If your windows are left the way they are, they would fail to have the desired effect on your room décor. In order to give your drawing room that exotic look, you would need to add shades to your ordinary windows. Roman window shades are just what you need to add that missing spice to your room and they can be had in various shapes and sizes. The shades can either be used alone or they can be added to your curtains, balances, curtains or drapes.

The mechanism of roman windows is fairly simple and all you need is a tension rod to hang them on the insides. The shades are made to slide inside your windows and hence they are simply perfect to save your room from the burning sun. All you need to do is place the rod just on top of the window so that your glass is fully covered.

Roman shades are available in a variety of fabrics. They can be sought in bamboo and they can also be had in cotton or polyester. If you find the shades a bit too expensive, you can try to make them at home. For that, all you need to do is visit a local store and examine the shades with care. You would notice that each shade consists of two to three pockets and these pockets are layered with a stiff board.

If you find the art of sewing a bit too tedious, you might want to try and experiment in terms of purchasing a plain shade from a local shop and adding the required frills, fringe, ribbons and other designs with the aid of a hot glue gun. Over here, you need to use your creativity and allow your imagination to do the rest. The end result would be a fabulous roman shade.
