Is the Bengal shade room-darkening?

No. It is unlined, so it filters light and gives partial privacy rather than blocking light. For a darker room, add a liner or choose a lined shade.

Can I mount it inside or outside the window frame?

Both. The Bengal supports inside and outside mount, and the built-in valance covers the top either way.

Does the motorized version work with Alexa and Nest?

Yes. Motorized Bengal shades connect to home automation systems with Nest and Alexa support. Check that your hub or bridge is compatible before ordering.

What sizes can I order?

Widths go up to 96 inches and heights start at 12 inches. Every shade is made to your measurements, so measure the window carefully.

Is it safe around children?

Blindster states the shade meets all CPSC requirements. The motorized option also removes the need for a pull cord.

When is the best time to buy?

Custom shades rarely get deep discounts. The listed new price is $193.01 at Blindster.com as of November 7, 2026, and it is the only new price listed, so compare against sample or sale promotions before ordering.

Our take on the Blindster Bengal Silver Custom Bamboo Woven Wood Shades 22x58

The Bengal is a custom Roman shade woven from bamboo, wood, grasses, jute and cotton, with a built-in valance and a relaxed coastal look. It mounts inside or outside the window and can be ordered motorized for Nest and Alexa control. It is unlined, so it filters light rather than blocking it. At $193.01 at Blindster.com as of November 7, 2026, it is the only new price listed, so there is no recent range to compare against.
