Blindsgalore® Designer Roman Shades: Blossoming Vine

Inside mount blinds will fit within the window casing for a clean, custom look.  Enter the actual size of your window casing, NOT the size of your old blind.  We will make the necessary deductions to make the blind fit properly.  Make sure your window meets the minimum inside mount specifications, or flush mount specifications if desired.

Outside mount blinds will be installed on the wall above the window, covering the window entirely.  Enter the size you want the finished product to be, including the desired overlap.  The ordered height will include the hardware for blinds and shades.  This option is required if your window is not deep enough to install the blind as an inside mount.

A continuous cord loop and clutch assembly that provides the mechanical advantage needed to raise large shades.  Cord tensioner (included) must be properly mounted for product to function properly.  Cord is positioned behind the shade for a clean appearance.  Inside mount shades with this lift option have no valance; outside mount shades will have a valance with returns to hide operating mechanisms and headrail will be 1" wider than the shade (outside mount only).

This standard light weight lining is a basic light-filtering fabric made from a 70/30 Polyester/Cotton Blend.  The lining is stitched to the back of the shade to protect the facing fabric from the sun and provide a neutral color to the outside.  Available in white or ivory.

Blocking up to 95% of sunlight, the Standard Blackout Lining features excellent drapability and is pinhole resistant do to its woven construction.  Made from luxurious triple cloth 100% polyester with woven-in blackout lining.  Available in white only; has a slight grey appearance to white on the outside.

This medium weight light-filtering liner provides protection from the heat and cold while also protecting from UV rays which could lead to fading.  The material is 100% cotton, 1 pass acrylic foam with rayon flock backing and has a smooth sheen finish.  Available in white or ivory.

Blocking 100% of incoming light, this heavy weight lining is recommended for use on less opaque, light colored fabrics.  Made from 100% cotton, 3 pass acrylic foam with rayon flock backing.  Available in white only.  On shades with the Plain Fold style, light seepage may occur through pinholes from the stitching, especially at the horizontal pleats.

This simple, elegant design has no horizontal seams or stitching.  It is an excellent choice for fabrics with large scale patterns that look best without interruption.  When fully extended, the entire pattern is displayed.  Small tack stitches used to attach the cord rings may be visible on the front of the shade.  When first installed, this style should be pulled up fully and left in place several days to craete "pleat memory".

The sides of the shade curve upward when the shade is raised.  This softens the entire look of the shade as the fabric gathers in random soft folds.  Small tack stitches used to attach the cord rings are visible on the face of the shade.  Be advised: this shade takes manual adjusting to achieve the desired effect.  It is not recommended for frequent use, but more as a decorative shade.  When first installed, this style should be raised and left in place several days to create "pleat memory".

This is a structured contemporary look that requires minimal dressing.  Stay pockets on the back of the shade create pleats which look great with most fabrics.  All fabrics look good with this style but note that stay pockets do interrupt patterned fabrics.  This shade stacks very efficiently.

Sometimes known as hobbled or looped fold, the soft flow of is created by hobbling the face fabric onto the lining for cascading soft folds at 6" intervals.  While still tailored, this style has a wonderfully soft feel.  The flexibility of this style lends itself to use with all kinds of fabrics from more heavy, full-bodied to softer, more lightweight.  Note that when using a patterned fabric with a large repeat, the pattern will be interrupted at each pleat/fold.

You can create your own matching accessories using the same fabric as your roman shade.  Choose this option for one yard of fabric in the same color as your shade.  Fabric width is indicated in the Specifications tab above.

Choose this option for two yards of fabric in the same color as your shade.  For cut fabric lengths greater than 2 yards, please contact our sales department to place our order.
