Roman blinds are worth it to many people because they last for a very long time, and are beautiful, but for those who wish to have roman blinds in their home, but aren’t looking to spend a fortune to have them, we have put together a list of things you can do.

Make them yourself: This is probably the best way to get the perfect roman blinds for not much money, especially if you have some experience sewing. While roman blinds look complicated they aren’t really that hard to make, and you can finish up a set in as little as a weekend.

Another great way to save money is to find them at flea markets and thrift stores as well as garage or estate sales. Many times the employees of these stores or the person selling them has no idea of their actual value and will sell them for just a few dollars. One of the drawbacks to buying these type of roman blinds however, is that they may not fit properly. They may be too wide or too short for the window you are planning to put them in. However, if you can find a matching set for just a few dollars, you may be able to live with the incorrect fit.

If you simply cannot make your own or find any at flea markets or thrift stores, you may want to check online. Ebay is a great resource for finding items, and you can get custom roman blinds made for you for as little as $70 or $80 depending on size if you absolutely must buy new. You may even be able to save money by paying a friend or a seamstress to make your roman blinds for you.

Many different types of roman blinds exist, and trying to decide which to buy is often a difficult decision. We’ll go over some of the common types that you can find in stores. First, is the patterned style. These type of roman blinds generally have some sort of pattern on the fabric whether it be contemporary or traditional. Patterned styles are all about your personal taste and what type of pattern you prefer, or what works best with your décor.

Another popular type are the stripe patterns. These type of roman blinds usually feature small vertical stripes that are difficult to see up close. One of the major benefits of these type of blinds is that they can let in light through some of the stripes and are opaque on the others, which makes for a very nice way to let in the light. These type of striped roman blinds are quite popular with modern decorators because they feature more of a traditional look. You can find striped roman blinds in silk, canvas or many other materials.

If your decorating scheme happens to go along the new age or Asian path then you may want to consider the weave type. These have woven fabrics and feature grass and linen like materials which can make for a very Asian look if that is what you are going trying to achieve. Also this is great for the island look, featuring Polynesian looks like bamboo or other South Pacific decorating schemes. If your decorating pattern is any of these styles then the tans and browns of this style may be perfect for you.

If you have two or more colors in your decorating theme then you may want to consider roman blinds with alternating panels. This allows you to use two or more colors, to accent the décor in your home. For instance, if your color scheme is browns and tans then a tope and olive green may be perfect.
