Custom Woven Wood Shades
With a design that beautifully highlights natural elements, woven wood shades and woven bamboo shades are a sophisticated choice in window coverings. Playing on the popularity of natural motifs in modern interior design, woven shades use organic materials in innovative ways to create unique window treatments with raw beauty, chic finishes, and the latest state-of-the-art features. The result is a treatment with visual impact yet a neutral backdrop with light-control characteristics that create interior illumination from soft filtered sunlight to blackout darkness. The Hunter Douglas portfolio of window coverings includes two collections of woven shades: Provenance® Woven Wood Shades and the Alustra® Collection of Woven Textures®.
Our team would love to help you pick the woven wood shades!
Provenance® Woven Wood Shades
Provenance® Woven Wood Shades are a collection of artisanal woven shades inspired by nature and constructed from the highest quality organic materials, including woods, reeds, grasses, and bamboo. The resulting window treatments showcase the natural, raw fibers of organic materials with a range of weaves from open to refined, adding texture and visual dimension to the woven wood shades. Modern engineering has advanced stylish woven wood shades with enhanced weaving techniques that add durability, reliability, and longevity to the overall treatment.
Among the Provenance® collection’s most popular styles of woven treatments are bamboo shades. Bamboo shades are both stylistically desirable with a range of color and weave patterns available, and they are also environmentally friendly as bamboo has a much faster harvest cycle than trees. Window coverings for the Provenance® woven collection, including bamboos shades and wood shades, can be crafted into three different styles of window treatment, and they also have applications for door treatments and select specialty window shapes.
Window Treatment Styles: Roman shades, waterfall Roman shades, and vertical drapery
Specialty Windows and Doors: Angles, bay windows, corner windows, French doors, patio doors, sliding glass doors

Benefits of Woven Wood Shades and Woven Bamboo Shades
Both collections of woven window treatments from Hunter Douglas, Provenance® Woven Wood Shades and the Alustra® Collection of Woven Textures®, create breathtaking window fashions thanks to the unique material used in their construction. However, the benefits of woven wood shades and woven bamboo shades include more than just their good looks; woven shades provide aesthetic value for the home and functional enhancements for interior spaces. So, from strengthening décor with layered style to creating child-safe environments, homeowners can expect to enjoy the following benefits of woven shades.
Polished Natural Motif
Raw yet refined; natural but polished; the way the aesthetic of woven wood shades complements its organic building materials gives the window treatment a sophisticated natural motif that works for modern or traditional interior design. So, while the woods, reeds, grasses, and bamboos used to make woven wood shades imbue a natural sense of beauty, the high-end craftsmanship and detailing on woven shades from Hunter Douglas create the refined and polished final appearance. Additional detailing like edges or banding gives homeowners the chance to upgrade and personalize their window treatments to best match individual tastes and existing home décor.
Layered Looks
Woven wood shades are stylish on their own, but what makes them especially excellent for residential or commercial design is how they work with other décor in the room. They can also work well with other window treatments in layered looks. You can pair wood shades or bamboo shades with a custom valance, cornice, or a set of side panels for a two-tiered look that still showcases the woven shades. You can also partner wood shades or bamboo shades with full drapery for a window fashion with striking looks and functional improvements, including enhanced privacy, better insulation, and a greater range of light-control abilities.
Striking Lighting Effects
With either the Provenance® or Alustra® collection, the natural weaves create eye-catching visuals by filtering the light like a tree canopy. With these shades, most sunlight is blocked, but some light softly filters through, creating multi-dimensional indoor lighting effects. The openness of the weave on wood shades determines how much or how little natural sunlight gets through.
For additional light control, Hunter Douglas woven wood shades, both Provenance® Woven Wood Shades and select styles of shades in the Alustra® Collection of Woven Textures®, are available with an option for an independently operated back liner. The back liner can create room-darkening effects, thus increasing the light control abilities of the woven wood shade without altering its aesthetic. The back liners operate independently from the main shade, so they provide flexibility in the way homeowners can use the additional feature to block or allow in sunlight and provide privacy for their home.
Child-Safe Options
Woven wood shades from Hunter Douglas have the additional benefit of being available with operational systems that are cord-free and child safe. Thanks to innovative operating systems developed by Hunter Douglas, homeowners with woven wood shades have several options for child-safe window treatments that are cord-free. Additionally, corded operating systems for woven shades from Hunter Douglas come with stylish cleats to keep hanging cords up and out of reach to make even their corded options more child-friendly.
