October 26, 2007, Newsletter Issue #47: Roller Shades: Functionality, Simplicity and Versatility

Tip of the Week

Lace roller shades are a simply elegant addition to any room’s décor. Pleasing to the eye, the natural light that permeates is used to create an instant feeling of hearth and home and is a wonderful choice in creating a unique theme using window treatments.

As an all time classic now thoroughly updated to include a variety of colors, patterns and fabric weights, roller shades are the first choice in creating that classic look with sleek lines for a room. While tradition always has its place, modern fabrics embossed in eye-catching designs, not to mention decorative hems and tassels, also give the opportunity to turn a room into a veritable masterpiece.

The capacity for choice abounds with these window shades thanks to their functionality, simplicity and versatility. While a sheer fabric (such as lace roller shades) can provide privacy without losing a room’s natural light, a heavier, room darkening shade can be beautifully matched to a room’s décor, giving a feeling of continuity and panache.

Curtains are optional with this type of window treatment, though a cassette headrail system placed at the top of the window over the roller shade will also give a nice finished look.
