What they are
Natural woven shades for Howell homes
Woven wood shades are made from bamboo, reeds, grasses and thin wood strips woven into a textured panel. Daylight filters through the weave and takes on a warm, natural color, so a room feels relaxed and a little more casual.
In Howell they suit the farmhouse and lodge-style looks popular in newer homes, the sunrooms and four-season rooms added onto older houses, and lake homes on Thompson Lake and Lake Chemung where natural materials feel right. They also work well in dining rooms and kitchens next to painted cabinets and wood floors.
Open weaves can be seen through at night, so for bedrooms and street-facing rooms we usually add a privacy or blackout liner behind the weave. Each material lets in a different amount of light, and natural fibers vary a little from piece to piece. We bring samples to your home so you can see color and texture in your own light before you choose.

Operating options & care
Cordless and motorized options, simple care
Woven wood shades can be ordered in roll-up or flat-fold styles, with cordless lift, continuous loop or motorized operation on many products. Cordless is a clean, safe choice for most windows; motorization helps with large, heavy shades. We’ll recommend the best option for each window.
To care for woven woods, dust them lightly or vacuum on low with a brush attachment. Avoid water and cleaners, which can stain natural materials.

Woven wood shade questions
Common questions from Howell homeowners about woven wood shades.
Do woven woods suit a lake home or sunroom near Howell?
Yes. Woven woods are a natural fit for lake homes and sunrooms. For rooms that take strong sun off the water, we can add a liner to cut more light.
Will woven woods give enough privacy in a Howell bedroom?
Open weaves can be seen through, especially at night. For bedrooms we usually recommend a privacy or blackout liner behind the weave, which keeps the natural look from inside.
Can woven woods darken a bedroom?
With a blackout liner, woven woods can darken a bedroom considerably. Some light may show at the edges depending on how they are mounted.
Are woven wood shades durable?
Yes, with normal care. Keep them dry and dust them occasionally. We don’t recommend them where they will be splashed or exposed to steam.
How do I clean woven wood shades?
Dust lightly or vacuum on low with a brush attachment. Avoid water and cleaning products on natural materials.
