Roman Shades by Mara, Fine Window Coverings

This arched window, placed higher than the other windows in the room, called for special attention. A Fold Forward roman shade, fabricated in a bold print, is set apart by the arch shaped top. The use of the same fabric in the draperies, helped to pull all the windows together, and made this arch window a spectacular entrance to the room.

These two windows combine multiple layers to accomplish a very "Royal Treatment." Fold Forward Roman Shades are fabricated in a washed, upholstery weight fabric. The bottom hems are gracefully sculpted and trimmed with a chenille tassle trim. The drapery panels, of rich sueded fabric, fall softly to the floor in puddles, and are trimmed with contrast welt. Padded cornice boxes finish this look with a subtle curved shape to compliment the hem in the roman shades.

Skylights were added to this room to create an open feeling. Though the glass was tinted, the glare and heat made this room unusable. Award winning design of these motor operated shades created a cloud effect that also cooled the room and added an aesthetically pleasing atmosphere.

MOTORIZATION ! The wave of the future! We have added a motor to this velvet balloon shade to show the appeal of motorized window coverings. Home video rooms are dramatically enhanced by adding motorized treatments. With the touch of a button, heavy, oversized, or hard to access window treatments can be operated easily. Hand held remote, wall mounted switch, or automated control systems (operated from your computer) are some of the options available. Whether your project is residential or commercial, motorization can solve the "big window" challenge.
