Choose The Right Fabric To Make Window Blinds

By using the right fabric to make window blinds you will create a treatment the will cause your family and friends to stop dead in their tracks and gaze with rapture.

The choice is crucial to the outcome of your decorating project. Too many times in my years of making window blinds, customers and decorators have given me the wrong fabric to make a blind.

Some treatments like custom roman window blinds almost demand a crisp fabric to stand up and salute. With these shades -straight and even -is a must for great looks. They must be straight, and line up with military precision to look their best.

Try and do that with a soft whimpering fabric, and you will pull your hair out trying to accomplish it.

On the other hand if you are going to make or have made a balloon shade, an Austrian shade, or any of the others that have fullness built in, then you want a good soft whimpy fabric. A fabric that will do it's own thing, stretch out and go where no self respecting crisp fabric ever dared to go.

The right fabric to make window blinds is crucial to the outcome of the project. Don't and I repeat don't go to a dress goods store to buy fabric for a window blind unless they have a section for decorator fabric.

Dress goods hang and fall different than decorator fabric. They have different stress points and are made to different standards. Dress goods make great clothing while decorator fabrics make great window treatments.


Fasion Fabrics Club
has an outstanding selection of decorator fabric. They go to great lengths to make sure the fabric you are purchasing will accomplish what you want it to.

Browse through their different categories and let your imagination run wild.

I have made roman shades out of all kinds of different patterns and prints. I had a customer who loved monkeys and all her blinds were made to show off monkeys.

I've used a poster of Farrah Fawcett to laminate on pvc vertical slats.

What if you had your family portrait put on a piece of cotton fabric and then made a roman shade for your family room out of it?

You are only limited by your own imagination, step out of the box and create a window blind that will command all who see it to stand there and gaze with rapture.

Be sure to use the right fabric to make window blinds and you will be half way there to the decorators hall of fame.
