Blinds made from such an exotic material as bamboo are a unique piece of furniture that combines sophisticated style and material; they are also made from natural materials. As a rule, bamboo blinds fit perfectly into the interior of an apartment or house , refresh the bedroom, add sophistication to the living room, and are suitable for a nursery. Nowadays they are also popular in office interiors, as well as in the decoration of restaurant premises, bars and other social institutions.
Bamboo curtains have a rigid frame on which a mechanism is located that is responsible for raising and opening the curtain. This mechanism is thought out to the smallest detail, so it works great even with exotic materials.
Bamboo blinds consist of slats - narrow and thin plates that are only one or two centimeters wide . They are made from wood, subjected to special processing and drying. These plates are characterized by increased wear resistance and strength, so they are ideal for creating unusual and attractive blinds. They form a single flexible curtain - thanks to the stitching of the lamellas along the edges. Bamboo blinds are a canvas, a rolling and fastening system.
Bamboo curtains in the interior: design tips
Bamboo curtains can be hung not only on windows, but also in front of the door or in its place.
For this, Japanese bamboo panels and curtains made of bamboo sticks with a free bottom are often used. Bamboo blinds are best used on windows facing the sunny side. They perfectly protect from bright rays, letting a lot of soft light into the room.
Bamboo curtains go well with classic curtains, both tulle and curtains. Therefore, bamboo blinds can be safely hung when it is necessary to protect the fabric from the sun without disturbing the decor of the windows.
Bamboo blinds are suitable for all rooms: living room, bedroom, nursery, office, kitchen, bathroom. They are especially good for children due to their environmental friendliness and hypoallergenicity. But in the kitchen you will need to install a good hood so that the curtains do not absorb the smell.
Bamboo curtains will emphasize the naturalness of the interior in styles such as chalet, eco-style, country, modern, colonial, Mediterranean, ethno. Bamboo curtains go well with furniture made of natural wood and rattan.
Bamboo blinds are also suitable for interiors that do not emphasize naturalness. For example, such curtains can be used to decorate a living room window in Art Deco, classical and neoclassical styles. In some places they will replace tulle or curtains, in others they will serve as an independent decorative element, because bamboo can be painted in different colors and not focus on their naturalness.

Types of bamboo curtains
Bamboo blinds are divided according to two characteristics: the shape of the material and the type of lifting mechanism.
In the first case, these are canvases assembled from thin straws or stems. Sometimes the straws are intertwined in several places with single-colored or multi-colored threads. This way they form beautiful patterns, creating an original pattern of the canvas. The stems are also attached to each other with threads, but without a decorative accent.
In the second case, bamboo blinds are divided into horizontal and vertical. Horizontal options include roller shades, Roman shades and horizontal blinds. Vertical blinds, Japanese curtains and panels.
Bamboo straws are used to make Roman blinds and roller blinds. The up-down lifting mechanism is the same, only the Roman fabric is folded, and the roller blind is rolled into a roll.
Shutters, both horizontal and vertical, are made from bamboo slats instead of the usual wood or plastic.
Japanese panels with a width of 40 to 80 centimeters can be made from either straw or slabs. They occupy the entire height from ceiling to floor and move from side to side, like a door to a room.
Classic curtains with multi-colored edging around the edges are also “sewn” with bamboo straw. Sometimes long curtains are assembled from large untied straws with an unfastened bottom. The straws are only attached at the top.
Variety of models
Today, manufacturers produce several varieties of bamboo blinds, all of them differ from each other not only in appearance, but also in the installed mechanisms. The main working structure consists of narrow lamellas attached to a special frame and fastened with strong thread, fishing line or jute. A plumb line must be added to the canvas in order to maintain the even shape of the products while suspended. After this, the surface of the planks is necessarily covered with a layer of protective coating, which significantly extends the service life of the finished products.
It is worth noting that most of the work in the manufacture of high-quality blinds is done by experienced craftsmen by hand. Today, there are several proven methods for large-scale production of bamboo slats:
- The young shoots are carefully cut lengthwise and then squeezed out to the required width.
