Bamboo window blinds essentially encompass window blinds made from all natural, lightweight materials such as bamboo, jutes, rattan, faux wood, reed and woven woods. When woven together, these materials create a beautifully textured, natural look, which is at once rustic yet stylish. What’s more, bamboo window blinds are also very affordable and require minimum maintenance. Dusting with a feathered or lambs wool duster will often do the trick, as will careful vacuuming with the duster attachment.
Because they are made from natural materials, they do not carry the same debt to the environment that plastic blinds do. Also, unlike fabric treatments, these materials are durable and offer years of use when properly cared for.
Variations in Bamboo Window Blinds
You can find bamboo window blinds in several different styles. Some blinds are designed by weaving together small bamboo pieces in a matchstick style whereas others use wider, flat pieces of bamboo woven together. The width of the slats can play a big part in the amount of light that comes through.
If you are looking for a more open, airy look, you can opt for all-natural bamboo window blinds that allow a little bit of light to filter through even when they are closed. On the other hand, if you are looking for additional privacy with the added benefits of extra insulation, you can get lined bamboo blinds. Keep in mind though, that the liner will show through when the blinds are opened.
Most bamboo window blinds use pull cords for moving them up or down, which is a great way to control the amount of light that you want to let into the room. True to their name, these roll up blinds literally roll up the window much like a sleeping bag.
Filtered Light
Unlike the harsh light that comes in with lighter window treatments, bamboo window blinds offer a soft filtered light that can be customized with a backing if you need full privacy. This means that the harsh UV light is reduced, making the indoors less harmful for us and for our furniture as well as the other home décor. By preventing the bleaching that many home furnishings go through with exposure to the sun, bamboo window blinds can help your upholstery look fresher and last longer too. It keeps the heat of summer and the chill of winter out of your home as well, a great bonus of the natural durability of wood and bamboo materials.
