How To Customize Plain Roller Shades For Your Room

You can make roller shades personalized to your own taste or to match the decor of your room. This does not require any special skill, just a little creativity. You can use this to have shades that are your own and unlike anything else you can find anywhere so your windows are covered with something that truly reflects you.

You must make sure that all the decorating touches you do are added to the bottom of the shade only so that the roller can still work properly without being jammed up. This allows you to still have them function and you will need to determine the point you will let hang down when they are rolled up and only decorate to this point.

When you decide to decorate, take a good look at your room and see if you have any theses going on. This is the easiest way to decide how to decorate them. If you have a room that remind you of the beach, then seashells can be very useful. If you have a room full of color, faux gemstones can be good to add to the window shades and give it an additional amount of color.

A simple way to dress shades up is to add contrasting fabric to them. You can sew them on with an applique stitch, or you can use spray adhesive for a new sew option. Make sure your fabric will not fray and that the fabric is smoothed out with no bubbles to attach.

If you want a feminine room, then adding bows and ribbons can be a good way to go. These come in many colors and sizes, so you can create the look that you want and is unique to your own taste. This adds a bit of simple charm, and you can use fabric glue to adhere them to the shade, so it is also a no sew option.

You can also paint directly on the shade for a truly one of a kind look, if you have the talent of it. Stencils and stamps are good for those that do not, and you are limitless in the look you can create this way. This can be a good way to give you beauty and show off your talent at the same time.

Remember when modifying the window shades for your own taste to use lightweight materials that will not interfere in the rolling mechanism. You also need to be able to attach them, and try to do so to the best of your ability and skill. Many things do not need to be sewn on, and there are glues that are made for fabric that will work very well for this type of project.

You can make your roller shades unique to your room. Creating them can fit your own sense of style sand you are not limited on what you want to do. This can make the room all yours and one of a kind.
