Natural Woven Shades In Pekin
Natural Woven Wood & Bamboo Shades in Pekin, IL
Bamboo, jute, reeds and grasses go into our Solar Shield Blinds Natural Woven Shades, the style also known as woven wood or bamboo shades, and they give a room texture a flat fabric can't. In Pekin, Illinois they look right next to the original woodwork in a Park Avenue home and just as good in a new kitchen out by Lake Whitehurst.
Where It Fits In Pekin
Natural Texture For Pekin Homes
Woven shades pair well with wood trim, brick, stone and hardwood floors, and Pekin has all of those in houses of every age.
- Park Avenue And Washington StreetHomes from around 1900 with rich original woodwork call for a shade that adds warmth without covering the trim, and a woven shade does exactly that.
- Wooded Lots At Lake WhitehurstA house surrounded by trees suits a natural material at the window, and the weave lets the green outside show through during the day.
- Kitchens With Stone CountersGrass and bamboo against tile, stone and stainless steel soften a hard room. Keep the shade a safe distance from the cooktop.
- Street Facing BedroomsAn unlined woven shade isn't private at night, so any bedroom facing the street should get a liner behind the weave.
Liners And Materials
The liner decides how each woven shade behaves
With no liner, daylight comes through the weave and you keep a soft view out. Put a light filtering liner behind it and the room is private around the clock, with the hard sun kept off your rugs and upholstery. A room darkening liner blocks the glow through the middle of the shade too, which is what a bedroom or a TV room needs.
Every shade is woven from natural material, so no two match perfectly, and that small variation is what makes a room feel warm instead of uniform. Ordering every shade for a room in one batch keeps the color and weave as even as the material allows. Drapery layered over a woven shade is a classic pairing, and your Design Specialist can plan both on the same visit.
Texture is impossible to judge from a photo, so your Design Specialist brings hundreds of woven samples to your Pekin home to hold beside your trim and floors. Operation can be a cord loop, cordless, a PowerWand or a motor, and edge binding or a waterfall fold are options on top of that. You'll have the exact quote during the visit, and our Install Techs are back to hang the shades 4 to 6 weeks after you order.

Straight Answers
Natural Woven Shades questions from Pekin homeowners
Yes. A functional liner lowers behind the woven shade when you want privacy or a darker room, and goes back up when you want the light coming through the weave again.
Yes. A woven shade over the sink works well, as long as it stays away from the range and out of direct steam. Right above a cooktop is the one spot we'll steer you away from.
No. Reeds and grasses vary a little from batch to batch, so we order a whole room together, and those small differences are part of the natural look.
They carry some weight, and a room darkening liner stacks thicker at the top. A PowerWand or a motor takes the effort out of it, and your Design Specialist will match the operating system to each window.
Yes. Binding adds a border in a contrasting color, and it also protects the edges of the weave from fraying where something rubs against them.
Yes. Size, weave, liner, operating system and extras like binding all go into an exact, itemized quote written during your visit, and that quote holds for 180 days.
