How to choose the perfect roller window coverings for your home

Here are some expert tips on what to consider when ordering custom roller shades for your home. When choosing roller shades, it is important to consider the type of material you want, the level of light control you need, and who is using them to make sure they are operated safely and efficiently.

Keep in mind that there are two main fabric types: blackout and light filtering. Blackout shades will completely block out light, while light-filtering shades will allow some light to pass through. If you want complete privacy or need to block out light for a room like a nursery or home theater, choose a fabric with a higher opacity. If you want something that keeps your room bright and airy during the day, such as for a kitchen or living room, go for light filtering fabrics.

You should also consider the style of the room or space that the window shade will be installed in. For example, if it is a coastal or contemporary space, you can go for navy or dark blue colors with soft patterns. For a traditional decor, solid neutral colors may be more appropriate.

How easy does the roller shade need to operate? For example, are there elderly in the home who may need easier access to opening and closing the shade? Or are there small children and pets where choking hazards are a consideration? You may want to go for motorized roller shades that have a remote control instead of dangling lift cords, providing a safe and easy way to operate.

Finally, make sure to measure your windows correctly before ordering roller window shades. This will ensure that they fit properly and look great once installed.
