Bamboo shades refer to window shades made from lightweight materials such as bamboo, reed, rattan, jutes, faux wood and woven woods. These are typically woven together to create a textured, natural look. They are also a very affordable option, and require little maintenance. Dusting with a feathered or lambs wool duster will often to the trick, as will careful vacuuming with the duster attachment. Because they are lightweight, they are not as durable as some other options. They are available in a range of styles, and often use pull cords for moving them up and down. These two issues make them not a good choice for a children's room, but other than that, they can be used to compliment a number of decorating styles. Many also come with valance options for a complete window treatment.
Bamboo shades have been used for a long time. Originally, they were made by drying bamboo reeds, and weaving them together using rope. If you want an 'old style' bamboo shade, it is possible to find handmade shades for a reasonable price. Advances in technology also make a number of other styles available, many of which are similar to the original hand crafted versions.
