Compared to cloth material shades, bamboo roman shades present a more exotic and naturally beautiful look. The woody warmth of natural bamboo coupled with the elegant style of roman shades will suit just about any room and any personal taste. Roman Bamboo shades provide an earthy ambiance that you can use to subtly frame your window. Another great design idea is to put them on glass doors that lead to a screened-in porch, deck or sunroom, thus giving you a completely natural divider between the interior and exterior of your home.
When installing roman bamboo shades on windows, you may choose to mount them either inside, or outside of the recessed window frame. If you choose to install the blind inside the recess, be sure to order a shade with a slightly smaller width than the window you’re putting it into. Give yourself about a quarter of an inch of space on each side. This is to ensure that the edges of the blind do not rub against the inside of the window frame. Shades that will be mounted on the outside of the recess don’t have to be as accurate. It’s a matter of personal preference how much of the shade overlaps the frame. Two inches of overlap may be a good starting point. Depending on the size and quality you select, the price varies from $25 to $800. Widths vary from 8 inches to 96 inches and heights vary from 8 inches to 120 inches.
Window treatments can have a huge impact on the overall appeal of a home by creating a more relaxing, comforting environment. While fabric roman blinds always seem to be in style and provide a great deal of privacy, they can also leave you feeling closed-in because they block so much light. Roman bamboo shades, on the other hand, allow light from outdoors to filter into the room helping to relieve some of that claustrophobic feeling.
