Custom Roman Shades
Relaxed roman fabric shades are the picture of easy comfort, featuring a gentle, relaxed swag along the bottom hem. Narrow shades have a single swag; wider shades will have more.
Roman shades are a very classic window
treatment that are simple, beautiful, and often inexpensive while
coming in a variety of colors, patterns and materials. You may be
interested in how to make your own roman shades. Or perhaps you
have no sewing skills and want to have them custom made but need to
figure out what you want first.
The ones available in retail
stores come in standard sizes and a basic list of materials. They
fit standard window sizes. If you have an unusual window size
you’ll need a custom shade made for you, so don’t forget to get
good window measurements.
If you opt for the custom shades
they are made to order with your exact specifications. A factory
may still have a more limited number of material choices but you
could at least get the size and style you need. This is more
expensive. For the ultimate in uniqueness you could have a
seamstress make them for you or make your own roman shades
yourself. Those with sewing skills are at an
advantage in terms of cost and creativity. When you make your
own Roman shades, you select the fabric, the spacing, and the
style of Roman shade. The needed supplies, other than the
fabric, are very inexpensive. The price of the fabric
depends on the quality you select, but fabric stores carry
lots of inexpensive fabrics. Most people will consult with an interior
designer to be sure they style and material they are choosing
will work with the décor in the rest of the room. This is an
important consideration before spending money. You also want
to consider whether you need the custom made roman shades to
be light blocking and give a lot of privacy.
If you are unable to afford
the consultations of an interior decorator you can accomplish a
similar style match by going to the internet. Popular retailers
have lots of great photos for these shades in their natural setting
so you can see if the style you like will go with your room’s
colors or if there are better choices available. I personally love
a sight called getdecorating.com that has fabulous idea photos for
every room in your house. They are a subscription service that we
used when remodeling our home several years ago.