- If the trunks are large, then they are cut exclusively across, determining the required length in advance.
- Craftsmen use an original carpet weave of very thin stems. The result is an original likeness of a thin canvas.
The final structure contains both vertical and horizontal layers. In modern decor, woven fabrics - roller blinds - are in great demand. Designers say that it is best to choose a horizontal arrangement of lamellas for houses and apartments. This type of curtain allows you to get the maximum eclipse effect. If you need to fill the room with light, then the canvas is simply raised in gathers, thereby saving free space.
The vertical arrangement of the lamellas is easier to control. The universal rope mechanism perfectly resists gusty winds, as well as other natural factors. If necessary, such plates can freely rotate around their axis, as well as move from one edge to the other. This option is most suitable for installation in offices, schools, kindergartens, and hospitals.
Combination with the interior of the rooms
Bamboo curtains can be used to decorate windows in various rooms. They look perfect in living rooms and offices, and can decorate a window opening in a billiard room or office. They add sophistication and brightness to the room. A variety of color combinations allows you to choose the most natural color that fits perfectly into the interior of the room.
For modern interiors, you can choose models in fashionable or fluorescent colors. Natural shades are beautiful in a classic style.
Bamboo blinds can be used not only to decorate living spaces, but also for offices, themed restaurants or cafes. Since bamboo is an environmentally friendly raw material, such curtains can be used to decorate a child's room.
When choosing bamboo blinds, you should take into account the characteristics of the room in which they will be placed, as well as the type of window.
It is worth paying attention to the following nuances:
- Vertical blinds can be used for a large kitchen or a large balcony. These options go well with wicker furniture.
- Bamboo curtains can be safely used to decorate a bathroom window, since their properties do not disappear under high humidity. These curtains create an atmosphere of freshness and do not harbor bacteria.
- Horizontal curtains will help decorate your bedroom. They perfectly protect the room from sunlight, and also have thermoregulating properties, so they will create a comfortable atmosphere for sleeping.
- For large rooms, it is better to opt for massive models. For small spaces, choose elegant options.
Curtains made from natural bamboo can be easily and harmoniously used in a variety of design styles, creating a unique, cozy atmosphere.
More than 200 types of bamboo are used in modern production. Various processing technologies allow you to choose the desired color range from trendy bright colors to discreet natural shades.
These curtains go well with wooden and wicker furniture, and the color of the curtains should be the same shade or a little lighter. In this case, the curtains are allowed to be 2-3 shades lighter.
They will look very natural in the following combinations:
- if the room has furniture made from natural materials and chintz bedspreads. This will highlight the rustic country style;
- with a dark wood window in the kitchen;
- with other eco-style elements located near the window;
- on balconies and verandas with green living plants or rooms of similar design;
- in the presence of oriental ornaments and souvenirs, for example, a large Chinese vase, porcelain, Japanese fan on the wall;
- along with long fabric curtains;
- with a marine style in shades of blue;
- with a formal and strict atmosphere of an office space.
Separately, I would like to note that bamboo curtains are an ideal option for children’s rooms due to their naturalness and beneficial properties. In this case, in addition to the window curtain, the bamboo canvas can be used as a background for children's drawings and paintings.
It is recommended to hang bamboo curtains in rooms with relatively small window openings. In a small bedroom, combined with a suitable interior, they help save space.
Bamboo-based curtains will look almost anywhere, but they are best combined with wooden furniture and calm tones in the interior.
Installation of bamboo blinds
There are some significant factors to consider before attaching bamboo blinds. You will need to choose the optimal mounting method: on the inside of the window opening, directly on it, or on the ceiling. Bamboo blinds should be installed at such a height that it does not interfere with the opening and closing of the window sashes. Before hanging bamboo blinds, you need to focus on the dimensions and compare them with the window openings. When mounted in a hole, the dimensions of the blinds should exceed the size of the window by ten centimeters, inside the window opening itself by less than 1 centimeter.
