Roman Shade Hardware and Supplies
Making roman shades is not just about the fabric... and how far apart to sew your rings. Installation is key to a professional result... and using the right supplies makes your roman shade even nicer! In this lens, I'm going to share with you all kinds of unique roman shade hardware and supplies for making roman shades. Many of these ideas and products will speed up the making of your roman shades... and others will give you the complete professional result.
3 things you should know about Roman Shade Hardware
1. Choose roman shade supplies that complement the look of your roman shade. If you are going for a contemporary look, choose nickel plated shade rings. Select decorative cord drops and cleats that match your decor. If you will see the lift cord... choose a color that matches your fabric.
2. Select roman shade hardware that is appropriate for your installation. If you have a light roman shade, then all you may need is a simple roman shade cord lock. If you have heavy roman shades, consider installing a bead chain system to handle the weight.
3. Save yourself time and energy by being smart about your roman shade supplies. If you're sewing a slatted roman shade, consider using roman shade rib tape that will create a casing and give you loops to thread your lift cord. This tape will save you tons of time from sewing on individual rings. And this is just one example of how smart tools can save you time.
