Roman
shades are cellular
shades that work differently than many shades. Much of the time they
are made from fabric, causing them to be easily bunch as you pull them
up. Roman window shades come up in stages; you can stop them at different
places over the window. However, Roman shades look neat and elegant,
rather than cluttered and blowsy, as they are pulled up. Many people
prefer this type of shade to mini blinds because Roman window shades
look so much more attractive, while at the same time allowing for better
light control than regular curtains. Additionally, they can be very
easy to care for. The shades made from washable fabrics can be cleaned
in the washing machine (you have to remove the wooden parts first),
as opposed to dusting mini blinds.
Choosing Roman window shades as your cellular shades
One of the greatest
advantages of Roman window shades is their ability for almost endless
customisation. Most shade dealers, like Hunter Douglas, allow you
to choose from a wide selection of fabric types or bamboo, colours and designs.
Additionally, it is possible to have these shades embroidered for
an even more personal and ornate touch to one’s
window coverings. Also, it is possible to control light and
glare. While not as easy to do this with cellular shades as with
mini blinds, a good degree of control over the light and glare
entering the room can be achieved.
Personalization can be quite expensive, however, as can certain
fabrics. For those on a smaller budget, and everyone can afford
Hunter Douglas, it is possible to enjoy the elegance of the Roman
style shade. This is because they can be made from less expensive
fabrics. Additionally, it is possible to make your own shades. There
are Web sites like the HGTV Web site that can show you, step by step,
how to build your own roman window shades. With a little creativity,
it is possible to make your own elegant window coverings.
No matter what type of window covering you choose for your windows,
can add versatile elegance to your home with roman shades.
