Vintage shades can be recovered in a modern fabric that is similar to the original covering or changed to whatever fabric and color you like. Frames beyond repair can usually be duplicated and old metal frames can often be restored before recovering. Choose from domestic or imported fabrics. Add lace, hand pleating, chiffon rosettes or burn-out velvet for that antique look. Or choose a style that reflects more traditional lamp shades. Fabric and fringe can be dyed almost any color you desire.

Cellular shades are made with different types of fabrics. They are made from honeycomb shaped cells. These shades only show the honeycomb shape when viewed from side to side. If looked at straight on, they have a pleated appearance. Cellular shades can be purchased in two forms. One option is a light filtering option that lets the light in discreetly but still provides your home with ultimate privacy.

Pleated shades are very similar to the honeycomb blinds except there is not cell or honeycomb. These were very popular before the honeycomb craze. Typically the fabric is richer and more unique with many, many different textures and colors. Most of the pleated blinds are made with fabric that allows light to come in. You have the same options as with the cellular's such as motorization and top down, bottom up. If you want to protect the fabric on pleated blinds from the sun, most will add a backing that is either light filtering or room darkening to the back of the blind.
