Lift Types for Woven Blinds
When it comes to choosing the perfect Woven Roman Shades for your home, it's important to understand the different types of lifts available. We've created a list of the different lift types, so you can choose the one that's right for you. It is important to remember that these natural shades do not operate like a woven roller shade. Instead, these rattan window shades raise and lower in folds, similar to a Roman Shade.
Standard Cord
Operating your woven wood shades with a standard cord is the most traditional lift option. This style features a singular pull cord that is used to raise and lower the blind. When you raise the shades, the cord cinches the material from the bottom, causing it to lengthen as the shades compress.
Continuous Cord Loop
With a continuous cord loop, the cord runs on a pully system within the shade's interior, making it an excellent option for larger window coverings. Unlike a standard cord style, the cord length doesn't change when raising the shades, which some may find more visually appealing. The loop is also fixed to the wall, making it easy to reach and operate.
Cordless
Cordless Natural Woven Shades are strongly recommended from our team of design experts. These are ideal for those with young children or pets, as it removes any dangerous, dangling cords. You’ll also get a cleaner, less-cluttered look. The lifting system is integrated into the shade, allowing you to raise and lower your window covering by simply adjusting the bottom rail.

Top Down/Bottom Up
Woven Wood Shades with a Top Down/Bottom Up Lift will let you lower or raise the shades form the top or the bottom. This style provides greater flexibility and privacy, allowing you to create a custom setting for any need. Top Down/Bottom Up shades are ideal for any area, including sun-facing windows or high-traffic areas.
Motorized and Smart Home Compatible
Home-automated Woven Wood Shades are growing in popularity thanks to their ease of use. Using a remote control or app on your phone, you can raise and lower your shades with the touch of a button. You can also set them on a timer, which is great for traveling or windows that are hard to reach. All motorized products are also cordless, making them the safest choice in homes with children or pets.
Optional Privacy Liners for Woven Wood Blinds
While there's no doubt that custom Woven Wood Shades are an excellent way to filter light and add ambiance to any room, some may find the need for additional privacy. Light can sneak through the natural gaps in the organic materials. Fortunately, there are optional liners available that are easily added to any natural woven shade, giving you the ultimate peace of mind. Include an optional liner to increase privacy with a Natural Woven Shade.
Light Filtering Liner
If you're looking for a liner that allows light to enter your home while still reducing heat, a light-filtering liner is an ideal option. These liners dampen the effects of the sun without completely blocking it out, keeping your home light and bright while helping it stay cool and comfortable. The liner will also help cover any visible gaps in the material.
Blackout Liner
Blackout liners are perfect for bedrooms and any other space where you want to keep the sun out. They can lower the internal room temperature by up to 60%, helping reduce your cooling costs during the warmer months. Additionally, black-out shades help your home reduce heat loss by up to 40% in winter, saving on your heating bill. Perfect for areas where you’d want to completely block incoming light, like a bedroom, nursery, or media room, a blackout liner is an excellent way to save money and ensure you create a dark, calming space.
Decorative Accents
Custom Woven Wood Shades are stunning on their own, but if you're looking for ways to add a finishing touch to encapsulate your style, consider one of the following decorative accents.
Optional Valances
Adding a valance to your Natural Woven Shades is an easy and affordable way to give it a clean and finished look. Simply attach the valence after installation for a gorgeous, high-end look you’ll love. An ideal cherry on top of a custom window covering.
Edge Binding

Woven Wood Shades FAQ
While traditional woven woods may have been in use for centuries, modern woven wooden window treatments remain a staple of today’s designers for many reasons. Woven wood shades bring a dramatic, personal touch to any room. These simple shades add texture and sophistication to your windows with natural materials like rattan, bamboo, jute, grasses and reed. They’re suitable in both modern, eco-friendly environments and traditional farmhouse style décor.
Because Woven Wood Shades are knit together using natural materials, there may be slight gaps between each weave that prevent total privacy. However, many of Blindsgalore’s woven wood shades are customizable with a blackout or light-filtering liner to give you the level of privacy you desire. Simply include either option when customizing your woven wood shade.
These natural woven shades are easy to clean with only a duster or microfiber cloth. For wood and bamboo shades, gently wipe down with a dry cloth using long, even strokes. For grass or woven materials, use the soft brush attachment on your vacuum to avoid snagging a cloth on the textured material. Be sure to consult the instructions included with your shades first.
Blindsgalore’s Woven Wood Shades are extremely durable and, with proper care, can provide you with beautiful privacy and sun protection for years to come. As a woman-owned company built on integrity and a commitment to unmatched customer service, at Blindsgalore, we believe affordability and quality go hand in hand.
Woven Wood Shades are typically installed using 2 or 3 brackets on the inside or outside of your window frame. Brackets only require 1 or 2 screws each, making installation a breeze. It shouldn’t take you longer than 30 minutes to install a woven wood shade for the first time. For specific install instructions for your woven wood roman shades can be found on our installation page.
