Window Treatment Project

Here are a few photo shots from my recent window treatment projects. It's always a challenge taking pictures when the sun is right at your eyes. Hope you can see them.














Before - White cotton fabric was very heavy and obstructs the window when open.














After - Panels that open on both sides are more functional and do not cover the window.
Red stripe with brown trim Grommet panels provide more updated look.

Before

After - Updated valance with coordinating fabric.



Before : no winodow coverings
After: Silk roman shades add elegances to the room.

Roman Shades


Did you know there are several types of Roman Shades?
Here are few examples.

Soft Fold Shade: Overlapping folds create a soft look with many versatile applications.




Casual Shade: Uses eyelets sewn directly through the shade, therefore the fabric pattern is not interrupted with stitched panels or grommets. It lies flat when down, with a soft, lightweight appearance. It's also available with clear, flat acrylic rods for a more structured look.






Back Slat Shade: Rod pockets are sewn in the back to create a more structured look. Rings are then attached to the back of the pocket and flexible rods are added to give the shade more weight so it folds neatly and crisply.






Balloon Shade: Inverted pleats and pouffed bottoms create a formal, elegant style. Available with either a pouffed or drapery bottom when down.



Tuk Shade: Sophisticated and versatile, Tuk shades adapt well to most fabrics, creating a soft, pleated appearance when down but folding up flat when raised.
