Bali Custom Made Pleated Shades

Filed under: Window Treatments, fabric, fabrics — Tags: — admin @ 8:00 am

Bali shades are famous for their wide variety of colors and on-trend fabrics. They are perfectly spaced and in the same time, they are guaranteed not to sag. Either you choose them in the crepe finish or in the Spectrum finish, Bali pleated shades are a guarantee of the comfort of your home.

Bali blinds customers can choose between three options: no liner, day liner and midnight liner, options which dictate the degree of darkness you can obtain for your room by using these window treatments. For improved light control and definite privacy, you can opt for Dayliner or Midnight privacy liners to any fabric. The Midnight liner completely blocks light, therefore you can even use your room as a cinema hall, if you wish. Both liners create a streamlined look on your home’s exterior with neutral to street side appearance.
The Bali custom made pleated shades are available with wood cornice options, which finish the look with a touch of elegance.

Why are custom window treatments so expensive?

For one, the number of individuals who sew professionally has diminished. Therefore, the waiting list as well as the value for such work has its corresponding time and cost.

On the other hand, most people are not aware of the time and experience each product needs. Sewing is not a quick process, and fabricators make an hourly wage just as much as the next guy. It is the amount of time as well as the rare skill that makes up the major cost of custom window treatments. Also, the fabrics really do set a custom window treatment apart.

Decorator fabrics start at about $20 per yard and can go into hundreds for top-of-the-line, exquisite custom window treatments. Custom window treatments have their prints positioned professionally in order to center them on sections or create repetitive patterns.

Silk Window Treatments

Of course, any article about silk window treatments needs to start with the most popular application: silk drapes, specifically dupioni silk. What is dupioni silk? Dupioni silk is a shimmering silk created by weaving silk threads of two different colors. That’s what gives it that shimmering effect but also adds to a slightly uneven texture. The silk itself is produced when two or more silkworms spin their cocoons close together. These slightly tangled cocoons produce filament that is rough and uneven. Dupioni silk is perfect for drapes because it resists wrinkles, has a dull sheen, holds a pleat and is totally reversible, meaning that either side of the drape can be visible.

Beyond drapes, you can find silk used in roman shades. Roman shades, which are sometimes called fabric shades, are often compared with drapes because they offer the look of curtains with the ease of use of a window shade. Roman shades come hobbled (folded) or flat but they all “fold-up” when opened. Roman shades can be purchased with optional liners, including blackout liners, room darkening liners and even thermal liners to add insulation to your window. If you want to add elegance, beautiful textures and rich natural colors, silk roman shades are an excellent choice.

It is easy to get a window treatment that will improve your windows, but to find a curtain which blocks sunlight is something special. Stopping the light at the windows brings a lot of advantages , but we shall talk about that in other paragraph.

When we are buying window treatments for our house, mostly they are transparent to a certain limit. Those curtain are also giving a light to enter, as well as allowing people to see inside. If we desire to completely block out incoming light with drapes and create ultimate privacy in your room, the favorable way to do this is by having blackout curtains. Usually they can stand on our window frames by their own, but they are very easily attached to the existing curtain by hanging them through the already present curtain rings. You can figure out plenty of other options by yourself, there aren’t any limits to what you can do with great ideas and good materials.

Interior Home Design Window Treatments

Curtains are a fast way to bring new life and color to any room, and now home decorators can create them more quickly and easily than ever. One clever example: simply clip an attractive tablecloth or tea towel onto a rod. Curtains and drapes will give you the more traditional window covering that you can combine with window shades and blinds.

Choosing a great window treatment idea can be a daunting task if you’re not sure where to start.

Measure each window separately and record the measurements on paper. Be sure to check all measurements twice before you purchase a new window treatment. Measuring and installation is available in the Brooklyn, NY area. Measure from the point you’ll hang the shade to the point where you want it to drop. Add an extra two inches to the top portion of the window frame to allow for mounting brackets.
