Roman shades for your window

The interior of the house speaks   volumes about the owners’ personality. Hence we often end up spending a great   deal of money on the interior decorations. By the time we are done with the   furniture and other accessories, we have drained out all our money and start   facing severe budget constraints, which leaves us with little options to   explore for the blinds. A very good substitute to blinds or curtains are   roman shades.

Roman shades are nothing   but a piece of fabric installed at the top of your window. The fabric is   pleated such that it folds up in intervals when the string is pulled. It can   be made at home, however, that might require a bit of mathematical exercise,   expertise in sewing, correct measurement, and some basic tools to carry out   the project. It uses less fabric than any of its counterpart and hence is a   cheaper alternative. Roman shades beat an ordinary looking plastic shade any   day.

They come in a variety of   styles such as a typical shade will have overlapping folds where as a flat   shade won’t have any folds when the string is pulled down. A double shade   will have extra fabric underneath to soften the bright sunlight pouring in.   Insulated shades have the fabric containing insulating properties. The fabric   used for these shades makes them stand out.

You can further beautify   the shades by adorning them with wall hangings, paper work etc. you can also   try to frame the shades. Roman shades are available in a wide range of   designs and patterns online. You can also ask your interior designer to make a   customised one for you.