The connection of bamboo curtains is reproduced with support for multi-purpose mounts in the following mode:
- Take the bracket and unscrew the pin, then remove the bottom bar. Mark the attachment point;
- Drill holes of the required size. Insert dowels;
- Install the fasteners, fasten with self-tapping screws;
- Place the bottom bar, lightly secure it with a bolt;
- Place the cornice in brackets;
- Screw the pin on the bottom bar all the way.
The product is always accompanied by instructions, which usually explain the installation process in detail. In this case, almost everyone will be able to carry out actions without the help of others.
Stylistic directions
Light colors give the room a festive atmosphere, consistent with Mediterranean, Californian and European styles. The darkened variation is suitable for ethnic, Japanese, and Asian styles, where the decor is filled with mats, wall panels, bronze and brass plates, and porcelain.
Natural motifs combine perfectly with a nautical style, where blue and white upholstery looks wonderful next to bamboo, reminiscent of an expensive yacht.
Hanging curtains look amazing. Their rustling sound resembles the sound of waves when the wind blows.
Retro style is an excellent backdrop for sculptures, unusual lamps and exclusive furniture groups. Modern and high-tech lofts respect freedom and no frills. They appreciate the functionality of unusual curtains.
Naturalness and safety for human health invariably remain fundamental criteria when arranging a home. Minimal financial costs for the purchase of bamboo curtains will result in a complete transformation of the interior for the owners.
Types of construction and design of curtains
Curtains are available in horizontal and vertical versions. The first option is used for windows, the second for doors. For bamboo roller blinds, the fabric is wound onto a roller. Lifting devices are chain, spring or cable.
The frame has different sizes depending on the thickness of the curtain. The slats vary in width 2.5-5 cm, which determines the amount of light transmitted.
At the bottom there is a decorative braid on which the fabric is wound. Using a fastener, the roll is fixed at the desired height when lifted.
Fastening is carried out directly on the sash, on the frame, on the window opening. Roman blinds work on the accordion principle, folding in the form of wavy folds.
Horizontal
Bamboo curtains are assembled from individual boards woven together. Due to the fairly tight fit, the mesh is formed without significant gaps.
Horizontal bamboo systems can be in the form of roller blinds or Roman blinds. Externally, these are boards that are assembled together, and the foundation is equipped with a weighting agent. This design is controlled using a cable.
The assembled roller blind looks like a compact cylinder. The controls, like the structure of the mechanism itself, are not complicated.
Roman bamboo: do not twist, but fold, tightening the canvas. In this case, beautiful decorative folds are formed, which themselves serve as decoration for window openings. The mechanism is more complex than their woven counterparts.
Bamboo roller blinds
Bamboo roller blinds are thicker than other types. They are hung on windows facing the sunny side.
The design allows you to create an optimal indoor microclimate. The room is dim even at noon; the curtain can provide freshness even without turning on the air conditioning system.
Roller blinds cannot be attached to the frame. Installed above the window with an indentation of 20 or 30 cm. Fastening is carried out using a cornice. Roller blinds can be attached to both the ceiling and the wall.
Threads
This version of bamboo furniture has not lost its popularity to this day. Most often, such curtains are used to decorate a door or zone the space in a room.
The photo shows a living room and a door decorated with bamboo curtains.
Blinds
Horizontal bamboo structures will look expensive and formal in any interior. Vertical bamboo slats gently diffuse sunlight and create a cozy and comfortable atmosphere in the room.
Japanese models
Japanese curtains are classified as a separate type. Thin fabric is stretched over the frame in several layers. The material is decorated with thin pressed bamboo slabs. You can adjust the degree of closure yourself; control is carried out using the bar at the bottom.
Japanese models are recommended for oriental interiors. Thanks to their strict appearance, they fit perfectly into the office style. It all depends on personal preference: if you like these curtains, 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 where the sun shines only in the morning.
Roman models
Gazebo fabric is made from sticks and reeds on a jute binding. Surprising but true. Roman curtains in their design and general design features remained the same as in Ancient Rome. But there is still one difference: thousands of years ago curtains were made on a fabric basis.
This type is attached to the cornice; rods help create folds. At the bottom of the curtain there is a special weighting agent, the task of which is to maintain the shape of the curtain. With simple manipulations you can fold and unfold the canvas into beautiful folds.
