A Natural Alternative To Woven Wood Shades

What if you’d like to dress up your windows in natural materials, you’re stuck on woven wood shades, but this one problem keeps you undecided?

What’s the “little” problem about?

Say, you have a few windows, and you are considering going with an inside-mount woven wood shades.
BUT, you just can’t get over the view taken away by the gathered shade material when you pull the shades up.

Going with woven wood shades is fine.
The extra you need to add is the top down – bottom up feature.
