Full length drapery is an elegant choice of window fitting for certain types of rooms and spaces. However, it is important to remember that it isn’t necessarily the best option for every room. If you want a more streamlined look, roman blinds and shades that stack neatly when retracted to the top of the window is a better choice. They are less fussy and offer a more updated look to your space, especially when the area isn’t that sizeable. Here are fresh ideas to help you make your interlined roman blind installation more interesting and practical:

  • When planning to install custom roman shades, your choice of fabric is among the most critical decisions you will have to make. the material will set not just the pattern and color of your finished installation, but the texture and translucency of the resulting shade. Your material choice should also take into account how easily the entire blinds arrangement will operate and how well the covering will stack when retracted. Light to medium weight materials make perfect choices for roman shades and it is best to avoid heavily embellished and rigid fabrics. The heavier and thicker the fabric is, the harder it will be to achieve nicely folded blinds that stack neatly on top of another.
  • You can generally choose to install a relaxed or a constructed roman shade. Relaxed roman blinds allow the fabric covering to sag gently and naturally under its own weight. Constructed roman blinds on the other hand, usually have sewn-in supports like horizontal rods, battens, or dowels, which create a more rigid structure.
  • Sewing on a secondary fabric lining to the back of your face material is also one way to add shade to your roman blinds. This will not only give your window covering a more finished and luxurious look, but also provide an extra layer of shade, especially for windows that receive the most light. Lining material range from light and translucent cotton fabrics to blackout lining, which completely eliminates sunlight. Lining also helps hide lift strings for a cleaner look.
  • The type of control to install is also a major consideration when choosing roman blinds for your window covering. There are different types of controls you can ask your supplier about, ranging from a continuous look system to cord and clean, and integrated electric motors. Motorized shades are common in modern installations and they offer the greatest convenience as the blinds can be lifted at a single press of a button.