The process of controlling curtains is simple; a visual demonstration is enough to understand how to use the design.
Among bamboo products, if desired, you can find options that correspond to an oriental theme.
Varieties by shape
The shape and its varieties are selected based on personal taste and interior style.
- A vertical structure consisting of a long rope on which bamboo sticks are strung.
- Wicker. They have different weaving patterns, widths and colors. They are distinguished by a large selection, natural materials, sophistication, elegant appearance and simplicity.
- Rings. Decorative, light, dynamic and movable hanging curtains in the form of intertwined rings can give any room a unique Asian flavor.
Vertical curtains
Bamboo door curtains are made from the stems of the plant. Instead of interior doors, such structures are used. The slats can be fixed or mobile. In the second case, the fastening is carried out on the cornice.
Wicker curtains for the door are not only vertical, but also horizontal. They look harmonious in the interior with indoor flowers and decorative elements made from various natural materials.
Variants of Japanese models are successfully used as screens or partitions. They allow you to zone a room. Curtains are often hung on doors. This unusual device is easy to make with your own hands.
Advantages and disadvantages
Bamboo is popular in interior design, primarily because of its naturalness, high strength and attractive appearance. Due to its rapid growth, bamboo is considered a rapidly renewable natural resource. Taking this into account, bamboo does not absorb harmful substances from the external environment, unlike other trees. This makes it an absolutely safe eco-material.

The material is characterized by its lightness , which allows you to decorate a spacious window or door with one single piece. If the blinds are made of plastic or aluminum, then such a design solution is not always appropriate.
Blinds made of natural bamboo act as an original design piece of furniture. They can be used to decorate a window. They look beautiful in tandem with delicate curtains or tapestry fabrics, which are characterized by density.
Compactness is another important advantage. If horizontal blinds are folded, they will become almost invisible on the window.

Production is divided into the production of natural and decorative bamboo. At the same time, natural bamboo is in much greater demand among consumers. The high content of silicon compounds in the very structure of the curtain fabric gives them additional rigidity and elasticity. Bamboo blinds can not only add oriental notes to the interior, but also create a good microclimate in the room.
Bamboo blinds also have disadvantages . The main one is the high price, especially if the product is made by hand. In addition, even such durable blinds as bamboo require careful handling and are quite capable of breaking at one point. But repairs will be expensive, and will be comparable in price to buying new plastic blinds.
Although if you want to create a “bamboo grove” at home, will these little things stop you?
Another feature of bamboo is that it deforms under its own weight, so products made from it have size restrictions. For large areas, several separate narrow blinds are installed. Be sure to take this into account when purchasing blinds for large windows.
How they look in the interior
Bamboo curtains on windows are often used in the design of living rooms, because the interior should not only be beautiful and comfortable, but also environmentally friendly.
In the kitchen
Short bamboo curtains reaching to the window sill can decorate the kitchen even in the most ultra-modern style. However, this material absorbs various odors very quickly, so it is best to use it in a room with good ventilation.
The photo shows a kitchen with windows decorated with Roman bamboo curtains.
Alcove
They harmonize well with the surrounding landscape and give a special flavor. Such curtains go well with wooden gazebos, do not let the sun's rays through and look very elegant.
Veranda
This durable, natural and environmentally friendly material will give your veranda a truly unique look.

Balcony
Curtains made of bamboo straw will become an interesting and bright detail on the balcony. The best option for this room is roller blinds.
Common sizes of bamboo curtains
Manufacturers offer a large range of sizes - it all depends on the windows and wishes. The most common canvas sizes are 60 x 160, 70 x 160 and 80 x 160 cm, where the first number is the width of the canvas and the second is the length. To find the size you need, measure your windows.
Bamboo roller blinds can be hung in two ways: on each glass next to each other or on the entire window. In the first case, it is worth measuring the width and length of the glass from edge to edge. You can hang a curtain on the glass, but not too tightly so that the curtain moves along the plastic frames. To do this, add 3-4 cm in width.
