How to make Roman Blinds – Roman Shades

There are different types of Roman blinds, namely common flat, balloon shades, lined shades, hobbled shades, relaxed shades, and butterfly style. Whatever the type is, they all practically deliver the same way. Tiny plastic rings are fastened at the back of a fabric, and cords go through those rings. When the cords are drawn up, the blind moves up, then it falls in pleats or folds and they add glamour to your home.

Kids Playroom Ideas Using a Cornice Box | Window Treatment Ideas

One better way to expose the kids into tiny bits of chores is to have them help in building their room. First of all, it is theirs so it is but their job to maintain it. Second, they will be spending most of their time inside that room which is why it should be a place that they are really comfortable with.

Q&A: What kind of window treatments can I do for really tiny windows?

Question by .: What kind of window treatments can I do for really tiny windows?
The windows are in my bathroom on the largest shower wall so a curtain is a must. The windows are not flush with the walls, there’s about a 7″ box/legde. They are 14W” x 36L”. I was going to make some roman shades but I need them to be washable, usually they call for dowels and other wood. Also I have no way of putting hardware in because I’ll be going into the window frame itself.

Here’s what they look like:

Close up of the top…the only wood is the ceiling part and the sides:

What can I do? I’d rather make my own instead of buying. (I’m a seamstress so this is definitely do-able)
Yeah, we have a bit of a strange layout for our apartment.

An hour glass shape on each window or 1/2 a swag on each pane, a panel hanging on the wall in the middle would give the illusion of a bigger window. Use 1 rod for this.

I think your best bet wood be a stick on-not the frosted glass but kind of stained glass effect, not covering the whole pane. The punch of colour will look fantastic against those white tiles and there is minimal maintenance, cleaning and mildew.

Make sure your linens and accessories pick up/contrast the colour in the pattern.
