Recently at an installation for window treatments, my installer and I had a conversation about the current trends we are seeing in this economy. Simple draperies and installations are now becoming the norm, and we are now looking at ways to begin to dress a window in a way that we can add to it later down the road. Blinds are one of the first steps to covering a window, especially when privacy is an issue. If you are being conscious of your wallet, they are a great beginning to treating your windows but please don't stop at wood blinds, duettes or silhouettes. Think about bringing in color and pattern with Roman Shades. With small yardage requirements and lower workroom costs, they often run the same price as wood blinds.
Roman Shades give you the opportunity to dress up your windows, absorb sound and give you privacy while having the ability to really make a home fashion statement! The beauty is the ability of adding on sheers, stationary panels or top treatments later on to enhance the finished look or simply change it up a little.
Check out some of the creative ways to use Roman Shades below, notice the nice layering techniques!
