People have many options when it comes to shades. You might be looking for a specific style or want to control the amount of light that comes in. No matter what you’re looking for, there are good reasons to choose woven wood shades that you may not have considered. A Natural Feel The best feature about woven wood shades is the sense of nature they bring to your home. Because NorthShore creates each blind from natural materials, there's a unique sense of earthiness in them that goes well with any décor. Having a few plants in the same room with your new shades will make the entire room brim with the comforts of the outdoors. Eco-Friendly Another reason to choose woven wood shades is their positive impact on the environment. As previously mentioned, these custom window shades come from natural materials, so they look wonderful and are good for the planet. You can rest easy in your living space knowing you're doing right by the Earth. Easy To Manage Woven wood shades are some of the most accessible shades to work with. Installing them is a breeze once you slide the headrail into the window frame. Woven wood is easy to clean with a vacuum brush, but we recommend not spraying them with cleaner, as that could warp the wood. Lots of Customization Woven wood shades come in various colors and varieties that best fit your living needs. One significant advantage is that light-blocking screens are easy to attach and remove from your new shades, giving you complete control of how much light comes through.  Woven shades are the best way to go from being easy to install, benefit the planet, and offer a sense of comfort and customization that fits all needs. Here at NorthShore Window Treatments, we have all the window shades for your home. We can help you get the products you need at a price you’ll love.
