French doors are not only a stunning architectural feature that can enhance the elegance and charm of any home, but also a versatile design element that can transform your space. To truly make the most of these beautiful doors, consider incorporating outside mount window treatments.
Outside mount shades are installed on the exterior of the window frame, above the glass or on the wall surrounding the window. This mounting style is ideal for French doors, providing enhanced light control, privacy, and aesthetic appeal.
When installing outside mount shades on French doors, it's crucial to measure accurately to ensure a perfect fit. Here are some dos and don'ts for measuring and installation:

At Everhem, we've had the privilege of being part of countless home transformations, each with its unique charm and character. Our most recent project took us to the beautiful neighborhood of Cheviot Hills in Los Angeles, where we had the pleasure of helping style a remarkable Spanish Revival home with our exquisite Everhem Drapery and Woven Woods.
Nestled in the heart of Cheviot Hills, this home is a true gem, showcasing a seamless fusion of classic and eclectic design elements. From the moment we stepped inside, we were captivated by the balance of timeless elegance and modern flair that permeated every room. It was clear that this home deserved window treatments that would complement its unique character, and Everhem's neutral options were the perfect choice.
One of the standout features of this project was our collaboration with the homeowners to select the ideal window treatments for each room. Everhem's Drapery and Woven Woods offered the versatility and sophistication needed to enhance the ambiance and functionality of every space.
In the living areas, our Everhem Drapery in neutral tones played a pivotal role in creating an inviting and cozy atmosphere. The soft, muted colors of our drapery perfectly complemented the classic architecture of the Spanish Revival home, while also allowing the homeowners to experiment with various decor styles.
For instance, in the living room, our Birch Drapery provided a clean and timeless backdrop, allowing the homeowners to incorporate pops of color through decorative pillows and the gorgeously renovated fireplace. The result was a space that felt both classic and vibrant, ideal for entertaining guests or simply unwinding with family.
In areas where a more rustic and earthy ambiance was desired, our Everhem Woven Woods stole the show. These natural window treatments added a touch of warmth and authenticity to the home, enhancing the Spanish Revival aesthetic.
In the dining room, our Woven Woods in Chestnut layered with Everhem Sheers beautifully complemented the rich wood tones of the furniture and colorful kitchen cabinets. The interplay between the woven texture of the window treatments and the room's earthy elements created a captivating dining experience that felt both cozy and sophisticated.
The beauty of Everhem window treatments lies not only in aesthetics but also in functionality. We worked closely with the homeowners to ensure that each space had the ideal balance of light control and privacy.
In the bedrooms, our Roman Shades provided a peaceful retreat, allowing for restful nights of sleep. We also offer lining customization to accommodate blackout shades, ensuring you can enjoy uninterrupted slumber.
This Cheviot Hills Spanish Revival home is a testament to the power of thoughtful design and the impact of well-chosen window treatments. With Everhem's help, the homeowners were able to transform their already beautiful space into a cozy and inviting retreat that celebrated the best of classic and eclectic design.
As we reflect on this project, we are reminded of the unique beauty that each home possesses and how Everhem window treatments have the ability to enhance and elevate that beauty. We are grateful to have played a part in bringing the vision for this stunning Cheviot Hills home to life, and we look forward to continuing our journey of transforming spaces, one window at a time.

If you're ready to embark on your own home transformation, we invite you to explore our versatile range of customizable window treatments and discover how Everhem can help you achieve the perfect blend of style and functionality in your space.
Everhem was born and raised in Los Angeles by Adam and Haley Weidenbaum! Together the couple created Everhem, an online custom window covering product building experience guided by the design principles of one of LA’s top interior designers.
All of Haley's life she's been naturally drawn to making a space feel like a home. She started with her childhood bedroom, then her dorm room and eventually her first home when she realized her passion for interior design. That passion turned into her career as an interior designer and she fell in love with helping her clients transform their spaces and achieve their design goals.
Did you know? Before Haley started on her interior design path, she was in hospitality. She worked in hotel sales and believes her experiences with different types of hotel guests shaped Everhem's customer experience that you see today!
Adam started out as a graphic designer who specialized in branding and marketing. He used his branding background to help conceptualize Haley's idea and the Everhem website.
After a decade of being in the interior design industry, Haley had an 'aha' moment! She realized just about every client needed custom window treatments but was no stranger to just how difficult that task was. Haley quickly developed a playbook for designing beautiful, custom Drapery, Roman Shades, Woven Woods and Cafe Curtains. She understood many other interior designers were in the same position and wanted to offer the industry a simpler way to design custom window treatments with easier access to window treatment experts.
