I currently have roman shades in a sheer fabric on my windows. Should I make another set in a heavier fabric for the fall/winter and change them with each season? http://www.robinbarondesign.com/2009/11/q-what-can-i-do-to-make-my-window-treatments-feel-more-season-appropriate-i-currently-have-roman-shades-in-a-sheer-fabric-on-my-windows-should-i-make-another-set-in-a-heavier-fabric-for-the-fall/ http://www.robinbarondesign.com/2009/11/q-what-can-i-do-to-make-my-window-treatments-feel-more-season-appropriate-i-currently-have-roman-shades-in-a-sheer-fabric-on-my-windows-should-i-make-another-set-in-a-heavier-fabric-for-the-fall/#comments Thu, 05 Nov 2009 17:30:47 +0000 robin http://www.robinbarondesign.com/?p=1884 A: That’s always an option, but it would definitely be more challenging for you to keep changing them given how they have to be mounted and strung to function.  I think the easiest solution, and one that would have the most impact, would be to invest in panels.  I would leave your roman shades as they are all year-round.  I always like to layer my window treatments anyway.

To start, I would mount a pole (there are great choices in all price ranges out there) and either purchase a pair of stationary panels, have them made or, if you are handy, make them yourself.  You can make the spring/summer panels in linen and for fall/winter, you can use a heavier weight fabric depending on your taste and décor.

Some suggested websites or retailers that have a great selection of window treatments and hardware are ABC Home, Smith and Noble, Pottery Barn, Anthropologie, and Restoration Hardware.
