Woven Wood Shades, the Softer Side of Wood

Frank Lloyd Wright once said, “Wood is universally beautiful to man. It is the most humanly intimate of all materials,” which is perhaps why wood is such a popular natural element for interior design. Its warm hues, gorgeous grains, and durability make it a favorite for floors, ceilings, walls, doors, furniture, décor/decorations, and window coverings from hardwood plantation shutters to woven wood shades. Equal to the plentiful number of applications for wood in interior design is the number of finishes it can have. From polished to raw, matte stains to fully painted products, wood can have a million different looks and yet still hold onto that welcoming, organic feel that wood naturally has. It is that feeling that wood invokes, that connection to the serenity of outdoors, that can be used in design to create a space that is stylistic stunning and organically imbued with a sense of warm, welcoming comfort and peace.

Provenance® Woven Wood Shades Kahului, Hawaii (HI) bringing the organic beauty of natural elements home.

Window treatments are a great way to incorporate wood in your interior design because there are a variety of styles to choose from. And since there are windows in most rooms, window treatments can unite design throughout the entire home. Classic hardwood window treatments like wood blinds and plantation shutters are popular in both traditional and modern designs as their simple yet striking look harmonizes with many aesthetics. However, if you love the organic beauty of wood but stylistically prefer a more flowing aesthetic for your window treatments woven wood shades may be the answer. Hunter Douglas offers several soft window treatments made from natural fibers including bamboo and wood.
