Cheap Room Make Over with new Roman Blinds

With the start of a new year, you may have decided to tackle some fresh projects around your home. Like many people, after the winter holidays, you may find yourself a little short on extra funds in your budget to do any extensive remodeling of rooms. However, you should not let that stop you from giving any room in your home a makeover, because it can be done inexpensively. One easy way to give a new look to any room is to change the window treatments there. Many homeowners like the look of Roman shades because they are an affordable option that can add some bright new color to your room.

Roman blinds are basically a length of fabric or other window blind material that utilizes a cable system like a slatted window blind, and it rises from the bottom up, forming horizontal folds out of the fabric of the Roman shades. Because they are made out of a single piece of blind material, they give a similar look as a drapery panel would in the room, but with the ease of use that comes when window blinds are installed.

Roman blinds come in a wide variety of different styles. When the blinds are lowered and the fabric folds lay flat, those are known as flat panel Roman shades. The blind material might also be constructed so that the soft cascading folds are created when the shade is lowered, and this type of shade is described as the tear drop or hobbled variety.

A particular benefit that comes from using Roman shades in the home is that they are excellent for blocking out light from a room. This can help you watch movies with better resolution, or as an aid to sleep, for a just a couple of ways blackout shades are useful in the home. However, Roman blinds also come in sheer, semi-sheer, semi-opaque as well as blackout fabric styles, so that you can achieve the lighting effects that you desire in any room of the home.

Roman blinds come in a multitude of colors and fabric styles. Because the shades are in one piece, they read as a bright spot of color on your wall, which is beneficial if you are looking to add a color contrast to a tall wall to break it up, or if you select a blind in the same shade as the wall, it can help to lengthen the height of the wall and visually expand your space.

Cost-effective options for Roman shades are available. With prices starting around eighty-five dollars a panel, you can switch the look of any room while sticking to your budget.
