Custom Woven Wood Shades in Northwest Washington
Woven wood shades bring organic texture and natural variation to windows. Depending on the collection, materials may include bamboo, grasses, reeds, wood, and other natural or engineered fibers woven into a finished shade.
Lorraine’s Window Coverings provides custom woven wood shades for homes and businesses throughout Whatcom, Skagit, Island, and San Juan counties. Our team will help you compare materials, weaves, colors, linings, and operating systems before professionally measuring and installing your shades.
Materials, Weaves, and Colors
Custom woven wood shades are available in a range of natural tones, painted finishes, textures, and weave densities. Looser weaves allow more light through the material, while tighter weaves provide greater coverage.
The material and weave affect the shade’s appearance, privacy, light control, and how it folds or rolls when raised. Our team will help you compare samples with the flooring, cabinetry, furniture, and other materials in the room.
Where Do Woven Wood Shades Work Best?
Woven wood shades may be a good choice for:
- Living rooms
- Dining rooms
- Bedrooms
- Home offices
- Kitchens
- Sunrooms
- Vacation properties
- Informal gathering spaces
The best material, lining, and control system depend on the room, window dimensions, privacy needs, sunlight, and desired appearance.
Linings and Privacy Options
Unlined woven wood shades allow varying amounts of light through the natural weave and may provide limited privacy.
Privacy linings increase coverage while allowing some filtered light.
Room-darkening linings block more incoming light but may still allow light around the shade’s edges.
Depending on the collection, the lining may operate with the woven shade or as a separate movable layer. Availability depends on the material, shade style, dimensions, and manufacturer.
Why Choose Woven Wood Shades?
