Bamboo Roman Blinds - Natural and Awesome

Stacy Winsel

Bamboo roman blinds also called natural shades and woven woods are carefully fabricated from rich wood, jute, rattan, grass and reeds. These roman shades bring all the beauty of nature inside where we can enjoy the rich textures, natural styles and the gorgeous colors.

Besides being awesome to look at, these blinds are environmentally friendly and a great insulator against the heat and cold trying to get in your window. This is what makes these blinds such a great practical choice. The ancient art used to construct these finely woven bamboo shades goes back hundreds of years. Once the bamboo canes are striped, shaped and dried, the reeds are then fasten together with rope. The shades are still made the same way except that the rope they use today is colored to match the shades being produced. Of course they use a little modern technology to make the bamboo roman blinds truly affordable.

Today you can get these bamboo roman shades in a number of different styles. The two most common are the straight roman style and the hobbled or looped style. There are some companies that offer the bamboo material in a vertical shade style. This vertical style works the same as a drapery. You pull the shade material along on a track to close either one way right or left. You can also get the shade to open and close to the center if you want.

The combinations of grasses, reeds and bamboo pieces are almost endless. Every time you turn around some local craftsman will come out with a combination that has not been tried before.

The addition of the colored cord or rope adds to the beauty of these shades, strengthens the shade and puts the finishing touches on a finely crafted masterpiece.

In addition to all the color and style choices that are available you are able to order your bamboo roman blinds in the top/down - bottom/up option as well as the cordless option that is becoming so popular.

The drawback to these shades is that they are an all or none type of shade. This means that to see out you need to have the shade in the open position. In the closed position you can't see outside at all but, you do get to gaze with rapture at your beautiful Bamboo roman blinds.
