Pleated RVs<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/rv-motorhome\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instead of the standard mini blind in your RV, try a pleated shade.<\/a> It\u2019s better than a mini-blind because it\u2019s lightweight like a mini, but has no slats to trap dust and dirt from the campground. And the slim profile and stacking height are so minimalist, you won\u2019t feel like they\u2019re in the way in your home on the road. Some pleated shades are also cordless, so they\u2019re safe around kids and pets and the clean cordless look is just right for such a small space. Pleated shades will complement your casual on-the-road lifestyle but add a bit of flair to your home away from home.<\/p>\n<div class=\"curalate-widget\" style=\"max-width: 600px; margin: auto; min-width: 240px; min-height: 240px;\">\n<div class=\"curalate-widget-container\" style=\"position: relative; width: 100%; height: 0; border-radius: 3px; padding-bottom: 109.5%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"curalate-widget-iframe\" style=\"z-index: 1; border-radius: 3px; position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; left: 0; top: 0;\" title=\"Curalate Reveal: Interactive image with tagged items\" src=\"https:\/\/r.curalate.com\/v2\/widget\/TNbqJL0sha18BfF9EXQkjYuqNDypeeqc?replaceTabs=false&amp;spatialTagIcon=tag&amp;autoShowProducts=false&amp;shopButtonText=View Details\" width=\"600\" height=\"657\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"curalate-widget-image lazyload\" style=\"position: relative !important; z-index: 0 !important; width: 100%; border-radius: 3px;\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/edge.curalate.com\/v1\/img\/yLtw6zTR17L6e6gMcIMcRttXF6fl69W6IMQrJsuEvqs=\/d\/l\" alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" \/><script class=\"curalate-widget-script\" async=\"\" defer=\"\" charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"https:\/\/d30bopbxapq94k.cloudfront.net\/js\/curalate-widget-client-all-v3.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19559 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/BlogSpace.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"35\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>2. Pleated Patio Doors<\/h2>\n<p>Use pleated shades on hinged patio doors or sliding glass doors. Pleated shades are often the best choice for patio doors because of their very slim profile. They are skinny (like my margaritas), so you get great clearance behind patio door handles, which is something many people forget about when they are choosing their shades. Pleated shades have a very small stacking height when fully open, making them perfect to use as an outside mount over sliding patio doors. They\u2019ll stack neatly and easily out of the way in a very small space so even tall people won\u2019t need to duck when they go in or out. Can you imagine trying to do that with the fat stacking height of a huge wood blind? With the 2 on 1 headrail option, pleated shades have a sleek look. The added bonus is that they are easy to clean, so your high-traffic patio door will have shades that look beautiful even if you just do a quick Swiffer dusting as your in-laws pull into your driveway.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/3_edit.jpg\" rel=\"mfp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6893 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/3_edit.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"473\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/3_edit.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/3_edit-300x236.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>3. Pleated Large Windows<\/h2>\n<p>Large, wide windows present a challenge because of their size. In general, the wider the blind or shade, the more costly it can become. But with the affordability of pleated shades, you can order 2 shades on 1 headrail to cover that wide space, yet still get the streamlined look of a single headrail. Plus, you can play up the light with a beautiful semi-opaque fabric or even have a blackout liner for a large bedroom window or media room. For blackout, be sure to order the no-holes style, of course!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/2_edit.jpg\" rel=\"mfp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6892 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/2_edit.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"553\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/2_edit.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/2_edit-300x276.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>4. Everyday Pleated<\/h2>\n<p>Use a pleated shade every day for a casual, inexpensive look. Pleated shades offer a fabric look and feel at a very attractive price. If you find yourself drawn to cellular shades and Roman shades, you may love pleated shades for the similar soft look and dimension they bring to your windows. Pleated shades are made from a single piece of fabric folded into crisp pleats that collapse and stack neatly. Did you know that pleated shades are offered in a larger 2\u201d pleat size? The 2\u201d pleat creates a subtle look that is nicely proportioned for large windows. You can choose from various opacity levels or add a liner for more light control. Order lots of swatches so you can touch and feel them, then pick the one you love knowing that you\u2019re getting a great value in a beautiful fabric shade.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/4_edit.jpg\" rel=\"mfp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6894 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/4_edit.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/4_edit.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/4_edit-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So there you have my top 4 favorite uses for pleated shades.
