Natural Woven Shades In Olathe
Natural Woven Shades (Woven Wood & Bamboo) in Olathe, KS
Our Natural Woven Shades, also known as woven wood shades and bamboo shades, bring warmth and texture to Olathe homes. Each one is woven by hand from bamboo, jute, reed and grass, so it adds a natural material that paint and drywall can't.
Where It Fits In Olathe
Where Natural Woven Shades belong in Olathe
Warm, textured materials look their best against colder finishes like tile, stone and painted trim, and Olathe homes have plenty of both.
- New builds with white trimA room with white trim, pale walls and hard floors can feel cold. A honey or caramel colored bamboo weave warms it up without a paint change.
- Original Town and older trimA jute or reed weave sits well against the stained wood trim in the older homes near Santa Fe Street, and a light filtering liner adds privacy.
- Lake views in Cedar CreekAn unlined weave filters the light and leaves a soft sheer view out toward Shadow Lake during the day. Add a liner in the rooms that need privacy at night.
- Wide windowsTwo shades on one headrail and one valance cover a wide opening, and each side lifts on its own.
Worth Knowing
Weaves, liners and privacy for woven wood shades
Because every panel is woven from a natural material, no two shades are exactly alike, and that variation is what gives a room its warmth. We carry hundreds of natural woven fabrics, from tight, dark weaves to open, honey colored ones. Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants on earth, and jute is an annual plant that is biodegradable, so these shades are also a sustainable choice for your Olathe home.
The liner is the decision that changes how the shade works. Unlined, the light filters through the weave and leaves a soft sheer view out. A light filtering liner gives full privacy day and night and takes the direct sun off your furniture and flooring. A room darkening liner blocks direct and glowing light, which makes the shade work in a bedroom or a media room. Edge binding adds a decorative border, and the waterfall style lets the woven fabric flow over the front of the headrail.
An unlined woven shade is not fully private at night, and the cords and rings on the back can show from outside, so we always recommend a liner on a window facing the street. The edges can fray with excessive rubbing, so we plan each shade clear of door handles and window cranks. Your Design Specialist brings the samples to your home, measures every opening, and writes an exact itemized quote on the spot. Natural Woven Shades take 4 to 6 weeks from order to installation.

Straight Answers
Natural Woven Shades questions from Olathe homeowners
Yes. Woven wood shades and bamboo shades are other names for our Natural Woven Shades. Each one is woven by hand from bamboo, jute, reed or grasses, and we carry hundreds of weaves, so your Design Specialist can show you tight weaves, open weaves and every tone in between at your Olathe home.
Without a liner, yes. With the lights on inside, the weave shows shapes and movement, and the cords and rings on the back show from outside. A light filtering or room darkening liner gives full privacy day and night, and we always recommend one on a street facing window or a bedroom.
Yes, with a little planning. A Natural Woven Shade over the kitchen sink is common and works well. We keep them off the range and out of direct steam, so the window right above a cooktop is the one spot we'd steer you to a faux wood blind instead.
A light filtering liner takes the direct sun off your furniture and flooring and helps keep the room at a more comfortable temperature. For a large wall of west glass, a solar screen Roller Shade inside or an Exterior Patio Shade outside will do more to stop the heat, and your Design Specialist will show you both.
Yes, when you choose a cordless, PowerWand or motorized lift, since all three have no accessible cord. Lined woven shades are heavier, so on a large window a motor takes the effort out of lifting it.
Closely, but not exactly, because natural materials vary within and between production runs. That's why we order every woven shade for an Olathe room at the same time, so the color runs as even as it can. The small variations in the grasses and reeds are part of the look, not a flaw.
