Where It Fits In Peoria
Warm Texture For Peoria Homes Old And New
Woven shades bring a warm, natural texture to any room, and they pair beautifully with wood trim, brick and stone.
- East Bluff And Uplands HomesThe early 1900s homes in these neighborhoods run from Queen Anne to Craftsman. A woven shade adds warmth next to the wood trim without hiding it.
- Kitchens With Tile And StoneWarm, textured materials against cold, hard finishes like tile, stone and stainless steel are a great combination. Just keep the shade clear of the cooktop.
- Bedrooms And Media RoomsA room darkening liner blocks the direct and glowing light through the center of the shade, which makes a comfortable space for naps and movie nights.
- Street Facing WindowsUnlined woven shades aren't fully private at night, so on any window that faces the street we always recommend adding a liner.
Liners And Materials
Choosing The Right Liner For Each Room
The liner is the decision that matters most on a Natural Woven Shade. With no liner, light filters through the weave and leaves a soft, sheer view out. Add a light filtering liner and the shade is private day and night, and it takes the direct ball of the sun off your floors and furniture. A room darkening liner blocks even the glow through the center of the shade, for a bedroom or a media room.
Because every panel is woven from natural material, no two shades are exactly alike, and that variation is what gives a room its warmth. We order all of the shades for one room together to keep them as consistent as possible. If you're layering drapery over them, which is the classic pairing, your Design Specialist will plan both at the same visit.
We carry hundreds of natural woven fabrics, and texture is very hard to judge from a photograph, so your Design Specialist brings the samples to your Peoria home to hold against your own trim, walls and floors. Choose cord loop, cordless, PowerWand or motorized operation, and add edge binding or a waterfall style if you like. Your exact quote is written on the spot, and installation follows in 4 to 6 weeks.

Straight Answers
Natural Woven Shades questions from Peoria homeowners
Yes. Our functional liners let you lower the liner behind the woven shade when you want privacy or a darker room, and raise it again when you want the light filtering through the weave. Your Design Specialist will show you how it works at your consultation.
Yes. A woven shade over a sink works well. We keep them away from the range and out of direct steam, so a shade directly above a cooktop is the one spot we'll steer you away from.
No, not exactly. Grasses and reeds change a little from one batch to the next, so we place the order for a whole room at once, and the small differences are part of what makes a natural shade look natural.
It can be. A lined woven shade has some weight to it, and a room darkening liner stacks a little thicker at the top. A PowerWand or a motor takes the effort away completely, and your Design Specialist will help you pick the right operating system for each window.
No. Edge binding adds a decorative border in a contrasting color, and it also protects the edges, which can fray if something keeps rubbing against them. Your Design Specialist brings the binding fabrics along with the shade samples.
Yes. The price depends on the size of each window, the weave you pick, the liner, the operating system and extras like edge binding, and your Design Specialist writes all of it into an exact, itemized quote on the spot. That quote holds for 180 days, so you have time to decide.
