When you go shopping for your shades, be sure to buy one that is a solid color and one which matches the colors of the room you are decorating. You might get shades that of the color of your wall or the color of your rug or maybe even ones that have a color that matches the fabrics in your room.

Once you have a shades, you’ll need to decide how you want to decorate them.

Here are some things you can do to dress up your plain Roman shades: Stencil - Try using fabric paint and a stencil to settle some sort of the design of the middle the shade. Anything too fancy might be difficult but something like a large fleur-de-lis or a flower could look nice. Lace - For bedrooms or other frilly rooms, adding some lace to the bottom of the shade can give it a nice romantic look. Be sure to buy lace that is jagged on the bottom and hot glued onto your shade so that the bottom of the lace hangs below the shade to set off the fancy contours. Fringe - you can embellish your Roman shades by hot gluing some fringe right onto the bottom. This can be soaked French for sophisticated look, or beaded fringe for the boudoir. Ribbons - you can buy ribbons in a variety of width at your local sewing center and so or glue them onto the bottom of your Roman Shade. You can do them in layers, glue them one on top of the other up the bottom of the shade, or just put a single swatch of ribbon to add a bit of interest.
