ertain types of window treatments like heavy drapes just don’t make sense in an area like Hawaii. Some popular island looks include woven wood blinds and shades that incorporate natural materials like grasses, bamboo and jute. In a roman shade, woven woods are perfect for island living because they offer a casual look that says “relax and stay awhile.”
Right now, green and eco-friendly building materials are very popular and California homebuilders are leading the way. Until recently, no one really considered “green” window treatments, but today’s designers are making it a big focus.
Whether you are fortunate enough to live in Hawaii all the time, or you have a vacation property there, creating a relaxing island retreat is the goal. Designers know that color is often the key to a restful room, and natural color palettes are a designer favorite.
