Customizing Your Blinds

Whatever the design of your window is or the theme of your room, you can now have the blind that will
complement both your window and that of the theme of the room as well. Design against functionality
is no longer an issue as it can now be combined with roman blinds.

The origination of Roman blinds can be traced back during ancient Roman era in the Mediterranean
wherein the climate is very dry and warm. Homes, furnaces, food and clothing then get coated with
dust and dirt easily since the roads are unpaved. It is believed that the roman blinds helped repel dust
build-up from passing through the homes. Today, they still prove to be one of the most reliable window
treatments to serve this purpose.

Among the many different kinds of shades for your window, <a href="http://

either inside or outside your window and can easily adapt to the design of your window and that of the
whole room as well. But when do you need a custom roman blind? Below are some of the reasons to
have one.


Window design. Roman blinds can easily be fitted either on the inside or outside of the windowpane making it complement the design of the window itself. You can also create one with the exact measurements that you need. Room design. Since this kind of blind is made up of fabric, you can easily adapt its design to the theme and colour of the room. You can also mix and match different kinds and shades of material. You can easily create one from a minimalist look to a luxurious one and even to a retro or hippie theme.

Window orientation. This kind of blind can be easily customized  whether your window opens to the right or to the left. This will prevent having the controls hanging over the window opening.

Lighting control. Most other types of blinds block the light from the outside. Roman blinds, on
the other hand, can control the amount of light you want to enter the room. This is because there
are many different types of fabric that vary on the amount of light that can penetrate or absorb.
You can use a translucent fabric to maximize the light entering the room without compromising
your privacy or you can opt for a blackout fabric to totally deny the penetration of light.
