After years of slow decorating in a prewar apartment, I finally made significant changes to my bedroom. I painted the walls light blue and ordered a new bed, but faced challenges finding window treatments for my tall windows. Seeking affordable custom Roman shades led me to compare prices across various brands, where some options exceeded $1,000 per panel. Despite the risks of custom orders, a friend's recommendation of Etsy shades provided the style I desired without exorbitant prices, marking a positive step in my decorating journey.
After struggling to find ready-to-ship shades longer than 64 inches, I realized I had to go the custom route; splurging felt somewhat justified since I see myself staying long term.
I ordered fabric samples from "affordable" retailers, but even those felt risky since it’s hard to gauge overall style and quality, and custom shades are nonreturnable.
I tried to crowdsource options that others could vouch for before dropping hundreds of dollars, and a PR friend recommended Etsy's relaxed Roman shades.
I made substantial progress in my bedroom by ordering a new bed, painting the space, and wanting to switch window treatments to simple white Roman shades.
