The Beauty Of Bamboo Shades

Bamboo shades are everywhere these days. Bamboo, once an exotic grass mostly seen in East and Southeast Asia, is now showing up in California yards and in New York restaurants. Rows of bamboo grow between yards for privacy, in large pots in hotel foyers for beauty, and on the edges of outdoor sitting areas for atmosphere. Furniture, flooring, and even houses are now being made out of bamboo, even in the West. What better way to use this natural product than as a bamboo shades?

Bamboo shades provide an ambiance and appearance of being casual yet classy. The rich texture of this material provides a great way to accent any decor. This material provides an effective way of blocking out the glare of the sun and providing protection from the summer sun. While they provide a solid appearance they also give the illusion of being light and airy. Due to their unique style and appearance they can be used to compliment a variety of decorating styles.

There is something exotic about a natural material that is not popular in the area you live in; it somehow connects you with another culture, another lifestyle. This simplicity provides any room with style and texture. Due to the fact that bamboo shades are a natural product that is not treated against moisture, it is advised to limit the use of this material in damp areas of the home, such as the kitchen or bathrooms.

When hanging your bamboo shades there two approaches that you can consider. The first approach is to hang window shades inside the window frame. You may want to accent them by staining the window casing a dark stain. The other approach is to hang them outside the window allowing them to hang slightly beyond the edges of the window frame.

Cleaning window shades is easy. Just use a feather duster or your vacuum’s brush attachment. To give them a glossy shine, use a bit of cleaning oil on a damp sponge and wipe window shades. No more washing fabric curtains. Bamboo always looks fresh and new and requires no special care.

Not only are these shades attractive, but they are also eco-friendly. With all the emphasis on ‘green ‘ products it is good to know that you can utilize a natural element for your window treatments and still have a great look. Bamboo also makes a great plant to add to your yard, they are capable of producing more oxygen than trees and they help prevent soil erosion.

Because bamboo practically grows faster than it can be cut, it is also more inexpensive as a material for window coverings. However, because bamboo is a renewable resource and window shades are made from a sustainable material, the product is still natural and those who choose bamboo need not feel bad about spending less. In fact, bamboo shades are much longer-lasting than other more inexpensive window coverings such as plastic blinds.

Although bamboo use in the west is relatively new it has been used in the orient for centuries. The ideas of the orient have been affecting the western cultures like never before. Bamboo shades are one example of the effect that oriental traditions are having on the western culture. These shades are bound to become as popular as bamboo flooring has over the last few years.
