By Jesita Jerik

Roller shades are different from standard windows. They are best used when a homeowner wants to decorate his or her room. It is easy to modify a room with style, texture and color when you are using window shades. Less money is used for interior design when shades are part of the room. Search for a supplier of shades in your location.

You will also find various grades of steel, ranging from mild to stainless, so you must choose carefully. If you want cheap window shades, then you must go for wood. Shades can be made according to the customer's specification. Custom-made window shades often are more expensive than standard shades.

You can add color, personal design and other options. You must also consider extra services that come with the purchase of window shades. A supplier that provides free installation is preferred. Some shades are easy to install, so you do not need the services of the supplier. The most common types of shades are the suntier, suntone and laminated shades

Roller shades are easy to make and install. However, most people do not know how to make them look great. This task often requires an interior designer. If you cannot afford an interior designer, there is a simple way of decorating your window shades. One way of improving the look of your shades is painting. You do not just splash paint on your shades, but you must follow specific instructions. First, you need tools to carry out this task. There are seven tools required for completing the task. You will need containers of acrylic paint, stamps, stencils, sponge brushes, sea sponge, artist brushes, and a window shades pull. The roller shades pull is a decorative item.

Go to the suppliers and buy roller shades of the right dimensions.

Once you have purchased window shades from your supplier, you need to prepare the surface for painting. Find a long table to rest the shades. You can use multiple platforms made of old doors to make the table. The shades can be laid on the floor if the table is small.

Now that you have a platform for resting your shades, you must start creating a theme for your window shades. Browse art books to look for the best theme. The theme must fit in with your room. Painting styles are also available from paint shops. The sky theme is one of the simplest to make if you are not an artist.

Clean the background and make sure that it is free from dust. Begin painting the sky theme from the top of the shades. A midnight blue color is suitable. Paint in midnight blue until you are halfway from the bottom. When you are halfway, start painting in white color. Make sure that the transition fades from blue to white. The bottom part should be light blue, since your paintbrush is tinged with blue and white paint. Allow the surface to dry.

Next, you must draw the sun using yellow acrylic paint. The sun can be drawn in one corner of the window shades using a flat circular object. Apply paint around the circular object to form a perfect circle. A drum lid can be used to draw the sun. Once you are done with the sun, progress to the moon. The crescent shaped moon must be drawn at the top of the shades.

The last step is to put the finishing touches. The last object in the sky theme is cloud. Clouds can be drawn using a sponge. Dip the sponge in white paint and start drawing the clouds. Clouds are easy to draw. I bet you know the shape of clouds. You can look up your picture book to see how clouds look like on paper. Finally, you must draw stars using your artist brushes. Put the stars at the top of the window shades.

The job is finished. When the painting has dried, install the window. The sky theme is fascinating. The night sky will show during the night, and the day sky will show during the day. There are many types of themes. You are not restricted. Find your style. - 29957
