Modern bamboo curtains are a single rolled fabric consisting of numerous bamboo tubes. Tubes made from natural bamboo stems are connected to each other with natural strong thread, making up a long curtain - a curtain.
A bamboo curtain is a flexible fabric made of woven twigs or slats
The convenience of the design lies in the ability to assemble the curtain into a dense and aesthetic roll over the window. This is achieved using a simple mechanism that is easy to use. The diameter of the resulting roll can be from 5 to 25 cm, and depends on the thickness and length of the web.
The main advantage of such a curtain is its naturalness and environmental friendliness. This is not only a tribute to fashion, but also environmental safety (the natural material is completely non-toxic). Therefore, bamboo roller blinds can be placed even in the nursery, near the playpen, and it will not only be aesthetically pleasing, but also completely safe.

Bamboo roller blinds for windows
Bamboo blinds are a modernized version of conventional blinds. At the same time, instead of plastic, eco-friendly materials are used in production. Such blinds can be vertical and horizontal. In the first case, strips of bamboo are closely woven together. The output is a dense, single web.
The curtains have incredibly beautiful natural shades, the range of which varies from bright green to rich honey, gradually turning into brown.
Horizontal blinds look like ordinary wooden blinds - they consist of bamboo slats. According to the mechanism, they are Roman (folded like an accordion or waves) and roll.
This window decoration will give the room a touch of oriental comfort and warmth.
The second mechanism is much simpler, so this type of blinds is cheaper. Affordable price, ease of maintenance, and environmental friendliness have made wooden roller blinds very popular for several years. And it is worth noting that popularity is growing every year at a very steady pace.
Horizontal models of bamboo curtains are designed for window decoration.
As for the interior, quite recently it was believed that such natural blinds fit harmoniously only in oriental interiors. But today they are used in absolutely any style from country to loft style.
The colors of bamboo curtains are mostly natural, without painting.
Important! There are about 200 species of bamboo in the world. This diversity allows manufacturers to produce natural blinds in completely different colors and shades.

Design features
Bamboo curtains resemble plastic blinds, but they have undeniable advantages over plastic products. The curtain is a single piece of thin strips of bamboo woven together using decorative threads.
During the manufacturing process, a curtain made from natural material receives a unique pattern, which is given by the natural texture. In Japanese models, bamboo plates are attached to the tulle.
Curtain painting is done to achieve an exclusive appearance. High demands are placed on quality products. Paintings are performed only using dyes made from ingredients that are safe for human health.
Curtains for the windows of small rooms can be decorated with appliqués. Thanks to this decorative element, pleasant notes appear in the atmosphere of the room. The window looks attractive and the room becomes more comfortable.

Available sizes - from 60 x 160 to 160 x 160 cm. Colors - light oak, sand, naked brown, Osaka, cherry.
Roman models
The curtain fabric is made from sticks and reeds, and a jute binding is used. Surprising but true. Roman curtains in their construction and general design features remained the same as in Ancient Rome. But there is still a difference: thousands of years ago, curtains were made on a fabric basis.
This type is fixed to the cornice; control rods help form folds. At the bottom of the curtain there is a special weighting material, the task of which is to hold the shape of the curtain. With the help of simple manipulations, you can fold and unfold the canvas into beautiful folds.
The process of controlling the curtain is simple; one visual demonstration is enough to understand how to use the structure. In the future, you will no longer need to look at the user manual.
Among bamboo products, if desired, you can find options that match the oriental theme.

Care and operation
A bamboo roller blind for a window can last for many years without requiring any hassle. Caring for them is easy and inexpensive. They can be installed on the veranda, balcony and open area, in any room, regardless of humidity, light and temperature.
Bamboo products do not require special care
It is convenient to wipe bamboo sheets with a special dust brush
During cleaning, it is enough to wipe the bamboo cloth with a damp cloth or microfiber, or go through it with a vacuum cleaner. They should not be excessively wet, and the material does not absorb dust and dirt. You can wipe them with a brush or soft broom to remove dust.
Important! Chemicals and caustic detergents are unacceptable - they can damage the fabric and change its shade.
To keep the mechanism in good working order, you should treat it with care. Do not pull on the bottom edge to lower the curtain - it may break. You should also not sharply pull the cord or chain; you do not need to use force. If the lifting mechanism does not give in, you should repair the structure rather than use force - this only risks breaking it completely.
The lifting mechanism of the curtains is quite simple and reliable if handled carefully.
The lifting mechanism itself must be lubricated periodically (every two to three months) to ensure better serviceability.
Product specifics
This is not the first time that bamboo has gained popularity in our country. The initial “boom” occurred in the 1970s, when the USSR and Asian states were connected by active cooperation.
It was then that the houses of our compatriots were filled with inexpensive products that were woven by hand from straws or pieces of 3-year-old plants, tying them with jute, fabric and obtaining a complete fabric.
The designs are not characterized by a variety of colors; they are characterized by the color of nature, varying between a light beige bleached color and a dark brown tone.
Possessing natural beauty, these simple things contribute to home comfort, and Feng Shui adherents claim that they really resist negative energy.
The panels are treated with specialized impregnations that prevent fading and repel dust. The fibers have antimicrobial and antibacterial properties that promote a good microclimate.
How to choose?
The first thing you should pay attention to when choosing roller blinds is the dimensions and size. The canvas must be selected by first measuring the window space. The window should be closed completely, with a small margin.
From a practical point of view, it is better to hang a separate curtain on each window sash.
The appearance of bamboo curtains should fit into the overall style of the interior
Color is also an important factor when choosing. You should rely on your own taste preferences, the style of the overall interior of the space, as well as the surrounding environment. Curtains should not blend in with the walls and furniture; it is much better if they are a contrasting, but not too bright spot in the overall picture. Having decided on the desired shade, you should make sure that each strip in the canvas is colored evenly, that there are no errors, gaps, or stains.

