Some tips for choosing the fabric for your roman blinds and shades 

Fabric Weight – Fabric weight affects the functionality directly. Fabrics like silk and heavy cotton filters the light entering your room and provide privacy. They don’t crease and give a clean look. Fabrics like muslin are medium weight and offer enhanced privacy, they also offer excellent protection against sun damage. Heavy weight fabrics offer excellent light blocking but they can become expensive.

Fabric Design 

When you want your window coverings to add a fun element, choose a pattern. Small prints and horizontal stripes grab attention when the shades are closed but they may not look great when it is pulled up. Vertical stripes and large prints retain their beauty even when the shades are open or closed.
