10 Bamboo Weave Patterns to Match Your Style
We offer 10 distinct bamboo weave patterns so you can find the perfect texture for your space. Our tightest weaves create a smooth, refined surface that blocks more light, while our open weaves showcase the natural bamboo grain and allow filtered sunlight to create beautiful shadow patterns on your walls.
Popular patterns include our classic horizontal weave with uniform bamboo strips, the rustic herringbone that adds diagonal visual interest, and our modern basket weave that creates subtle geometric texture. Each pattern is available in natural, honey-stained, and vintage brown finishes.
Custom Sizing and Measurement Process
Every bamboo roman shade we create is made to order based on your exact window measurements. We accommodate widths from 18″ to 96″ and lengths up to 84″, covering everything from small bathroom windows to expansive picture windows.
Our measurement guide walks you through determining whether you need an inside mount (shade fits within the window frame) or outside mount (shade covers the wall area around the window). For inside mounts, we automatically deduct the necessary clearances so your shade operates smoothly without binding.
Installation and Hardware Included
Each bamboo roman shade arrives with pre-installed mounting brackets and all necessary hardware for both inside and outside mount installations. The cordless lift mechanism is factory-tested and requires no assembly on your part.
For inside mounts, you’ll install two to four brackets (depending on shade width) directly into the top of your window frame using the provided screws. Outside mounts attach to the wall surface above your window. Most customers complete installation in under 20 minutes using a basic drill and level.

Common Questions About Our Bamboo Roman Shades
The weave pattern affects both aesthetics and light control. Tighter weaves like our smooth horizontal and fine basket patterns block more light and offer greater privacy, making them ideal for bedrooms and bathrooms. Open weaves like our rustic and herringbone patterns allow more filtered light through and showcase bamboo's natural texture, perfect for living rooms and dining areas.
We recommend ordering free sample swatches to compare the patterns in your actual space. Hold them up to your window at different times of day to see how much light filters through and whether you like the shadow patterns they create.
No, bamboo is a natural material with inherent light-filtering properties, so even our tightest weaves allow some ambient light through. If you need complete blackout, we recommend pairing bamboo shades with our optional blackout liner that attaches behind the bamboo for room-darkening capability while maintaining the natural aesthetic from inside your room.
For most bedrooms and living spaces, the gentle light filtration of bamboo without a liner is sufficient for privacy and light control. Many customers appreciate waking to soft morning light rather than complete darkness.
We can manufacture bamboo roman shades up to 96 inches wide and 84 inches long. For wider windows, we recommend ordering multiple shades mounted side by side rather than a single oversized shade, as bamboo becomes too heavy to operate smoothly beyond these dimensions.
Our design team can help you determine the best configuration for extra-wide windows. Many customers choose two or three shades across a bay window or picture window, which also provides more flexible light control since each shade operates independently.
Production time is typically 10-12 business days from the date you approve your measurements and finalize your order. Shipping adds another 3-5 business days for most locations within the continental US.
During peak seasons (spring and fall), production may extend to 14-16 business days. We'll provide a specific timeline when you place your order and send tracking information as soon as your shade ships from our workshop.
Yes, natural bamboo develops a richer, warmer patina when exposed to sunlight, similar to how hardwood floors age. This is a normal characteristic of natural materials and many customers find it adds depth and character. The color shift is gradual and typically takes 1-2 years to become noticeable.
If you prefer to maintain the original color, choose windows with less direct sun exposure or rotate your shades periodically. Our stained finishes (honey and vintage brown) show less dramatic color change than natural unstained bamboo.
Yes, our cordless lift system eliminates the dangling cords that pose strangulation risks, making these shades compliant with current child safety standards. The shade raises and lowers with a simple push or pull on the bottom rail, with no exposed cords or chains.
The cordless mechanism also creates a cleaner, more streamlined appearance compared to traditional corded roman shades. It's our standard system on all bamboo roman shades at no additional cost.
Most customers successfully install bamboo roman shades themselves using basic tools (drill, level, pencil, tape measure). Our included instructions provide step-by-step guidance with photos, and the process typically takes 15-20 minutes per shade once you've done the first one.
If you're uncomfortable with tools or have unusually positioned windows, we maintain a directory of certified installers in most major cities. Professional installation usually costs $50-75 per shade depending on your location.
