			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Window treatments add a finishing touch to the decor of any room, and Roman shades can make a perfect accent. Fabric Roman shades are both versatile and attractive, and can be found in variety of colors and styles, including prints. They can also work with or without curtains, and are an elegant alternative to traditional blinds. </p>
<p>There are many different materials used to make shades, some are natural and others are synthetic materials.  Some of the types of natural fabric include silk, satin, jute and cotton.  Most shades will be dyed so you can choose from many different colors.  If you are thinking about getting any dyed materials to cover your windows then you should know that the sunlight will fade the color of your shades over time. </p>
<p>You may see some styles of shades that are mounted to a special board before the fabric is attached. These will have a different surface facing the outside area of your window so the inside material is less likely to fade. You will also want to consider the way a material is cleaned when choosing your particular window shade. Natural products might not be as easy to clean as synthetic styles. Usually a spot cleaner made for upholstery will work best, but the fabric could be prone to staining.</p>
<p>A fabric covered shade may be suitable for use in an adult bedroom, but not the best choice for a child&#8217;s playroom. Fabrics will also collect dust and pet hair so they might not be the best choice for a home with several animals who shed their hair.</p>
<p>Fabric Roman shades are simple way to update or finish any room in your house. The single panel shades can be made of virtually any fabric and color, from warm solids to playful prints. Blackout and insulated shades can also be purchased, as can sheer shades to filter light rather than block it. Cleaning Roman shades is typically done by vacuuming, although stained fabric may require to use of upholstery cleaner. Roman shades can be found in both home and department stores, and from numerous online retailers. The prices are affordable, making them an economical as well as practical choice in window coverings.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Accents have a lot to do with completing the look of home interiors.  If you are contemplating on giving your home a little spruce, you should seriously consider getting accents for the walls as well as windows to give your space the best possible improvements.  Among the popular pieces today are pleated shades which are intended not only for decorative but practical purposes as well. </p>
<p>There are several advantages to choosing this type of shades, one of which is that it is a classic piece of accent which never goes out of style.  Aesthetics matter greatly when it comes to designing home interiors and having blinds would allow you to create the necessary ambiance whenever necessary. On a practical note, shades are needed in order to keep natural light regulated during the day. </p>
<p>Design Options: The pleated window shades are available in a wide range of designs and you can pick one according to your preferences. You can choose from various colors and go for thick or thin fabrics depending on the color combination of existing furniture and the theme of the room.</p>
<p>For a touch of class, you might want to consider a two fabric combination which adds a touch of classy effect to the space.  As far as adjustments go, you may choose those with drawstrings or those without depending on how often you think you will need to adjust the blinds.  </p>
<p>Where to Find Suitable Blinds for Purchase: Pleated shades can be found in most furniture centers and many large department stores. The biggest variety will often be found online. Many home improvement centers offer deep discounts on blinds if purchased through the company website. Local home improvement stores will likely charge more for similar merchandise to cover high overhead costs.</p>
