Roman Shades - Custom of Luxury

If Roman shades can be purchased at your local department store, why would you spend more to buy custom-made Roman shades?  The answer is in the added value that consumers receive when they have their Roman shades especially made for them.

Custom window treatments are measured, cut and sewn to precisely fit on your window.  Not on your neighbor's window, not on your mother's window, but on your window. That makes a big difference in how they look; it's also better for insulation against hot and cold weather, and for locking out drafts that tend to leak in around the sides of windows.  After you've shopped around and found the best source for your Roman shades, it'll soon be time to place your custom order. When placing your order for custom-made Roman shades, the salesperson will ask whether you want the pull cord on the left or the right.  Although this may seem like a small detail, it is just an example of the attention to detail that is a value-added benefit to having your Roman shades made especially for you.  Having a pull cord on the left or the right can make a difference in tight spaces or where you don't want to have to reach over a large couch every time you open the window shades.  And it goes without saying that a left-handed person may be pleasantly surprised at even being asked this question at all.

When shopping for custom-made Roman Shades, it is best to find a store near you who will guarantee their measurements.  The store will send a person to your home to do a complete and precise measurement of your windows.  You'll never have to worry whether the shades will fit. Remember, you're looking for a company that will guarantee this.

After your windows have been professionally measured, you'll be shown a wide assortment of fabrics and materials that the store can make your shades from.  It's a good idea to have a general idea in your mind of what you want your finished room to look like.  Don't just think about your windows.  Think about the furniture, the amount of light you want in the room, who uses this room the most, what the room is used for, how formal or casual you want the look of the room to be.

After you choose your fabrics, the cord, and the style of Roman Shade that you want, the salesperson will give you an estimated delivery date.  That's all there is to it!  Be sure to ask whether the price you are paying includes installation of the shades when they are done. If it does, the salesperson or a professional installer will return to your home and install the shades for you on an agreed-upon date.  

If you can afford it, you'll love splurging on custom-measured and custom-made Roman shades, curtains or blinds. You'll feel like you just scored a home makeover when you watch the professionals installing your shades.
