Double Roman Shades Offer Great Value

The double Roman shade design was one of the most wonderful designs that has been introduced in window treatments. These Roman shades are one of the most requested shades on the market. If you do not know what double Roman shades are, this design is the combination of two Roman shades in one. The remarkable thing about this shade is that it has only one pulley to control two sets of cords. You can raise or lower the damask shade, fully or partially, to reveal a sheer shade that lets in some sun and maintains your privacy, or you might want to raise or lower them both.

Damask is a fabric with a fine jacquard woven pattern that has a wonderful sheen on the raised surfaces and is reversible. This beautiful material in double Roman Shades would enhance a room in all aspects. The choices that are available are endless in window design. Some homeowners use the shades in their windows, while others prefer to have them in their doors.

The combination of many different colors in one shade can create such a beautiful design in a window. Double Roman shades can be used in the windows where you would like the outside facing the world to look the same as the inside. At the same time you can have a variety of colors inside to match a particular room. One big advantage is that there is only one set of hardware needed to mount the shade in place.

One popular type of double Roman shades is the Double Tuk design. This type of shade is constructed to give a soft tailored appearance. You space the grommets across the shade to create tucks and you can use any kind of fabric. Remember to have 1.75 times more length, but you get two tucks per panel, which adds more interest. This shade is a great compromise between the three Tuk styles -- not as formal as a Triple and not as understated as the Single.

Double Roman shades adapt well to any fabric due to the grommets. You need to purchase fabric that is at least two times the length of the window. This style of shade has a cascading look to it. It's best for smaller windows, since the cascading effect can be overbearing in a room and is a bit heavy to lift in larger sizes. It makes a great look for boys' rooms, libraries, bathrooms, and kitchens. Solids, damask, and striped fabrics work very well on this style of shade. Some fabric that has a lot of prints could be lost due to the cascading of the shade. The idea is to have shades that look like a curtain at your window, but at the same time provide you with the privacy that is so needed these days.

When deciding to have double Roman shades, you have a choice of either a manufactured shade, which is the most economical choice, used by consumers or to have custom shades made specifically for your application. The most flexible choice in designing a room would be custom, due to the fact that the double shades have two layers. The option of having color could impact the room you are changing. You can also avail yourself of the advice of the retailer to help with your decision making. Research the material available and take home samples to make sure that the color and design is the perfect match for you and your family.
