Day 7: Window Treatments: Roman Shades

Day 7 of 365 Days of a Happy Home! Are your windows naked? Are they in need of some covering up? Roman shades are a great option. They can be dressed up or they can look beautiful in their simplicity. Check out these ideas. Would you use them instead of drapes?

These are just a few of the options for window shades. I must say that some are rather dated! I haven’t used the “gathered balloon” style in about a decade! My go to styles are the “plain”, “relaxed” and “banded”.

The decorative fabric in these outside mount roman shades brings the blues in the room together.

The 3 simple roman shades look like one. We’ve added a decorative on the bottom for a bit of interest.

In this room we have combined roman shades with drapery panels.

This window seat with its amazing view is accented subtly by the linen shades with trim.

I saw this fun roman shade made from a grain sack on Etsy. The Casa Rustica has a lot more options. Check them out!

Another option I found on Etsy. This one has trim and is from FabriHome and is customizable. Make sure to read the reviews of vendors before buying! This one has over 400 5 star reviews!

Trim on linen.
