Pleated Shades
Pleated shades offer style and flair to any room.
If you don’t know much about window treatments, you might think that your only option is the standard PVC horizontal blind or aluminum mini-blind. These standard options aren’t likely to go very well with your plush couches and thick new carpeting. They probably won’t give you the effect or mood you want. Pleated shades, on the other hand, can add style and flair to a room.
Superior for the Living Room
Pleated window shades are the ideal choice for a living room. You want your living room to be inviting and comfortable as well as beautiful. These shades come in many different colors, fabrics, and textures, which allows you to create an original look all your own. Or, if you’re excited about some pleated shades you saw in a home decorating magazine or on a TV show, it’s likely you can reproduce them.
Pleated shades offer many advantages. They not only add beauty and color to a room, but offer different levels of lighting as well, depending on the fabric you choose. For more sunlight and a colorful glow, choose a transparent fabric. For more privacy, add backing to your shades. You can order specialty shapes, different systems for raising and lowering your shades, and high functionality. With so much versatility, you’re likely to find a pleated shade just right for other rooms in your home.
Perfect for the Study
Pleated window shades in your office or study will give off a transparent glow. If you like your study to be dim and relaxing, you can buy pleated shades in a mahogany tone. The sunlight will enhance the color of the fabric. You can maintain your privacy in this cozy atmosphere.
But Not in the Kitchen
For the kitchen, between cooking and cleaning, standard PVC or aluminum blinds work best. An expensive fabric cannot be cleaned as easily and won’t stand up as well.
