Cellular
shades are
different from any other shades. Cellular window shades have their
own look, and Bali cellular shades can add a very elegant touch to
your home. This type of shade is also available from Hunter Douglas
and American Blinds. Many department stores also offer them. If you
are looking for a window covering that looks different from others
on your block, but still looks elegant, you might consider cellular
shades.
Cellular window shades
The defining feature of cellular window shades is the fact that
they come up in sections (cells). Rather than rolling up, or being
pulled up all at once, Bali cellular shades raise one section at
a time. A string is used to pull the shade up in stages. A bunched
look results, but it is not unattractive. It is really more of a
gathering effect that can look quite nice. This sort of shade looks
especially nice in solid colours complementing wood furniture.
Solid colours are not the only options for cellular blinds, however.
It is possible to get them in prints, and shades with small prints
can also look quite attractive. It is also possible to have them
made from materials that are more luxurious than cotton. Silk and
velvet are also possibilities. Of course, such fabrics require more
care and specialized maintenance. They can also cost quite a bit
more than shades made from other materials.
If buying from Bali, Hunter Douglas or American Blinds seems too
spendy for your budget, many department stores and home improvement
stores offer cellular window shades as well. They can also be found
in abundance on the Internet. There are some second hand stores that
stock them, but it is difficult to find this type of shade in a second
hand store. Web sites like that maintained by Home and Garden TV
actually show you how you can make your own shades. This can be immensely
helpful if you are on a tight budget.
Shop around, and determine if the unique elegance of cellular window
shades fits with your home. If so, you can find something to fit
in your budget, even with cellular shades.
