Window Blinds Info and Tips

redheaded asked:


I have these bamboo roman shades in my large living room window and they go great with my decor but do not provide enough privacy and glare reduction (TV). I tried putting some curtains also but they just don’t look as great as the simpleness of the shades…any suggestions on how to reduce glare and provide privacy while still using the shades?

I’m thinking of outfitting most of my house with bamboo roman shades. I think they give a crisp clean look. What do you think?

VAgirl asked:


OK, new house we bought has replacement windows that look great. One problem the way they were installed I can not put the window treatments I like (roman shades and the bamboo shades with a valance built in) inside the window when installed. I have never seen these hung outside the window. Will they look ok like that or do I need to go with another type of window treatment?
