Updated Looks with Wooden Shades

Wood has long been among the most popular supplies used in residential buildings and interior décor. Its innate strength is matched by its inherent organic warmth and beauty, which is only outdone by the material's incredible functional flexibility. And with eons of use under our belts, wood has already been worked into so many different shapes and uses within our homes. In the latest interior design styles, this material continues to be a popular choice to bring fashion to life in almost any room of the home. This is true in the realm of window coverings as well, where wooden shades are evolving with new features and designs better suited to meet the needs and fashions of modern households.

Modern Styles of Wooden Shades

In the Hunter Douglas collection of modern wooden shades, homeowners will find a vastly differentiating catalog of window treatments that either use the classic material in new ways or add modern convenience to classic window treatment designs.

• Woven Wood Shades: Most often, when we think of wood and the trees it comes from, the word soft does not come up. But in wooden shades like Provenance® Woven Wood Shades, that's precisely what comes together. Woven wood shades use organic materials, including wood, reeds, and grasses, to create visually striking window treatments with all the warmth and organic beauty of wood and the flexibility and movement of fabric for Roman shades or drapery style treatments.
• White Shutters: Interior plantation-style shutters have been a popular style of residential window treatment for hundreds of years thanks to their clean, timeless look and the control their louvered design affords. Many contemporary interior design styles continue to use this type of wooden shade but with updated aesthetic features, including larger louvers and bold neutral tones such as white instead of the traditional wood-toned palette. Heritance® Wood Shutters offer all these customizable features, including three louver sizes and a range of color options, plus the durability of genuine wood.
• Motorized Wooden Shades: PowerView® Automation by Hunter Douglas is available on numerous types of wooden shades, including Provenance® Woven Wood Shadesand Parkland® Wood Blinds, as well as faux-wood shutters like Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters. PowerView adds convenience to control and, for the modern home, can integrate into smart home programs. The system also has an online app that homeowners can access on a smartphone or tablet to control their window treatments from anywhere with an internet connection. And for the ultimate in easy user experience, implement the scheduling feature of PowerView for shades that open and close automatically.