Window treatments can often be overlooked or forgotten about. At Everhem, we see them as incredibly useful and impactful. Not only are they the perfect finishing touch to your space, but everyone has a need for them. Whether you desire privacy from neighbors, darker rooms for better rest, or even to help stay energy efficient by keeping the cold or heat out, window treatments are a simple answer.
With the mission of positively changing the perception of window treatments, we value our seamless web experience that's both simple and personal!
Did you know? The Everhem name was conceived by Adam and Haley while they were on vacation in Stockholm, Sweden. "Hem" is the Swedish word for "home", so the double meaning of the Swedish and English “hem” played nicely for a hand sewn product array and the inclusion of the word “ever” speaks to the idea that the products are of lasting quality and for your “forever home.”
Everhem is here to redesign the world of window treatments by threading together curated offerings, a simplified process and an experience to remember!

You’ve seen the movie scenes: sunshine is beaming down, birds are chirping and then a woman gleefully thrusts open a set of French doors to shout her excitement: “I’m getting married today!”
There’s something innately romantic about grabbing two handles and crossing a wide threshold, gauzy sheers swaying behind you like bridal veils. Indeed, French doors are commanding, dignified and certainly a designer’s dream.
In fact, the right window treatments for French doors can be just as dramatic as the doors themselves. It’s true, and I’ll prove it to you, as we explore the why, where, what and how of French door window coverings.
It’s a fair question. After all, you want that extra rush of natural light to flood your home and the custom wood molding to accent your décor. But adding window treatments won’t prevent any of that. If done well, window coverings on a set of French doors can actually amplify the size of your doors. They will draw your eye out and up, thereby expanding their visual impact. Window treatments are also an easy way to impart color or pattern into a room, which is another way to grab attention and turn your French doors into the focal point.
Of course, there’s also the practicality of window treatments. Covering your French doors helps shade your house during the heat of the day, so it stays cool and your electric bill stays low. Secondly, window treatments on a pair of French doors create much-needed privacy whenever you need it.
You’ll find two main types of French doors in a home: interior and exterior. And, truthfully, each serves a different function in your home’s design.
These are the doors that divide one room from another room within your house. When closed, they create clear borders and help define certain areas of the home. You might have a set between your dining room and kitchen, for example. This can give you the privacy you need while prepping for a dinner party. Or, maybe you have a home office that’s dressed in French doors, so you can (somewhat) separate work from your personal life.
As the name implies, exterior French doors open to the exterior of your home. Their main function is to provide an entry point to the outside world. Exterior French doors are most common toward the back of a house, where the main living space transitions to an inviting porch or patio. Another fantastical place for exterior French doors is on a balcony. I would argue that any master suite with a Juliet balcony should have a set of double doors leading out to it.
While you could get wildly creative with the window panes on your French doors, you’ll get a much more elegant aesthetic by keeping it simple. Here are four of your best window treatments for French doors:
Remember when we said window treatments can make your French doors appear larger? Drapery is the best way to achieve that look. When hung correctly, drapery beautifully frames a pair of French doors and adds height to the room.
Take note that the length of the drapery and mounting height of the hardware is key. To add height, you want to mount the rod at least seven inches above the top of the door frame. And the drapes should be long enough that they just kiss the floor.
Roman shades for French doors are typically outside mounted, meaning they attach to the wood door framing. The shades are constructed to be wide enough and long enough to cover the entire glass panes when the shades are fully closed. Because of their delicate fold, Roman shades instantly add a touch of romance and intrigue. Depending on the style, fabric and color of fabric you choose, you can elicit any number of moods with a Roman shade. A flat Roman shade, for instance, is a bit more streamlined – perfect for a modern scene or formal dining room. Whereas, a relaxed linen has more folds and feels casual enough for the bedroom or kid’s playroom.
Regardless of the fabric, you want to be sure to custom-cut a Roman shade for each door. If there are windows flanking the French doors, you’ll want separate shades for them, as well.
Layering texture is a time-tested design trick. If you’re looking to jazz up a room, woven woods on your French doors is an easy way to do it. The natural grain of the wood lends charm and flavor to an otherwise monotone space. They’re also a great complement to wood floors in the office or wicker furniture on the back patio.
