Viking Blinds • March 31, 2023

Natural window treatments are a customer favorite, loved for their versatility. When it comes to achieving a warm, cozy home, wood shades and wood blinds are some of the best options on the market. At Viking Blinds, we are excited about our collection of woven wood shades and wood blinds from the premier window treatment manufacturer, Hunter Douglas, and we can’t wait to share them with you.

Hunter Douglas Provenance® Woven Wood Shades near St. Louis Park, Minnesota (MN)

Natural woven shades, or sometimes called bamboo blinds, are made from natural reeds, grasses, jute, and other natural fibers to achieve a relaxed, natural aesthetic. Designers love this style of window coverings for the inviting atmosphere it creates, allowing for filtered natural light to gently illuminate a space with colors influenced by the wooden weave. Plus, wood blinds from Hunter Douglas offer all the function you love in a blind but with the added elegance of wood.

Today, we’re unpacking the benefits of these amazing window treatment and why woven wood shades and wood blinds should be on your radar for refreshing, innovative design.

The Benefits of Woven Natural Shades

Style

Like the Provenance® Woven Wood Shades from Hunter Douglas, woven shades are perfect for achieving a soft, warm glow throughout a space. Woven wood shades filter light beautifully while minimizing glare and excessive heat. They add an organic touch to a space, complementing surrounding interior décor by adding visual interest and breaking up more industrial shapes. Choose from a gorgeous collection of colors, textures, and openness factors. You can also choose to add a liner for additional light control.

UV Protection & Privacy

Excessive sunlight can lead to solar heat gain, making it difficult to keep your home a consistent temperature. Woven wood shades protect your home from the sun’s harmful UV rays. Even with some of the most open weaves, bamboo blinds still provide a comfortable sense of privacy, allowing you to relax in your home without worrying about the outside world. Bamboo blinds also offer much-needed UV protection, which can prolong the life of your furniture.

Our team can help you compare colors and find the ideal hue to match your design style and existing home decor. No matter your aesthetic style, we guarantee we have a window treatment that will complement it.

Convenience

Our Hunter Douglas woven wood shades feature the added convenience of sleek, motorized technology. With PowerView® Automation, controlling your woven shades is a cinch. PowerView® gives you the freedom to adjust your shades from anywhere in your home with the user-friendly smartphone app. You can create custom schedules for each window from the app and program custom settings. PowerView® Automation remembers your favorite lighting orientations so you get that perfect glow every time. You also get the added experience of true hands-free control with the option to adjust your shades with the sound of your voice using Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri, and Google Assistant pairing.
