Natural Woven Shades In Springfield
Natural Woven & Bamboo Shades in Springfield, IL
Our Solar Shield Blinds Natural Woven Shades, also called woven wood or bamboo shades, bring the warmth of bamboo, jute, reed and grass to your Springfield, Illinois home. A room with painted walls, hard floors and bare windows can feel unfinished, and a natural weave at the window adds the texture it's missing.
Where It Fits In Springfield
Where Natural Woven Shades Fit In Springfield
Natural woven fabrics suit older homes with wood trim just as well as newer homes with a lot of hard finishes.
- Homes Around Washington ParkThe streets around Washington Park include homes from the early 1900s, like the Gov. Richard Yates House on Williams Boulevard. A natural weave sits well against wood trim and makes a front room feel warm.
- Kitchens With Stone And TileTile counters, stone and stainless steel make a kitchen feel hard. A woven shade over the sink or the breakfast table softens the whole room.
- Bedrooms That Need PrivacyAdd a light filtering or room darkening liner behind the weave and the room stays private at every hour. The room darkening liner makes a bedroom comfortable for a nap.
- Wide Living Room WindowsTwo shades on one headrail and valance cover a wide window and lift on their own. The waterfall style lets the woven fabric flow over the headrail for a clean look.
Liners And Privacy
Choosing the weave, then the liner
No two Natural Woven Shades come out exactly alike, because the grasses and reeds vary, and that is what makes the room feel warm. We carry over 100 natural woven fabrics in a wide range of textures and tones. Texture is hard to judge from a photo, so your Design Specialist brings the samples to your home and holds them against your own trim, walls and floors.
The liner decides how the shade works in the room. Unlined, the shade glows with filtered light and gives you a soft view out, but after dark people outside can see in. A light filtering liner gives you full privacy and shields your furniture and floors from direct sun, and a room darkening liner blocks the glow through the center of the shade as well. We also offer fully functional liners, so you choose when the liner is behind the weave and when it isn't.
Washington Park was bought by the city in 1900, and the streets around it are part of a historic district. If your home has stained wood trim, a woven shade with a contrasting edge binding looks right at home against it, and in a newer home with white trim and light walls, a honey toned bamboo adds the color and texture the room is missing. Choose Cord Loop, Cordless, PowerWand or Motorized, and plan on 4 to 6 weeks from order to install, with most projects finished in a single day.

Straight Answers
Natural Woven Shades questions from Springfield homeowners
No. Without a liner, people outside can see through the weave once your lights are on. For any street facing window or a room that needs privacy after dark, we recommend a light filtering or room darkening liner.
Yes. They come in Cord Loop, Cordless, PowerWand and Motorized, and three of the four are child safe. Our automated woven shades work with a remote, the app on your phone or tablet, wall switches and voice control.
Not fully. A room darkening liner blocks the light through the center of the shade, but light can still come in at the edges where the shade meets the window casing. It still makes a very comfortable room for a nap or a movie. A lined shade is also heavier and stacks a little thicker at the top.
Yes. Bamboo, jute, reed and grass come from rapidly renewable crops that take less energy to produce than synthetic materials. Bamboo can grow 1 to 3 feet per day and regenerates in 3 to 5 years.
Yes. Edge binding adds a decorative border around the sides of the shade in a select fabric, and it's a great way to bring in contrast or pick up a color from the room. Your Design Specialist will bring the binding samples along with the weaves.
Yes, over the sink or the breakfast table. We keep woven shades away from the range and out of direct steam, so a spot directly above the cooktop is the one place we avoid.
