Media Room Update: Add Natural Woven Shades

Leave a reply

Get a quick look at one of our 2021 project collaborations with guest designer, Sue. This designer wanted to give her media room an updated look and decided that adding natural woven shades to her windows would make all the difference.

About the Project: Media Room Update

In the end, she decided on Bali Natural Woven Shades in Spree Studio. Here’s the final look!

The Process: Ordering Custom Bamboo Shades Online

Browsing Products: The process started by browsing the products available on the website. Since Sue already knew she wanted natural woven shades, she could go directly to the bamboo shades section and consider the different options. Tip: When browsing products, don’t browse blindly. There are a number of factors that you should consider right off the bat so you don’t get attached to any options that actually won’t work for your space, your budget, your lifestyle, or your timeline. Different products have different production times – the estimated production time needed for each product is listed on the description page right next to the main image. If you know you want to have your new window shades installed within 4 weeks, you’ll want to take note of any with production times that will fall outside your window. You’ll also want to consider the available color choices, textures, and features available with each window shade.

Identifying the Best Shades or Blinds for Your Space: When attempting to identify the best shades or blinds for your room or space, feel free to touch base with the Design Consultants for answers to questions about the products, how to measure windows, manufacturing times, available features, installation, etc. They’re a great resource – and they’re available by phone, email, or online chat. Access the Online Chat option on the home page. 

Ordering Samples: Samples are always a great idea. It’s best to see the different materials in your space with your lighting and decor, etc. During the @WoolAndVineDesign 2021 Media Room Update, Sue ordered samples and received them the next week. Once she had them in hand in her room, she discovered that they weren’t the right color for the space. She quickly ordered a new set of samples adjusting her choices a bit, so she could ensure she’d love the final look of her woven shades.

Measuring Your Windows: Make sure to access instructions on how to measure for your blinds or shades. You can find info on how to measure included on the product pages. Once you’ve accessed instructions and measured your windows, do it again to double-check that they are accurate. There’s nothing worse than ordering a custom window shade in the wrong size.

Ordering: Once you’ve seen your samples (and love them) and you have your window measurements, add your order to your online shopping cart, and process your order.

Shipping: Sue received her order of custom-made Bali Natural Woven Shades in Spree Studio 4 weeks later. Remember, shipping times and production time will vary depending on the product you order. However, you can always log in to your online account at BlindsChalet.com to get a status update on your order or reach out to the Design Consultants for more info on your order’s progress by phone, email, or Online Chat.

Installation Process: Installation instructions and tips for an easy install are included on each product page. If you have questions during the install or before you get started on the installation process, check the product page for detailed information or reach out to the Design Consultants for more info on your order’s progress by phone, email, or Online Chat.

We love seeing customers enjoying their blinds and shades “in real life.” But it isn’t just a feel good moment for us. Considering various blinds and shades in the homes of other customers can be extremely helpful when new customers are trying to make all those big decisions: which blinds or shades to purchase, whether to install an inside mount or outside mount, what color to choose, which features to add, etc. So, if you’re undecided about any of the above, consider the #irl examples below. Maybe it will help you along the path to the “perfect” window treatment for your home or office.

Replace Shutters with Woven Shades to Add Light & Texture

Leave a reply

We recently worked with home & lifestyle blogger & influencer, Lauren Jansen, after she decided to replace shutters with woven shades in an attempt to change the look of her home. Ever since she moved into her home, she’s wanted to add new woven wood shades throughout the house, but she kept putting it off.

Why Replace Shutters With Woven Shades?

While you may dream of shutters or classic wood blinds, it’s a style choice that just doesn’t suit every person or every space. For instance, Lauren’s home wasn’t missing window coverings. The windows already had very nice shutters installed in many windows and classic 2” window blinds in others, but she couldn’t get over the urge to pull them out and replace them with bamboo shades. What you couldn’t see without spending some time in Lauren’s shoes (or more accurately in her house) is that most of the shutters and blinds in the house were a little broken or a smidge damaged and they blocked a lot more light than you might expect. Plus, some of the shutters were blocked, so you couldn’t open them to access the windows at all (even to clean them). The house’s windows included a mixture of shutters, wood blinds, and plastic blinds throughout, and Lauren couldn’t help but want something that would allow more sunshine in each day, match (the mismatched window coverings were making her crazy), and pull the design of home together as a whole.

The End Result: After Lauren Decided to Replace Shutters with Woven Shades

When she finally took a step back from her other ongoing home projects, and tackled the windows, she found that the end result was just as she hoped. She found that when you replace shutters with woven shades, the natural woven shades turn the space into a light, bright area while adding texture and warmth. It was the exact effect she craved for her space.
