Get the Right Roman Shade Fabric
Roman shade fabric is the most important detail that there is in deciding when ordering or making your own Roman shades.
Not only will it make your window reflect the atmosphere that you have created in a room, but it will also determine the
price you are quoted when you are ordering custom Roman shades. In order to get the right fabric for the shades in each
room, you have to put some thought into the purpose you want the shade to serve. Some Roman shades fabric will not serve
in all rooms of the house, especially at a kitchen sink area where there a chance of water or dirt coming in contact with
the material. This only gives you the extra chore of cleaning it quite often.
There is an unlimited choice in finding the perfect Roman shades fabric that will enhance your window. When choosing a
fabric for Roman Shades, it is important to follow the theme or design of that particular room where the shade will go.
If it is for privacy that you are looking for when choosing a Roman shade, a heavy fabric would be recommended with a
lining. But if you are only looking for style in window design, the choice of fabric can be unlimited.
There are a variety of Roman shades fabrics to consider when making the decision in ordering shade. Here are examples of
fabric that are available:
- Microfiber
This fabric is light blocking and is made from polyester.
- Crushed Fabric
This fabric is light filtering, it can provide privacy but at the same time it will allow outside light to penetrate
through. It is made of 100% polyester.
- Crushed Satin Roman Shade

- Micro Suede Roman Shade

- Colburn Roman Shades

polyester. It has an acrylic foam backing for insulating value.
- Toile Roman Shades

a colorful print. It is usually made from 100% cotton.
Remember when ordering Roman shade fabric that if the fabric has light filtering, it has shade that allows light in while
the product is fully lowered. The more opaque a fabric is the less light will be filtered into the room. Determine where
the shade is being hung and think about how much sunlight will be needed to come through the fabric and it will help you
decide on what kind and color of fabric.
When you visit a retail store to get the Roman shade fabric you need, the salesperson will be able to help you choose the
right kind. Online retailers usually have a catalog of the proper fabrics that you need for different purposes.
