woven roller shade- corded

3 years ago

Does anyone have any tips or recommendations for a corded woven roller shade? All the big box stores banned them so I have to revert to something more custom online. My bed blocks the window so I need a cord to raise and lower the shade.

All the major online shade stores offer cord loop rollers as the standard option with cordless typically being a more expensive upgrade. Blinds.com, SelectBlinds, Blinds Chalet etc.

Interestingly my wood weave shades from the Shade Store are paper based, not that I mind. They look great actually but for the price I assumed it was another type of wood. Here’s what I have in the kitchen. This is with a privacy liner sewn to the back which is optional but you can get the same material in almost any color in a roller with cord loop. I think the color on mine is called Toast.

This is going to be a great office! As you get your desk situated, don't forget cord management. I like these for a "floating" desk as others here have suggested you do. Do you like color? If so, maybe a soft butter yellow storage cabinet for printer and other electronics you don't have room for but don't necessarily want exposed on your existing bookcase. I am not sure if you already have a rug or not, but if you don't, here is a suggestion: Now that I'm going wild here, if you wanted some curtains to soften up the windows, you may want to try something like this: For your desk, try these fun accessories for inspiration: You could put a happy pillow on your chair for back support and visual interest: And a fresh new trashcan / wastebasket. (You could even have fun with this and paint the inside sunny yellow!

What a great room - the potential here is endless! The curtains definitely need to come down first, they completely overwhelm those stunning windows. I'd go for super soft white, sheer, floor length curtains, and the walls would look beautiful in a beige color with white ceiling and trims. Can you afford to replace the blue lino? Even if it's just a different colour lino in a neutral shade like cream or beige it would make a big difference. The tablecloth could be replaced with nice placemats (white or natural fibres) or if you really love tablecloths go for one that is a bit more neutral like white or beige and have a nice centerpiece ie a small plant, vase, candles or similar. Also add a few decorative items to the sideboard on the right - a lamp (with a WARM white bulb of course) is a good start plus provides lovely mood lighting to dine by. Good luck with your makeover and happy decorating!

Don't waste your money rendering the bricks - that look will go out of fashion. Don't replace your tiles with a colourbond roof either as that would be giving you an inferior roof and colourbond roofs are noisy. Replace your front door and try and choose wrought iron bannister railing. Then start off fresh with your front garden; soften it with magnolia shrubs, white agapanthus and trailing plants such as erigon to trail over brickwork in the driveway. Your bricks show a lot of character; please don't render them.

Bedside Pendants or not?

Hi Pazz, I really like your idea of seagrass wallpaper behind the bed, it would add texture and warmth plus make more of a feature of the window on that wall (compared with the other windows). If the wallpaper is dark enough, the concrete pendants would look great (but the cord will definately have to be jigged because you'll ruin the clean black rectangle of your window if the cord cuts it). I'm personally a fan of the Tom Dixon Beat pendant shape, and curved or rounded pendant would also soften the room which has lots of angular edges, plus it will throw wider light if the mouth is large enough! It's a lovely room, would love to see pic when you make your final selection! :-)

Steve S, are you happy with your shades from the Shade Store? We are getting ready to order from them in a Natural (paper) like you have. Debating over the Top Down Bottom Up option - does it work smoothly?

Hello taeka123,

I am happy with although I wouldn’t exactly say it works smoothly other than it works as it’s intended . Which is slightly awkward as the cords are in the back of the shade.

It’s a two handed operation one to gently lift the shade away from the window and while carefully pulling the cords. Careful because if you’re not looking you can pull against the material especially when pulling the shade up into the closed position damaging it.

That hasn’t happened but it’s a design where I can see if I have children or maybe other people using it a lot It’s bound to happen.

For just myself I’d buy it again but if I had children or other people (roommates etc) sharing the house I’m not so sure they would be as picky or careful as I am, in that case I would probably get something else.
