Roman shades are an affordable alternative to draperies for your windows. Not only do they enhance the style and décor of any room, but they are also very durable. With draperies you will have to replace them after awhile because they will fade with exposure to the sun and fade out from repeated washings. This is something you don't have to worry about with Roman shades. You can choose the fabric for your shades to match your sofa or bedroom furnishings to have everything perfectly coordinated. There are many different styles you can choose if you decide to use Roman shades as you choice of window treatments. Some homeowners like to use the same style throughout the home while others like to give each room its own distinctive touch by changing the style in every room. For example, you might like to have flat style shades in the bedrooms and use the teardrop style for the living room or den. The flat style features a tailored look and when the shades are closed they appear to be one flat panel. The tear drop style features elegant folds that fold underneath one another when you open the shades. Roman shades use the same piece of fabric for the window covering that flows in an uninterrupted design. When you raise the shade the rail at the bottom is enclosed with the material as well, so no hardware shows through. The fabric does not sag and is well supported so that you always maintain the look of consistent pleats when raising or lowering the shades. Some of the benefits you will realize by using Roman shades include: Complete privacy The fabric will close off the window from the outside so that when the lights are on the room is not visible to anyone walking along the street. Dimming properties If you want the shades to dim the room during bright daylight, the sun will still shine through the fabric so that the room is not completely dark. Neutral exterior All the shades have a white exterior so that the sun will not fade out the color or pattern of the fabric. Flexible cord The cord for raising or lowering the shades usually comes in a four-way design. This allows you to pull in or out and you can have the cord lock on either side of the shade. Equalizer An equalizer in the hardware system keeps the cords aligned so that they don't get entangled and you can adjust them according to the length of the shade. You also have a choice in the head rail design for your Roman shades. You can have aluminum, which is sleek and smooth or a micro-groove design. Whichever design you choose, the head rail will not overpower the fabric and will be unobtrusive, so that it is not the first thing you notice. The distinctive folding feature of these shades will add a dimension to any room of your home. It doesn't matter whether you have brand new home or one that is centuries old – Roman shades can work perfectly for your windows. Copyright © RomanShades.NET, All Rights Reserved.
