Shades for window treatments are basically blinds that go up and down. Three of the most popular shades include the cellular or honeycomb shade, the roller shade and the roman shades.
The honeycomb or cellular shades are known for their energy efficiency. If you look at the shades sideways, they look like a bee’s hive. Options include top down, bottom up, motorization, and cell sizes. The most popular cell sizes are the three fourths in single pleat and the three eights inch double pleat.
Roller shades go up and down on a roller system. They are a solid piece of fabric in may colors and styles. The options include a nice cassette valance, motorization and nice decorative hem.
Roman shades go up and down but stack on each other instead. There are many fabrics to choose from. You can get these motorized or in the hobbled style. The hobbled style looks like a teardrop for these shades.
