Asian Window Treatment

January 17, 2008

One thing you should know about Asian window treatment is that you will be using bamboo for your decorating. This is because the wood itself is very versatile enabling it to be used in almost any room in the house.

An example of this is the bamboo shade. From that name itself, it is quite obvious that they use bamboo sticks but some manufacturers use other materials to create the same effect such as faux wood, jutes, rattan, reed and woven woods.The best part about it is that it is cheap and requires little maintenance. The only thing you have to do is use a duster to make it good as new.

This is available in a range of styles and often with pull cords so you can move it up or down.

The downside to this kind of Asian window treatment is that it is not durable. But given its affordability, it won’t hurt the pocket that much to replace.

Another thing you should know is that this is not ideal to have in the children’s play room because there is a good chance it will get damaged or destroyed.

Aside from the pull cords, another variation is the roll up shades. This is also easy to operate and adds an interesting look to the room.

You can even buy the bamboo roman shades. This model lifts in folds and creates an open look with a visual style. When opened, the shades look like pleats. This has better lining compared to the other two as this does not show when this is opened.

As you can see, there are different methods for lifting the shades. So when you are shopping for the right Asian window treatment for your home, it is best to pay attention to the quality of the hanging framework and the pull mechanisms as this will determine the life of your shades. Better yet, check if the manufacturer has a warranty on the said product so this can be exchanged or you may get a refund.

There is a challenge in Asian window treatments especially when bamboo is used. Given that it is made from natural materials, the color of each one varies. You just have to pay attention to the detail whenever you are buying it so there is not that much discrepancy from one to the other.

When you have brought your Asian window treatment home, be sure to read the instructions especially if you are going to install this yourself.

Aside from shades, you can also use bamboo stained glass as your Asian window treatment. These come in different sizes so you can put one over the other or just get a big one. You can make a statement by getting a large beautiful skylight with the bamboo design built right in.

The nice thing about bamboo glass windows like the shades is that these are also easy to install. There is the hanging window design that you can do yourself or a more complicated one that can be done by a professional.

As you can see, Asian window treatment is much easy and affordable. Try it out and see if this works for your home. After all, you can say already a lot about your home with just a simple look.