The same basic rules apply to woven woods as with Roman shades. These coverings should completely cover the window panes on your French doors. With your woven shades properly fitted and outside mounted, they will. From there, you can quickly adjust the shades open or closed by pulling down on the cord.
Sometimes, two is better than one – and that might be the case with your French door window treatments. A combination of drapery and shades will do wonders at blocking out natural light, because they effectively cover all corners and crevices of the door. More than that, layering is a great way to add drama to a room. With two shields in front of your French doors, they become even more mysterious.
There is one major exception to this technique: Avoid using the same type of fabric for both the drapes and shades. Contrast is key. The treatments need to be different enough to stand on their own. Otherwise, it’s not an effective form of layering.

Now that you’re an expert in window treatments for French doors, it’s time to put all that knowledge to good use. Simply follow these dos and don’ts, and you’ll be well on your way to a professional-level design.
From the calming allure of cool "Moon" to the rich tone of "Fawn", Everhem has a wide selection of fabric options and colors. You’ll have no problem finding the right hue and fabric for your French door drapery or Roman shades. Plus, we offer woven woods in several neutral tones.
The best part is everything is custom-made to suit your home to a tee. We’ll work with you one-on-one to make sure your French doors are exactly as you dreamed them to be!

In the ever-evolving world of interior design, there are a select few whose work transcends trends and captures the essence of timeless elegance. Amber Lestrange stands out among them, renowned for her remarkable talent in crafting narratives through color, material, and space. Let’s dive into Amber Lestrange's journey in the design world and her partnership with Everhem aimed to create stunning transformations and breathtaking interiors.
Amber Lestrange's journey into the world of design was not a conventional one. It began with a series of personal projects involving the transformation of homes, where she discovered her innate passion for creating beautiful and meaningful spaces. "I fell in love with the process of weaving a story through color, material, and objects," she reflects. "Before I knew it, Lestrange Living was born."
Amber's design philosophy is rooted in authenticity and emotion, with a focus on creating spaces that evoke a sense of connection and belonging. "I learned to let the feeling I wanted to create in the space guide me," she explains. This intuitive approach to design has earned her acclaim in the industry and a dedicated following of design enthusiasts.
Amber Lestrange's collaboration with Everhem was born out of a desire to breathe new life into a run-down mid-century home. The project presented Amber with an opportunity to blend elements of sexy 70s interior design with the clean lines and minimalist aesthetic of Japandi style.
"The goal was to create a space that felt both nostalgic and contemporary," says Amber. "I wanted to honor the home's mid-century roots while infusing it with a sense of modern sophistication."
When it came to selecting window treatments for the project, Amber turned to Everhem for their expertise and impeccable craftsmanship. "I was drawn to Everhem's versatile range of products, which offered tailored solutions for every space," she explains.
For the living and dining areas, Amber opted for sheer drapes that added a sense of lightness and airiness to the space. "I love how the sheer drapes blend seamlessly with the walls, creating a monochromatic backdrop that allows other design elements to shine," she says.
In the bedrooms, Amber chose blackout blinds to add weight and fullness to the space, creating a cozy and intimate atmosphere. "The blackout blinds not only provide privacy and light control but also enhance the overall aesthetic of the room," she notes.
For the guest room, Amber selected sheer shades that brought in a softness and warmth, creating a welcoming retreat for visitors. "The sheer shades add a touch of elegance to the space while diffusing natural light in a gentle and inviting way," she adds.
Amber Lestrange's partnership with Everhem is a testament to the power of partnership and creativity. Together, they have transformed a run-down mid-century home into a stunning showcase of design innovation and craftsmanship. With their tailored solutions and attention to detail, Everhem has helped bring Amber's vision to life, creating spaces that are as beautiful as they are functional.

Designing spaces for children is a special art, and few understand this better than Hannah from Eema Studio. As the founder and designer behind EEMA, an interior design and nesting studio specializing in children's spaces, Hannah brings a unique blend of creativity and practicality to her work. As a mom to three young boys, she understands the importance of creating simplified spaces that are not just beautiful but also functional, peaceful, and playful.
Hannah provided Everhem with invaluable tips for designing nurseries and kids' rooms that stand the test of time. With her experience and expertise, she reveals the secrets to crafting spaces that are both visually appealing and highly functional.
