Is the Bengal shade good at blocking light?

No. It is unlined, so it filters light and gives a breezy look rather than room-darkening. For a bedroom, pair it with a liner or a blackout curtain.

Can I get full privacy with these shades?

Only partly. The open weave is fairly private by day, but at night with interior lights on, shapes can be visible from outside.

Does it come motorized?

A motorized version is offered that connects to home automation and works with Nest and Alexa. The $170.81 price at Blindster.com as of November 7, 2026 is for the standard shade, and motorization costs extra.

What sizes can I order?

Widths run from 12 to 96 inches, and the minimum height is 12 inches. Each shade is made to your measurement, so measure the window opening carefully before ordering.

Can I return a custom shade?

Custom-cut shades are generally not returnable once produced. Check the measurement guide and confirm the mount type before you order.

Inside or outside mount?

Both are supported. Inside mount gives a cleaner look when the window is deep enough; outside mount covers the trim and hides gaps, which helps with light control.

Our take on the Blindster Bengal Silver Custom Bamboo Woven Wood Shades 22x36

The Blindster Bengal is a custom Roman shade woven from bamboo, wood, jute, cotton and grasses, with a built-in valance and a relaxed coastal look. It mounts inside or outside the window and is made to order in widths from 12 to 96 inches. Unlined, it filters light rather than blocking it, so expect a soft glow and varying privacy. The best new price is $170.81 at Blindster.com as of November 7, 2026, and only one store lists it new, so there is no cheaper alternative to compare against.
