Exploring Fabrics for Window Treatments

No longer is fabric just a material choice. In the world of interior décor, fabric choice can seem endless, with both organic and manmade materials available aplenty.

Fabrics for Window Treatments, Hunter Douglas Provenance® Woven Wood Shades near Anaheim, California (CA)

When crafting new window treatments, the material choice is of the utmost importance because the fabric heavily influences the style and function. The material will help to keep window treatments visually interesting within your home, especially when using neutral tones, and it affects the features and light control that the window treatment can provide.

But with so many fabric choices for homeowners, it can be hard to find the perfect fabric for your household’s style niche amongst the veritable sea of materials and textiles available. At Don’s Drapery Service, we are here to help you wade through your options from woven woods and sustainable textiles to advance man-made sheers and designer fabrics for window treatments.

Woven Wood Textiles

The woven materials used in treatments like Provenance® Woven Wood Shades have incredible textural interest. This comes from the organic materials used, including woods, grasses, and reeds in the organic weaves in this collection. Available with a range of openness options from light filtering to opaque, interesting textures give color depth and add dimension to fabric treatments to keep them from reading dull or flat. Woven wood textiles in the Provenance® collection can be fabricated as Roman shades or drapery.

Sustainable Options

For environmentally conscious households that demand style and performance, options for sustainable fabrics for window treatments include both recycled materials and organic textiles.

Natural fabrics made from materials like bamboo in the Provenance® Woven Wood Shades collection present an organic material with a shortened maturity cycle, easy processing, and the ability to be recycled.

Or for Designer Solar Shades by Hunter Douglas, you’ll find the exclusive GreenScreen® Sea-Tex™ fabric, a fabric for window treatments that was woven from yarn spun from recovered plastics taken out of the ocean or off the coastline.

Sheer Materials

When it comes to enhancing visual interest, few fabrics for window treatments are more compelling than sheer materials. Sheers have a gorgeous translucency that not only gives the treatment a subtle sense of grace, but it also allows for a view out creating an open and airy feel and filters natural sunlight for a soft, warm interior lighting option.

Sheer materials can be found in numerous styles of window treatments including side panels, curtains and drapery as well as modern sheer shadings that combine sheer and opaque materials in a single unit for visual contrast and elevated control. Sheer shadings from Hunter Douglas include both vertical and horizontal applications.

Designer Fabrics

For the ultimate in luxury fabrics for window treatments homeowners have access to three distinct designer fabric lines through the Hunter Douglas Design Studio™ collection. Seema Krish, Rebecca Atwood, and Marcie Bronkar have all created one-of-a-kind fabrics for residential window treatments that embody the artists' unique aesthetic viewpoint and take on modern interior design. Using designer fabrics in the Design Studio collection, homeowners can have custom drapery, side panels, roller shades, or Roman shades made for their home.
