Incorporating Hunter Douglas Roman Shades into Your Home
Roman shades have been around for centuries because of their ease of use, versatility and good looks. They accentuate and frame your windows in the way a piece of art accentuates your walls. Roman blinds are easily customized and fit well in classic and contemporary decor. If you’re unsure about how to incorporate Roman shades into your home, keep reading!
Which Rooms Do They Look Best In?
The short answer? All of them! The wide variety of fabrics and patterns means a Roman shade can be made for every room. That being said, you will want to avoid traditional fabrics in rooms like kitchens and bathrooms. Humidity can cause dust and mold to accumulate on classic fabrics, and window coverings in kitchens will absorb odors, grease and smoke, so you will want something that can be cleaned often.
Fabrics like silk and taffeta prominently display moisture damage. For kitchens and baths, choose 100% cotton or cotton blends as they are easily cleaned. Another trick to cover damage is to use fabric with bold prints and patterns.
Choosing Fabric & Liner
Just as UV rays can damage furnishings and artwork, it can also damage your window coverings. Your Roman shades may look perfect from inside, but from the outside they can look faded and patchy. A quality liner supports the structure of your shade, and it also serves as a filter between sunlight and the fabric. Colored liners will fade and look striped from outside, while blackout liners will not fade and provide the most insulation.
Light and medium-weight fabrics will give you sharp, crisp folds while heavier fabrics, like pure wool, will give your large, neat folds. Thicker fabrics also provide you with some insulation.
Styles
Flat and hobbled are the most common styles. A flat fold gives you a smaller pleat while hobbled gives you a large, flowing number of pleats. You can also get a classic style which stays flat when lowered, or you can get a European style that forms a gentle draping U shape at the bottom.
Colors
When deciding on colors for your shades, tones that contrast with your existing decor is one of the easiest ways to choose colors that will blend well. Opt for a light or medium-weight fabric with decorative tape accents in heavier-weight fabrics. You will have a shade that looks lovely and is not too heavy.
Shades are a great way to add color to an otherwise monochromatic room, like a bathroom. Most baths have a single color for tile throughout, which can create an unsettling look. Use Roman shades to add a fun burst of color and break up the room.
