Where It Fits In South Kansas City
Where Natural Woven Shades Fit In South Kansas City, MO
Woven shades suit the homes with character, the ranches under the trees and any room with wood trim or wood floors.
- Ranches with original woodworkReed and bamboo weaves pick up the tone of the stained trim and wood floors in a mid century ranch, so the window looks like it was always meant to be that way.
- Rooms looking into the treesAn unlined woven shade turns the light through a mature canopy into a soft glow. On the back of a home in Verona Hills, that glow makes the whole room feel warm.
- Front rooms with close neighborsA woven shade with a privacy liner adds privacy from the house next door and warmth to a smaller room at the same time.
- Dens and dining roomsEdge banding gives a den or a dining room a tailored look, and two shades on one headrail keep the paired windows in a split level lined up.
Worth Knowing
Liners, Street Views And Edge Care
Our woven shades are made from natural materials such as bamboo, reeds and jute, and because the material is natural, slight color variations and an uneven weave are part of each shade. That suits the South Kansas City homes that still have their original character, like the ranches in Santa Fe Hills and Red Bridge with wood floors and stained trim. We bring the samples to your home because a woven shade changes with the light, and dappled light under a big tree looks very different from a showroom.
The liner is the main decision. Unlined gives the most glow and the least privacy, a privacy liner keeps the room private day and night, and a room darkening liner turns it into a bedroom shade. Edge banding adds a finished border that also protects the edge. There are over 100 options, with Cord Loop, Cordless, PowerWand and Motorized operation, and a motor is a big help on a heavier lined shade in a home with kids.
Unlined, a woven shade is not private at night, and the cords and rings on the back show from the street. The edges can fray where something rubs against them. A liner and edge banding solve all three, and your Design Specialist will tell you which windows need them. The consultation is free, every opening is measured, the quote is itemized on the spot with the price held for 180 days, and our lead time is 4 to 6 weeks from order to installation.

Straight Answers
Natural Woven Shades questions from South Kansas City homeowners
No. After dark with the lamps on, an unlined woven shade shows the room to anyone outside. A privacy liner closes the room off at night, and a room darkening liner goes further for a bedroom. Your Design Specialist brings both so you can see them in your own window.
Yes. There are tones from pale straw to deep brown, and because we bring them to your home you can hold them right against the trim and the floor. The ranches in Santa Fe Hills and Red Bridge with their original woodwork are some of the best rooms we see for a woven shade.
On an unlined shade, yes, the cords and rings on the back can be seen from outside, which matters on a front window facing the sidewalk. A liner covers them. On the back of the house looking into the trees, many South Kansas City clients skip the liner and enjoy the glow.
Yes. Our Natural Woven Shades were featured on Bargain Mansions on the Magnolia Network with host Tamara Day, a local Kansas City interior designer. The shades we bring to a South Kansas City consultation come from the same product line, and you see the weaves in your own light.
Closely, and not exactly. Natural material varies within and between production runs, which is part of the look. We order all the shades for a room together to keep them as consistent as possible.
Yes. Lined woven shades are heavier, and a motor removes the effort entirely, which helps on the wide windows in a Hickman Mills or Ruskin Heights split level. It runs from a remote, the app or your voice, and a rechargeable motor needs no wiring.
