The Pros and Cons of Woven Wood Shades near Kennebunk, ME
Our team at The Shade Shop in Kennebunk does the very best to keep our clients up to date with the latest window treatment styles and innovations. As a Hunter Douglas dealer, we have the privilege of offering our customers the best window treatments available on the market. While there are many top design trends for 2023, one sticks out for us: the beauty of natural materials. That’s why we’re here to go over the pros and cons of choosing Woven Wood Shades for your home, which is one of our top picks if you’re looking to update your window treatments in 2023.
The Pros of Woven Wood Shades
Here are some of our top reasons to choose custom Hunter Douglas Woven Wood Shades for your home:
- Bring the look and feel of nature indoors: If you’re a fan of nature and embracing plentiful house plants and natural materials, these shades are perfect for your living space. They lend themselves easily to both traditional and minimalist styles and can be customized to perfectly fit your room.
- Natural materials are both sustainable and on trend: One of the biggest trends of 2023 is sustainability, and this goes far beyond just day-to-day sustainability - sustainably isn’t meant to just be a trend; it’s meant to help people shift their way of thinking and embracing all-natural materials that are kinder to the earth. Our woven wood shades utilize natural materials like wood, reed, grasses, and bamboo.
- Texture adds depth to your room: The varied textures of woven shades are what gives them texture that other shade styles can’t mimic. Each are unique and one-of-a-kind, and it’s not something you’re going to see in every home.
- Woven woods compliment a wide number of design styles: Woven wood shades can be utilized in a wide variety of design styles. From Victorian to Contemporary to Modern Farmhouse, woven wood shades can be customized in 80 different fabric/color choices and can be utilized in three different window treatment styles: Roman, Waterfall Roman and Vertical Drapery styles.
The Cons of Woven Wood Shades
- Woven woods have natural variences: It’s important to keep in mind that a shade made from natural fibers will inevitably have some natural differences in their fibers – that’s what gives it its extra character and design flair! If you’re looking for ultra-uniform shades, we have options that will be a good choice for your room.
- Woven woods offer varying light control: In general, our Hunter Douglas Woven Wood Shades can provide plentiful light control, but flexible light control with these shades comes with additional enhancement like adding an independent liner with Duolite®. On their own, we find that other window treatments like our sheer shades or Roman shades provide more light control and light enhancement.
