Re: Shades or Curtains

I am about to have both...the roll up shades don't offer much privacy to me since I have to lower it ....so I am actually looking at some silk dupioni panels [img]/forums/images/graemlins/70365-flirt.gif[/img] none a dat swag fawt

but the silk is dry clean only [img]/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] so unless I get a darker color I am gonna spend an arm and a leg on dry cleaning...so I might just do heavy cotton panels slightly puddling on the floor of course [img]/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] but I do love the silk [img]/forums/images/graemlins/70394-bawlout.gif[/img]

I have Roman Shades. They are expensive, but well worth the money [img]/forums/images/graemlins/70409-waytogo.gif[/img]

Re: Shades or Curtains

I like blinds, the wider ones... wood, faux wood... they remind me of shutters, but more versatile.
Depending on your style, I have some windows with just blinds and some with both blinds and drapes.
