Where It Fits In Champaign
Where Natural Woven Shades Fit In Champaign
Woven shades look right at home against the wood floors and trim in Champaign's older neighborhoods, and they add warmth to the stone, tile, and stainless steel in a newer kitchen.
- Older Homes In Clark ParkClark Park was founded in 1909, a short walk from downtown. A woven shade suits the character of an older home and sits comfortably next to wood trim.
- Kitchens With Hard SurfacesIn a kitchen full of tile, stone, and stainless steel, a woven shade brings in the warmth and texture the room is missing.
- Street Facing WindowsWithout a liner, a woven shade lets the room show through after dark. On a window that faces the street, a light filtering liner behind the weave keeps it private day and night.
- Under Drapery PanelsA woven shade is the most common shade we layer under drapery. The shade handles the light at the glass, and the panels frame the window on either side.
Choosing A Liner
No liner, a privacy liner, or a room darkening liner
The liner is the biggest decision you'll make with a woven shade. With no liner, light filters through the weave and you keep a soft sheer view out, but the room shows through at night. A light filtering liner makes the shade private around the clock and keeps the direct sun off your floors and furniture. A room darkening liner goes further and blocks the glow through the center of the shade, which is great for a nap or a movie.
Each shade is woven from plant fibers, so no two come out exactly alike, and that natural variation is where the warmth comes from. Edge binding adds a decorative border in a contrasting fabric, and the waterfall style lets the woven fabric drop over the front of the headrail for a clean flow from top to bottom.
With hundreds of natural weaves to choose from, the best way to pick one is to see it at your own window. Your Design Specialist brings the samples to your Champaign home and holds them against your trim, walls, and floors. Choose from Cord Loop, Cordless, PowerWand, or Motorized operation, and plan on 4 to 6 weeks from order to final installation.

Straight Answers
Natural Woven Shades questions from Champaign homeowners
No. The weave has gaps by design, so an unlined shade leaves the room visible from outside at night. A privacy liner fixes that at any hour, and a room darkening liner is the one to choose for a bedroom or a media room.
Closely, but not exactly. Natural material varies within and between production runs, and that is part of the look. Ordering every shade for the room at the same time keeps them as close as possible, so we plan it that way.
Yes, with some care. We keep woven shades away from the range and the steam that comes off it. Over the kitchen sink is a great spot for one, but directly above a cooktop is not.
Lined woven shades are heavier than unlined ones, and a room darkening liner adds the most weight. Motorization takes the effort away completely, and the PowerWand is an affordable way to lift and lower the shade with the touch of a button.
Only if something rubs against them over and over, like a drapery panel or a piece of furniture. We plan the install so nothing brushes past the shade, and edge binding gives the sides a finished border that protects them and looks great.
Yes, when you choose the right operating system. Cordless, PowerWand and Motorized are all child safe, and of the four operating systems, only the Cord Loop has a cord you can reach. Your Design Specialist will help you pick the right one for each room in your Champaign home.
