White fabric Roman shades are not a thing of the past. Even with all the new

window treatment designs coming out, these white shades can still make your house look pristine and inviting.

There are so many ways to spice up the look of these shutters and further enhance their beauty.

You can have them custom made to suit your preferences and you can also choose any weight fabric you want. You can mount them either at the front of your window or within the window casing. You can choose to use a basic blind-type mounting or a decorative curtain rod. Just be sure to correctly measure the curtain drop as well as the angular degree.

In addition, you can incorporate other types of decors into your Roman shades, such as dried flowers and vines, decorative frames, valances, and draperies among others.

These fabric Roman shades don’t have to be expensive. If you’re good with the sewing machine, you can even make your own and have it as your home improvement project. Some discount stores have a stock of pre-made shades in various materials and colors. You can use these to make your work much easier. However, if price is not a concern to you and you’re serious about quality, then you can have your white Roman shades custom made by a reputable manufacturer where you can use your selected white fabric and have your shades installed by professionals.

Tips for Making Your Fabric Roman Shades More Lively

With some creativity, your shades don’t have to be limited to its light filtering purpose but can also serve as decorations that add beauty to your home. Here are some things that you can do:

• Use white damask for a traditional room. This is a popular fabric Roman shades use. You can choose fabric with a floral motif or vertical stripes. Use burlap or linen for a more modern room. However, if you’re going for a more elegant look then you may want to use silk moiré or raw silk. Bamboo roman shades are also good if you want to go green and have the natural look.
• Some of the ways you can trim the fabric are either by adding fringes or ribbons in the same color or in another room color. You can also make it more interesting by adding a contrasting or matching valance in a V or scallop silhouette.
• If you choose to use curtain rods then be careful in choosing the hardware. Also make sure that you leave enough clearance for when you pull the shades up.
• You can easily turn these window covers into insulated roman shades or blackout shades by lining them.
• You can mount two roman shades on top of each other. They can be raised and lowered with their own mechanisms, as they each come with their own cords. If you decide to do this then have the sheer shade on the side closest to the window and the heavier shade on the side closest to the room. This type of window treatment enables you to control the amount of light you want to allow into the room, as well as the amount of privacy and insulation you need.
• If you want your shades to look good even when the shades are in the down position then you might try for the hobbled look where excess fabric is tied up in a specific way to create soft fold fullness.

Roman shades come in a variety of types, each with its own feature, design and style. Some of these products are the wood shades, woven wood shades, sheer shades, roller shades, pleated shades, faux wood shades, and others. If you want shades you can use all year round then look at Green Mountain Vista’s collection of roman shades.
