How To Make Discount Roman Shades Look Expensive With A Little Imagination
Roman shades can provide a great window decoration for any style of decor and what better sway to save some money than to buy discount Roman shades and decorate them yourself for a unique and interesting look.
Roman shades hang inside the window casing and give it a clean and classic look that goes with almost any interior design. There are many different styles of the shade from the typical flat panel that has soft folds one raised to a more fancier style with overlapping folds which are visible when raised or lowered. They can come in any type of material and are quite popular in a bamboo or readed its style.
Custom Roman shades can be quite expensive but if you are on a budget you can purchase a discount Roman shades and embellish them with fabric, ribbons and fringes. In order to pull this off, you have to purchase a plain colored shade in one of the secondary colors of your rooms decor. Perhaps you would pick the same shade as your wall, rug or sofa or go with one of the colors in the patterns of some of the fabrics in your room.
Before you start decorating, you have to figure out how fancy you want your Roman shades to be. If your room is a frilly French chic style then you can go with lots of laces, beads and fringes but if your decor Is more country than you want to tone down the accessories that you use a bit.
Take a look around your room and figure out what colors and fabrics you want to pull into your discounted shade to give it a customized look. If you made your own pillows or other accessories for the room and you have some leftover fabric you might try cutting a 2 or 3 inch section of it in hot gluing this onto the bottom of the Roman Shade. This will help tie in all the fabrics in your room.
If you don’t want to use fabrics, perhaps you might be able to stencil onto the pre-bought Roman Shade. You can use fabric paints and stencils if your shade is made out of fabric and stencil a nice design into the middle of the Shade which will immediately relieve it of its boring look.
Another way to add some pizzazz to a boring discounted shade is to put some fringe on the bottom. You can buy different types of fringe at the fabric store including beaded fringe and silk fringe. If you also have curtains on your windows you can use the fringe in the bottom of the curtains or as a tie back to help pull the look together.
Ribbons are an easy way to add interest to Roman shades you can use them in layers on the very bottom of the shade and you can simply hot glue on just one wide ribbon at the bottom or a layer of 2, 3, 4 or more depending on your style or particular taste.
Decorating doesn’t have to be expensive and with a little bit of imagination you can give even discount Roman shades the unique look of custom designer shades that will be the envy of your neighborhood.
