It is difficult for people to choose the proper coverings for their windows and there are so many different options, Roman shades are widely used. This is because Roman shades are classic window treatments that are simple, elegant, and versatile. They are made from a single fabric panel and can fit in any style of room. When raised, the fabric folds in large pleats of evenly spaced panels.

Most Roman shades are made of fabric, but bamboo Roman shades can make a statement as well in a well thought out room. Many homeowners find Roman shades to be perfect because they add a pleasing touch to the room without being overbearing to the eyes.

Custom made Roman shades are more expensive than stock shades, but this is because stock shades are made in a factory, usually overseas, to a standard size made from a standard, inexpensive fabric.

If you want to revitalize your home and get value for your dollar spent, custom made Roman shades provide style, value and design. By getting your roman shades custom made, the designer may introduce you to fabrics or colors that you would never have thought of on your own, therefore enabling you to change your windows into a dramatic statement of your personal style. Moreover, good quality shades are durable and will generally last longer as compared to shades manufactured with low quality material or overseas.

Shades provide you the best solution to control sunlight as well as protect precious things in the room and Roman shades are some of the most stylish and classy shades available.

You have many beautiful windows in your home and you want to decorate them all without detracting from the window, the view, and without blocking the light. A window valance can provide just the right look. You can change the entire atmosphere of a room by using curtain panels and valances to add a bit of glamour. There are many types of valences available which can be used as stand-alone decorations or combined with curtains or shutters to create a unique and stylish look. High quality sewn valances are a very classy and stylish.

Traditional formal valences are made of rich tapestries that often have thick fringing while modern designs are more informal and are lighter, made from a fabric like cotton or linen. Add a valance to your window and you create an elegant look.

Valance placement is as important to the look of your window as the style of the valence. Depending on how you choose to have the valence hung, you can even create a different looking window. If you want to lengthen your windows you can have the valance hung so that the bottom just covers the top of the window, thus creating the illusion of a longer window. To shorten long windows, or to accentuate the décor in a room with two story windows, the valance can be placed lower down and made longer to hide some of the glass. You can even add valences to sliding doors and patio doors. By hanging a curtain panel on a regular door and adding a valence, you have changed the entire look of that wall.

At Window Treatment Showplace, we offer design specialists, beautiful fabrics, and a state-of-the-art workroom where we custom make your valences with only you and your home in mind. Your satisfaction is our number one goal. Visit us today and see what makes us different from the big box stores.
