Wood Shades vs. Wood Shutters
There are many reasons to love wooden features in interior décor: Its warm, organic aesthetic. Its functional flexibility. Its innate strength and durability. Even its cohesion into several different design aesthetics, either between home to home or room to room, makes it desirable. And one easy way to bring this in-demand material into your home is with wooden window treatments. They provide both light control and a design element to enhance the look and comfort of your residence. Two of the most popular types of wooden treatments are wood shutters and woven wood shades, and we’re here to help you figure out which would work best in your home.
Why You’ll Love Wood Shutters
Heritance® Wood Shutters from Hunter Douglas have a diverse assortment of benefits for homeowners that easily meet the demands of a range of different households. And with customizable aesthetic features like color and louver size, new wood shutters can be tailored to different décor styles without sacrificing any of the universal benefits this window treatment offers.
- Child-Safety: The louvers on shutters open and close using a tilt bar (either front, back, or hidden). As such, shutters are a cord-free window treatment, a safer option for homes with children, as hanging lines pose a strangulation hazard.
- Timeless Aesthetic: More than 2000 years ago, shutters came into being, and since then, they’ve evolved with the introduction of new building materials and developing styles. However, they’ve always stayed true to their classic design with strong linear elements that create a polished and sophisticated look in any room of the home.
- Trifecta of Control: Plantation-style wood shutters control three crucial elements in the home: incoming natural light, airflow, and privacy. With the easy tilting of the louvers, homeowners can adjust and balance the mix of sunlight, ventilation, and privacy to suit their needs exactly.
Why You’ll Love Woven Wood Shades
Provenance® Woven Wood Shades are an exquisitely unique style of wooden window treatment that brings a softer touch to wood shades. Along with Alustra® Woven Textures® in the Hunter Douglas collection, these woven wood shades offer one-of-a-kind looks backed by an advanced set of features for the modern home.
- Modern Look: Thanks to the organic weaves of the materials used in woven wood shades, the treatment has a raw yet refined look at home in many contemporary interior design styles, from spa-inspired bathrooms to Bohemian chic living rooms.
- Sustainable Materials: Woven wood shades can be made from natural materials such as reeds, wood, grasses, and bamboo. And it is that last option of bamboo that presents a sustainable building material with shorter maturity cycles, easier processing, and recyclability.
- Available with Motorization: For the modern home upgrade, woven wood shades with the latest in motorized operating systems. PowerView® Automation makes control effortless with in-home (remote or wall panel), online (PowerView App), or smart system interfaces, including with home assistant programs (Amazon Alexa, Siri®, Google Assistant, or Apple HomeKit) and complete smart home integration.
