They create a soft, neutral and textural style that blends with a wide variety of decor. Grand Millennial, Boho, Traditional, Transitional, Coastal and Farmhouse all work with this style of window shade. They are timeless, affordable and sophisticated.

Tips

If you want lined bamboo shades for total privacy, you’ll need to choose a custom option, which also means you’ll need exacting measurements. Measure twice to ensure accuracy.
If your blinds are located in harder to reach spaces, consider a motorized option, available in the custom blinds department of Lowe’s. Read more about Blackout Roller Shades here.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the disadvantages of bamboo shades?

The most significant disadvantage to bamboo shades is that they are often not lined, so they do lack privacy. Considered to be light-filtering, they do offer privacy during the day, but they might not be enough for bedrooms and bathrooms, especially at night.
If you need full privacy and a room darkening finish, be sure to choose the fully lined option!

Do bamboo blinds keep heat out?

Like most window shades, bamboo shades do offer insulation, which saved you a little money on your energy bills in all seasons! Because they sit so close to the glass of your window, they block sunlight as well as hot and cold air.

Can bamboo blinds get wet?

Bamboo is moisture resistant, but you should still check with each manufacturer’s suggestion for location ratings.

Are bamboo blinds see through at night?

While bamboo blinds do give privacy during daytime hours, they feel a little less private at night. If you’re concerned about privacy, choose a bamboo shade with a full blackout lining.
