Custom Woven Wood Shades in Ypsilanti, MI

Natural woven shades for Ypsilanti homes

Woven wood shades are made from bamboo, reeds, grasses and thin wood strips woven into a textured panel. Light filtering through the weave takes on the warm color of the materials, giving a room a calm, natural feel.

They suit the character of many Ypsilanti homes. In bungalows and foursquares with wide wood trim and original floors, woven woods complement the woodwork instead of competing with it. On a front porch that has been enclosed, or a sunroom off the back of an older house, they add warmth and soften the light. In a loft with exposed brick, their texture balances hard surfaces. Layered under drapery, they also work in a more formal Victorian dining room.

Open weaves can be seen through, especially at night with the lights on, so for bedrooms and windows close to the sidewalk we often add a privacy or blackout liner. Every material and weave lets in a different amount of light, and natural fibers vary a little from piece to piece, so we bring samples for you to see in your own rooms.
