I’m really excited to share some home updates with you here on the blog. Our full kitchen reveal is coming soon so stay tuned. In the meantime, I’ve been working on our built-in dining nook that I’ve taken over as a work space in quarantine. This space was originally our dining room, and used mostly for entertaining. Opening up the space has worked really well for us, but I struggled with window treatments that would allow for natural light and privacy. These woven wood shades from Select Blinds were the answer.
Why Woven Wood Shades?
I did a TON of research on different types of shades for this space, and woven wood shades were truly the best option. Our house was built in the late 1930’s, and I was concerned about covering up the details of these windows. In the end I’m so glad we went with these shades that truly complete the space. I love that the shades let in natural light, but also allow for us to have privacy when needed.
I reached out to Select Blinds to partner with them on this project, and absolutely loved working with them. Cory and I both found it easy to measure, install and use these woven wood shades. Thank you Select Blinds for providing me with a discount for these shades!
What I Love About Select Blinds
When I realized I wanted woven wood shades in our dining space, I did a lot of research. I quickly realized that the quality of the shades, and custom sizing were key. Select Blinds has a wide variety of options for these woven wood shades when it comes to the material and color. The best part is you can order free samples to see how the color works in your space, and feel the product. I ordered five different samples and ended up choosing the Designer Reserve Natural Woven Wood Shades in Antigua Natural. I really love this material and neutral color in our dining room.
After I picked out the color, we measured the windows following the instructions from Select Blinds. It’s great that these shades are custom made to fit your window perfectly. If you feel like your space needs more privacy, you can also add a liner to these woven wood shades. The liner gives you extra privacy, and also blocks out some of the sunlight. Since we are using the shades in our dining room, we didn’t add a liner.
Another thing I’ve loved about these shades is that they are cordless. The ring on the back of the shades is very easy to use, and I don’t have to worry about cords hanging down. The cordless style of the shades really gives the windows a clean look.
When it comes to installing these shades Cory and I were shocked at how easy it was. The directions from Select Blinds were easy to follow, and didn’t take us long to install them.
A huge thank you to Select Blinds for partnering with me on this project by providing a discount. If you’re looking for woven wood shades I would highly recommend using Select Blinds. Please leave a comment below if you you have any questions about these shades.
