Bamboo Window Shades | Bamboo Curtains

If you are looking to add a tropical touch to the decor in your home and/or office then bamboo curtains are the perfect choice. Matching your curtains to the rest of the furniture in your space can be tricky but it is completely doable if you keep all the different and unique textures and colors in mind. Some living room furniture will never completley match the style of your curtain but you make it work in any room by carefully picking a decorative mural or sticking with neutral bamboo.

Not only are bamboo curtains used as window coverings but they are also now gaining popularity as room dividers, decorative screens inside and outside or even wall murals. They are extremely durable and very easy to clean. Unlike most shades that collect dust and build up grime you can easily wipe the curtains down with a damp cloth, which takes no time or effort at all. Not too mention they are a green alternative to normal wood curtains.

Nowadays, bamboo curtains are made by using a weaving technique that they used many years ago combined with modern technology of cutting the pieces of bamboo, boiling them then drying then. After they are dried they are threaded with wire which makes a single tapering strand of bamboo which is then attached to a wooden piece at the top. They are attached to the wall with nails or hooks.

Bamboo curtains come in a range of prices. Look for the ones that best suit your decor, but do not overstep your budget. You can find them online or at many brick and mortar furniture stores in your community.

Matching Bamboo Curtains To Your Living Room Furniture

Stick with natural bamboo curtains, if your furniture is a variety of colors or shapes. This helps keep the curtains neutral and not make the living room look too busy. Scope out the colors of your living room. Look at the accent rugs, pictures, vases, candles and any other living room decorations you have. Notice the color variations of your furniture, too. Keep all of these in mind when picking out a curtain, making certain to pick a curtain that matches or complements these colors. Decide where you want the curtains to be placed. You can use bamboo curtains as a room divider, a wall hanging or as a closet covering, instead of a door. Choose a curtain with a mural if brightening up a room is your goal. Bamboo curtain shops sell curtains with beach scenes, flowers, birds, people and large animals painted on them. Match the colors in the mural to the colors in your living room furniture.