The quality of weaving is an important factor that ensures the durability of the accessory. The thread must be strong and thick enough, and the weaving must be checkerboard, and not a single strip in the fabric should be missed. Pay attention to the integrity of the thread - no knots, roughness or thin, torn areas are allowed on it.
The tighter the weave of the curtain, the less sunlight it will let through.
The lifting mechanism should operate smoothly and effortlessly. The structure should rise and fall smoothly, without delays or labor.
Correctly chosen bamboo roller blinds will decorate your home for many years, add uniqueness to the interior, and become the pride of their owners.
Convenient, environmentally friendly and inexpensive - these are the qualities that buyers choose bamboo curtains for
Stylistic directions
Light colors give the room a festive look, in keeping with Mediterranean, Californian and European styles. The darkened variation will suit ethnic, Japanese, Asian styles, where the decor is replenished with mats, wall panels, dishes made of bronze and brass, and porcelain. Country will take on a playful touch with additional floral-patterned curtains.
Natural samples perfectly complement the marine stylization, where the blue and white upholstery looks amazing in alliance with bamboo, reminiscent of an expensive yacht.
The appearance of hanging curtains is delightful, producing the sound of rustling waves when the breeze blows. Manufacturers include artificial beads and glass beads in their base, achieving inimitable colorfulness.
In the retro branch, this is the backdrop for sculptures, unusual lamps, and exclusive furniture groups. Modern loft and hi-tech, which respect freedom and lack of frills, also prefer the functionality of extraordinary fixtures.
Naturalness and safety for human health invariably remain the primary criteria when decorating a home. Minimal financial costs will result in a complete transformation of the interior for the better for the owners, as confirmed by photos of bamboo curtains.

Japanese models
Japanese curtains are classified as a separate subtype. Thin fabric in several layers is stretched onto the cornice. The material is decorated with thin pressed bamboo plates. You can adjust the degree of closure to suit yourself; control is carried out using the bar at the bottom.
Japanese models are recommended for decorating oriental interiors. Thanks to their strict appearance, they fit perfectly into office style. It all depends on personal preference: if you like these curtains, then you can use them to decorate your bedroom, nursery or kitchen.
The models have thin plates, so it is better to hang them on the windows on the side that is illuminated by the sun only in the first half of the day.
New trend
The “plastic boom” has gradually become obsolete. People give less and less preference to polymer and synthetic materials, which negatively affect their overall health. Synthetics are being replaced by natural and organic products. Ecological materials are “in price” today; they are the peak of perfection, a sign of refined taste and luxury. They not only decorate rooms, but also use them as decorative elements and style accessories.
Slat location
The most popular option is bamboo sheets with horizontal slats. This type of roller blind will allow you to achieve the effect of maximum darkening.
Roller blinds with vertically positioned slats are more resistant to sudden gusts of wind. If necessary, wooden plates can move in different directions and rotate around their axis.

Bamboo roller blinds made of woven fabric are ideally combined with heavy curtains made of cotton and linen, essentially replacing traditional white tulle.
Wicker fabrics protect well from bright sunlight. The ability to transmit the sun's rays is regulated by the density of the weaving and the color saturation of the fabric (the darker the color, the less light enters the room).
Design tips
Bamboo curtains can be installed on window openings in absolutely any room:
- bedroom;
- living room;
- dining room
The material is natural, which means it is completely adapted to natural conditions and elements. Water is not a death sentence for bamboo, so curtains made from this material can be safely used in the bathroom.
