Balloon Shades

From soft and playful to dramatic and bold, balloon shades will add drama and high-fashion style to even the most plain of windows. Consider this the ultimate make-over!

 

The London Balloon Shades:

London Balloon Shades combine the simplicity of a Casual Roman Shade and the fullness of a Balloon Shade.

Suitable fabrics: Light to medium weight fabrics such as cottons, linens, silks and sheers.

  • This shade is functional but needs to be dressed each time it is raised and lowered. Shade will show some wrinkling when lowered. Chintz is not recommended for a functioning shade, as the finish will crack.
  • Cords and rings (on the back of the shade) may be visible with a lace or sheer fabric.
  • Printed plaids are not recommended.
  • Finished length is measured from the top of the board to the shortest point of the hem.
  • London Balloon Shades will be lined with the exception of sheers; silks should always be interlined.
  • This shade can be inside mounted; a welt or a decorative cord will camouflage light gaps at the top of the window.
  • Fabrics with widely spaced pattern or a half-drop repeat are not recommended as there may be large areas of just background.

 The Pleated Balloon Shades:

Pleated Balloon Shades are tailored, voluminous and always elegant.

Suitable fabrics: Light to medium weight fabrics such as cottons, linens, silks, sheers, and supple velvets.

  • This shade is functional but needs to be dressed each time it is raised and lowered. Shade will show some wrinkling when lowered. Chintz is not recommended for a functioning shade, as the finish will crack.
