Today, I’m sharing ideas for bamboo shades. I absolutely love bamboo shades and think that they are a great addition to any room in your home. Just take a look at all the images in this blog post to see what I mean. From the dining room to the bedroom, bamboo shades are among the most versatile window treatment available.

We’ve had such an incredible stretch of summer weather! The skies are have been practically cloudless and the highs have been in the 70’s and 80’s. I realized a few years ago that any temperature in the 70’s was “my happy place” and I imagine the folks living in California get that just about every day – I am envious. On the East Coast, we’ve been shutting off the AC in favor of opening our windows and doors to let in the fresh air and sunshine. I have the urge to peel away the fabric shades in favor of something more airy. When I think of summer inspired rooms, my mind goes to bamboo shades. I love how they filter the summer sun and let the warm breeze in. They look equally beautiful alone or paired with drapes for a softer effect. I like how the bamboo color picks up the natural tones in a wood floor or a sisal rug and ties a room together, it gives it a coastal feel and brings the summer inside.
