Natural woven Roman shades, which include categories like bamboo shades, are a go-to for homeowners looking to create an earthy, unique, and sophisticated space. We aim to provide you with an easy-to-read overview of what’s involved in choosing your natural woven shades, from pricing to customization.
What Are Natural Woven Roman Shades?
Woven from grass, straw, reeds, bamboo, string, rope, or a similar material, this type of Roman shade is custom made for maximum indoor beauty and is unparalleled in its light filtering effects. As it lifts, the material stacks in layers at the bottom of the shade, showcasing the feel and texture of the weave. For more privacy, lower the shade completely, and continue to enjoy the glow of light through the organic fibers. The natural woven material can be shown to the outside as well, giving the shade more visual appeal than a normal window blind.

Valance: All four of the manufacturers we have referenced include a valance in the price of their base model woven shade.
Lining: Light-filtering and room-darkening linings are available for more light control. For a 36x60 window the light-filtering liner can range from $100 - $200, while the room-darkening liner is typically $150 - $300.
Cordless: Hunter Douglas, Horizons, and Lafayette all offer cordless options without a surcharge. Alta charges an extra $100 for their cordless technology.