If you decide to hang a large bamboo curtain on your window, keep in mind that you will need to hang it on the wall above the window. You will have to close the entire opening, covering the walls 2-3 cm from the edges. Typically, such curtains are made to order. From ready-made options, you can choose two or three narrow curtains that will hang next to each other.
About sizes
Bamboo blinds are available in a wide range.
Manufacturers rely on the dimensions of standard windows when producing them. The width of the blinds can be from 50 to 180 cm , and the length - from 70 to 250 cm . The step between sizes is 10 cm . This approach allows you to find the best option for any window.
If you want to purchase bamboo blinds for a standard window or door, then you can order the product in specific sizes.
Before purchasing, be sure to take careful measurements on all sides, since not all windows have a standard shape. When placing the curtains inside the window, the width of the structure is chosen to be slightly narrower than the opening. If the canvas is attached to a wall or ceiling, then, on the contrary, choose a larger width. The size of the bracket on which the blinds are hung is also measured.
Subtleties of choice
The main criterion when choosing roller blinds is the frequency of weaving. However, curtains, regardless of what material they are made of, must protect from light and ensure a comfortable stay in the room.
Tightly woven curtains provide reliable protection from the sun.
Bamboo allows you to fill a room with soft diffused light, protect it from heat and even provide the necessary level of air exchange in the room. The canvases can always be left open.
Curtains can also be kept closed.
Another aspect that deserves attention is the mounting system. Bamboo sheets can be mounted on a window or ceiling.
An important point: if you decide to attach curtains to the wall above the window, then the distance from the top of the window to the ceiling should be at least 20 cm.
In the store you need to find out what is included in the curtain kit.
Advice. When choosing a color, keep in mind that manufacturers offer shades that are as close to natural as possible - coffee, cherry, mahogany. And if you wish, you can make these curtains a little brighter. Also today you can buy roller blinds made of bamboo or straw, with the addition of other materials. The canvases turn out to be unusually bright and creative.
Bamboo roller blinds and Roman blinds are slightly different: the former are wound on a special roller during the folding process, while the latter are gathered in soft, voluminous folds. They practically do not differ in the degree of sun protection and appearance, so just choose the model that suits you best.
Roman blinds differ from roller blinds in their design.
Today, manufacturers offer a sufficient range of bamboo blinds. The most common sizes are: 60x160, 70x160, 80x160, where the first number indicates the width of the window, and the second the length of the canvas. Before you go to the store and get acquainted with the assortment, take accurate measurements.
Variety of colors and shades
Nowadays, many people install blinds on their windows to protect them from the sun. Their range on the modern market is extremely diverse; a wide variety of materials are used to create curtains. For those who, in conditions of general environmental pollution, try to surround themselves and their family with natural materials that are safe for health, manufacturers offer bamboo blinds as a replacement for plastic and synthetic fabrics.
The color of the blinds largely depends on what part of the bamboo the plate was made from. Models in light brown, greenish and golden shades are produced from the outer part of the trunk. White-beige lamellas with small inclusions are made from the inside of the plant.
Options with patterns look beautiful, original and bright. Depending on the room, you can choose a very interesting print. The products can be decorated with fruits to decorate the kitchen or with floral patterns that will fit perfectly into the interior of the living room or bedroom.
Blinds with patterns in pastel colors look gentle and elegant. For example, beige blinds decorated with delicate dandelions will add freshness and comfort to the design.
Characteristics of bamboo
Bamboo is a versatile material from which you can make many different products for window decoration. Bamboo stems are used to make pulp, which in turn is used to make shutters and curtains. For example, in addition to classic straight curtains, you can find Roman-style roller blinds, horizontal, vertical or muslin curtains made from bamboo canes. They all have their advantages and disadvantages.
The technique for making such curtains is not easy, but very beautiful. Bamboo straws are divided into thin strands, and the wood is also selected, sanded and pressed. From this material, canvases are woven on looms or by hand, which are then attached to the windows. The color range is not large, like all other natural materials. Of course, such curtains can be bleached or dyed, but you should not expect bright and colorful shades.
