Understanding Matchstick Shades

Matchstick shades get their name from the thin, round pieces of organic material, usually wood or bamboo, which look like matchsticks because of their flat profile. Matchstick shades are part of a larger group of window treatments called woven wood shades that encompass several types made from natural elements. Hunter Douglas features three distinct styles of woven wood shades in their collection that take the nature-inspired beauty of matchstick shades to the next level for the modern Maryland home.

Matchstick Shades: Choosing Your Window Treatment

Benefits of Woven Wood Shades for Windows

  • Protection from UV Rays: Natural sunlight contains UV, so if the right steps aren't taken when covering your windows, there is always the danger of UV damage to household items and flooring. Woven wood shades for windows filter incoming sunlight with natural charm, creating protected yet stylish spaces that will help keep your flooring and furniture looking great for years to come.
  • Nature-Inspired Sophistication: We love the nature-inspired themes in modern interior design trends and the way they imbue inside spaces with the wide-open beauty of the great outdoors. Hunter Douglas woven shades take that nature-inspired design to a sophisticated level with refined textiles and modern styles that showcase the treatment's textural depth and chic profiles.
  • Modern Amenities: Hunter Douglas woven shades have the optional upgrade to PowerView® Automation for the convenience of hands-free operation and the efficiency of automated control. Use this enhancement to set your motorized window shades to open or close on a schedule or adjust them during the hottest or coldest parts of the day.
