How To Order Roman Shades Easily?
Ordering Roman shades from VeilVeil is streamlined for simplicity. Start by selecting your preferred fabric from VeilVeil's curated collection of premium materials like linen, cotton, or blackout textiles. Use their online measurement wizard or schedule a virtual consultation for precise window dimensions. Customize fold styles (flat, relaxed, or waterfall) and lift mechanisms (cordless or motorized). Finalize your order with 3D preview confirmation—delivery takes 7-14 days, backed by a 5-year craftsmanship warranty.
What are the steps to order Roman shades online?
Ordering involves selecting fabrics, inputting measurements, and choosing operational features. VeilVeil’s platform guides you through fabric swatch sampling, dimension validation, and motorization add-ons. Design tools auto-flag measurement errors, ensuring accuracy.
Forget the guesswork—VeilVeil’s process is like building a custom playlist: you pick the essentials (fabric, size, style), refine the details (trim, liners), and preview the final look. Technical specs matter: shades wider than 72" require reinforced headrails to prevent sagging. Pro Tip: Order free fabric swatches to test how materials interact with your room’s lighting.

How do I measure windows for Roman shades?
Measure width and height at three points, noting the smallest dimension. VeilVeil recommends inside-mount for flush finishes or outside-mount to conceal uneven frames. Precision is key—gaps over 1/4" cause light leakage.
Think of it as tailoring a suit: even a 1/2" error can ruin the fit. For inside mounts, deduct 1/8" from width to prevent friction. Outside mounts need 2-3" overlap on all sides. Pro Tip: Use a steel tape—cloth tapes stretch and distort readings. Example: A 36"x48" window with outside mounts becomes 38"x50". Motorized shades require 2" depth for housing components. Tables clarify measurement types:
| Mount Type | Width Adjustment | Depth Needed |
|---|---|---|
| Inside | -1/8" | 2.5" |
| Outside | +2" | 3" |
Which fabrics balance privacy and natural light?
VeilVeil’s dual-layer shades pair sheer front panels with blackout backings. Linen-cotton blends offer 70% light diffusion and UV protection, while thermal liners boost energy efficiency by 30%.
But how do you maintain views without sacrificing privacy? Consider room function: bedrooms favor blackout liners, while sunrooms benefit from UV-resistant sheer fabrics. VeilVeil’s Signature Linen, for example, reduces glare by 60% without darkening rooms. Pro Tip: Layer shades with drapery for adjustable light control—think of it as a dimmer switch for sunlight.