The latest word in curtain decor is to weave multi-colored threads directly into the fabric, drawing a pattern directly on the canvas. Factory-made products differ from homemade ones in that they are impregnated with special liquids that repel dust and dirt, which prevents excessive dirt deposition on the fabric. They increase durability and greatly simplify maintenance.

You need to wipe the blinds from time to time with a slightly damp sponge. Cleaning with a washing vacuum cleaner with a suitable attachment is allowed.
It is not advisable to moisten bamboo products too much. It may crack or change shape.
It is better not to use aggressive chemicals with bamboo.
The cord of horizontal products sometimes wears out. This is easy to fix - you need to pull out the old lace and thread a new one. Vertical curtains sometimes have threads that break. It is also easy to eliminate.
How to hang bamboo roller blinds
Attaching a bamboo roller blind is not difficult, you just need to check all the accessories for installation. If they are not included with the curtains, they must be purchased separately. If you decide to install roller blinds on a wall above a window or on a wooden frame, make sure you have a drill or screwdriver handy. To install blinds on a plastic frame, use double-sided tape or special removable clips.
If there are several sashes on the window, you should install a separate roller shutter on each of them
You need to start installing roller blinds by marking the mounting location. To do this, attach the product to the frame or wall, making sure that the sides of the canvas are at the same level. For more accurate marks, use a ruler or tape measure.
Drill holes where you want, insert fasteners, and hang your bamboo roller blind. When attaching without drilling for double-sided tape, you must first degrease the surface of the plastic frame, then glue the tape, remove the protective layer and hang the product.
Double-sided tape may not hold up a heavy bamboo curtain, so it's best to use brackets.
After installing the blinds, check that the blind lifting mechanism is working correctly.

Bamboo roller blinds will serve as a wonderful decoration for your windows, especially if they are chosen correctly and combined with additional blinds.
How to properly care for bamboo curtains
Although bamboo curtains are moisture-resistant, do not accumulate dust and do not fade in the sun, this does not mean that they do not need to be taken care of. To maintain their presentable appearance, cleaning must be regular and, most importantly, correct.
With proper care, bamboo curtains will retain their original appearance for a long time and decorate your home.
For bamboo roller blinds, choose cleaning with a special cloth or brush, this will help get rid of the smallest dirt. For more intensive cleaning, you can use a damp cloth. Excess moisture can damage even the most moisture-resistant material.
It is worth considering the fact that bamboo does not like chemical detergents, so their use must be avoided, otherwise there is a risk that the color of the planks, as well as their shape, may change.
Caring for such curtains is not at all difficult if you remember some basic rules and carefully monitor the condition of the panels, lifting mechanism, curtain rod, and laces. Follow these simple rules, and your curtains will last for many years.
Selection for wooden furniture
An excellent choice would be to hang a Roman blind made of bamboo on a balcony or loggia. Such curtains look good in combination with the loggia frame, even if it is covered with plastic lining. Dust from the street, and its appearance is inevitable, likes to settle on balcony curtains. You will have to wash fabric curtains, but bamboo just needs to be wiped with a damp cloth. And the interior of the room will only benefit from the presence of bamboo blinds, especially if you are planning to turn the balcony into a cozy relaxation area.
When choosing where to place them, it is worth considering the fact that roller blinds were originally conceived as a secondary element. They have a discreet design and laconic dimensions; moreover, not all bamboo blinds provide 100% shading.
If we talk about straw samples, then the shading here is 50-70 percent - some of the light will pass through the curtain in the daytime. This does not apply to all models, there are also expensive samples with a black-out fabric lining that provides complete shading, but such nuances should be clearly distinguished.
Having examined the properties of such curtains, let’s pay attention to another serious point - the price. It is important to understand that the main cost item in the blinds we are considering is their material, bamboo. It is because of this that bamboo Roman blinds, roller curtains and any other samples made of exotic wood will cost a little more than their plastic counterparts.
The price for bamboo blinds is 30-50 dollars per square meter . Whether you buy bamboo slat or straw bamboo roller blinds has an impact here. As we have already noted, the second option will cost more.
