Natural Materials That Add Warmth and Texture

Custom woven wood shades with optional privacy liners for Tarrant County, Texas homes.

When you want a window treatment that feels organic and adds visible texture to a room, woven wood shades bring natural materials into your Tarrant County home without heavy drapery or rigid slats. The shades are made from bamboo, grasses, or reeds woven into panels that filter light and create a layered, casual look. You raise and lower them with a cord or chain, and when they are down, they diffuse sunlight while maintaining a soft, relaxed appearance that works well in living rooms, sunrooms, and bedrooms.

Showcase Window Fashions measures each window to ensure the shades fit inside the frame or mount on the wall above it, then builds them to your exact dimensions. You can add an optional privacy liner that attaches to the back of the woven panel, blocking more light and adding coverage when the shade is lowered. The natural materials complement coastal, rustic, and casual interiors, and the texture remains visible even when the shades are raised.

What Sets Woven Wood Apart From Other Shades

The installation process in Tarrant County starts with a technician measuring the window to confirm the width, height, and mounting depth, then noting whether you want to add a privacy liner. Once the shades are built, they attach the mounting brackets, hang the headrail, and connect the lift mechanism, then test the shade to confirm it raises and lowers without catching or tilting.

After installation, you will notice that lowering the shade softens incoming light and adds a warm, textured surface that contrasts with painted walls and trim. If you added a privacy liner, the shade blocks more direct light while still showing the woven pattern on the room-facing side. The materials give the window a finished look that feels less formal than blinds or shutters.

Woven wood shades work well in spaces where you want to soften hard surfaces and add a natural element without introducing heavy fabric. They are suitable for living rooms, dining areas, and bedrooms where a relaxed aesthetic fits the overall design. The shades do not provide complete blackout coverage unless you add a liner, and the natural materials may show slight color variation from panel to panel.

What to Know Before Choosing Woven Wood

Homeowners in Tarrant County often ask how woven wood shades compare to roller shades, whether they need a liner, and how to maintain the natural materials over time.

What makes woven wood shades different from roller shades?
Woven wood shades use natural materials like bamboo or reed that add texture and warmth, while roller shades use smooth fabric. Woven shades filter light through the weave, creating a softer effect.
When should I add a privacy liner?
You add a liner if you want more light control or need to block direct views into the room. The liner attaches to the back of the woven panel and does not change the front appearance.
How long does installation take for woven wood shades?

Most Tarrant County homes with two or three windows per room take about an hour once the shades are fabricated. Measuring happens during the first visit, and production typically takes one to two weeks.

Why would I choose woven wood over blinds?
Woven wood shades offer a natural, textured look that complements casual and rustic interiors. Blinds give you more precise control over light angles and work better in formal spaces.
How do I clean woven wood shades?
You dust the panels with a soft brush or vacuum attachment. Avoid using water, as natural materials can absorb moisture and warp. Spot-clean stains with a barely damp cloth and dry immediately.
