Many people preferring adorning their windows with Roman shades instead of the normal curtains.This is because they are not only unobtrusive, but also provide protection from the glaring sun and the eyes of inquisitive neighbors.In terms of popularity, bamboo Roman shades takes the cake; however there are still many people who prefer the more traditional fabric Roman shades.

Fabric Roman shades are basically single paneled shades, and as the name suggests, are obviously made from fabric.You find a cord along the length of the fabric that raises the shade in symmetrically spaced panels when pulled.

It is because these shades are made from fabric that they filter light, and create a warm and soothing atmosphere in the room.These shades are best for use in a children’s room.Just make sure you choose shades with a bright and playful color.This ensures that the shades help in livening the atmosphere of the room, and if required, can be conveniently pulled down during your kids nap.

It is however better to choose shades of a neutral color or pattern if you want to use these shades in other rooms.The other d©cor of the room will thus not get dampened by the shades.

Along with these neutral colored Roman shades, add some elaborate curtains to make your windows look more lavish.Give a more complete look to the shades by adding a shade at its top, made from a board covered with the same fabric as the shade.

Vacuuming the shades is all you have to do for its maintenance.This helps prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt on the fabric folds.You could use some foam upholstery cleaner to get rid of any stains on the shades.In case of the stubborn stains you usually find in the children’s room’s shades, treat the Roman fabric window blinds static or stain resistant finish.
