech.
