The Many Shades of Modern Roller Shades

So you've decided on roller shades. Now the question is, which kind should you get? Traditional roller shades? Roller screen shades? Are there other types?

There are even coverings like Sonnette™ Cellular Roller Shades that combine the energy-efficient construction of a cellular shade with the clean lines of a standard roller.

What Applications Work Best with Roller Shades?

With a clean, neutral appearance, roller shades work well in almost any setting, from modern to traditional. Placed behind your draperies, they add an extra layer of privacy and style to your room. And if you have gorgeous views, roller shades are a particularly good choice because, when raised, they totally disappear into the headrail. The really great thing about roller shades is that they can be mounted a number of ways. An inside mount highlights your windows—but keep in mind, there may be a small light gap on the sides of the shade. An outside mount covers the window frames. And a ceiling mount can make your room actually seem taller.

Roller Shade Recap

With a clean, modern look and so many fabric, design and light-control options, roller shades are the perfect choice for almost any type of application. Features like the dual-roller option and innovative lifting systems allow for even more flexibility. And as an added bonus, roller shades are easy to clean and work in all sorts of sizes and styles.

Other Considerations

While Roller shades are a great option for window coverings, they may not be the perfect option for everyone or for every room. A few things to consider:

• Inside mount roller shades must meet a minimum depth requirement to accommodate the mechanism. As a result, inside mount option may experience some light gaps. For a full light blocking installation, consider going with an outside mount.
• Roller blinds with a light filtering fabric might still show shadows or silhouettes from the outside, especially at night when light sources in the home are present. For more privacy, consider going with a blackout fabric.