“Repurpose a vintage chest of drawers as your baby's changing table by pairing it with a changing pad, small baskets and a little table lamp. Paint a vintage bookshelf, or anything really, to give it new life. Incorporate vintage lighting for added charm in the space -- a rattan ceiling pendant, a scalloped table lamp, or a unique wall sconce. “
Hannah's first tip is all about infusing character and charm into your child's space by incorporating vintage elements. There's something timeless and special about vintage pieces that can instantly elevate a room's aesthetics.
In Hannah’s example on repurposing a vintage chest of drawers, you can create a functional and stylish changing station that tells a story.
But the vintage love doesn't stop there. Get creative and breathe new life into vintage bookshelves or any other piece you adore. By doing so, you add a unique touch to the room, and your child's space becomes a canvas for both the old and the new. Vintage lighting can be a game-changer too. Think about adding a rattan ceiling pendant, a scalloped table lamp, or a one-of-a-kind wall sconce for that extra dash of charm. Vintage elements can bring warmth and character to a child's room that's simply unmatched.
“You'll most likely have a tired baby in your arms when you're getting the nursery ready for nap/bedtime, so opt for safe window treatments that are easy to operate. Everhem's motorized, cordless and chain loop are not only one-hand-friendly, but also child-safe, as these options don't have any long hanging cords that can be hazardous in a child's room.”
Safety is a paramount concern when it comes to children's rooms. The design should not only be visually appealing but also child-safe and practical.
Everhem offers motorized, cordless, and chain loop options that are not only easy to operate with one hand but also designed with child safety in mind. These options eliminate the risk associated with long hanging cords, ensuring your child's safety in their room. They're the perfect choice for busy parents who need simplicity and peace of mind when it comes to window treatments.
“Kids grow quickly, and their rooms will need to support all their transitions. Investing in well-made items that will grow with your family will make things easier when it's time for a room update. For example: choose a crib that converts to a toddler bed, use a nursing chair that can later be used as an accent chair, and/or pick a changing table with a removable topper, so once baby outgrows diapers - the topper can be removed, and you're left with a standard dresser.”
Kids grow up quickly, and their needs change just as fast. When designing your child's room, it's essential to consider the longevity of the big-ticket items. Investing in well-made, versatile pieces that can grow with your family will save you both time and money in the long run.
Hannah’s suggestion: consider a crib that converts into a toddler bed. This clever design ensures that your investment serves your child through multiple stages of their early years. Similarly, choose a nursing chair that can later find a new home as an accent chair in a different part of the house once your child outgrows it. And when it comes to changing tables, select one with a removable topper. When your baby no longer needs diaper changes, simply remove the topper, and you're left with a dresser that can serve your child for years to come. These choices contribute to a more sustainable and eco-friendly approach to designing children's spaces.
“I’m a big big fan of the Dune Woven Woods! The color is sun-kissed and warm, and the woven texture is elevated, but still relaxed. so versatile and timeless!”
When it comes to choosing window treatments, Hannah has a soft spot for Everhem's Dune Woven Woods. She admires the sun-kissed and warm color that adds a welcoming vibe to any space. The woven texture of the Dune woven woods strikes a perfect balance between elegance and relaxation, making it an incredibly versatile and timeless choice for window treatments. This particular fabric offers a natural and organic feel that complements various design styles, from boho-chic to coastal and beyond. Its warm and inviting tones create a cozy atmosphere in any child's room, making it the perfect backdrop for play and rest.
“I looove to cook. Being in the kitchen, making new dishes and feeding my family and friends brings me a lot of joy.”
Beyond her passion for interior design, Hannah loves to cook. Being in the kitchen, experimenting with new dishes, and sharing delicious meals with her family and friends brings her immense joy. This passion for culinary creativity often finds its way into her design work, where she draws inspiration from the artistry of food and the joy of sharing meals together.
These expert tips from Hannah at Eema Studio provide a fantastic foundation for creating beautiful, functional, and safe spaces for your children. Whether you're expecting a new arrival or giving your child's room a makeover, these insights will help you design a space that not only looks great but also adapts to your child's growing needs. Thank you, Hannah, for sharing your wisdom with us and helping parents create dreamy and practical spaces for their little ones!
Your journey to creating the perfect home begins as soon as the ink dries on your new property papers. The excitement of homeownership sparks the imagination, and the prospect of turning your house into a dream. Amid all the design decisions you'll make, none are as pivotal as choosing the right window treatments.Our Founder and Interior Designer, Haley Weidenbaum shared her invaluable interior design insights with us, to help you navigate the world of window coverings.
Before diving into window treatment choices, it's crucial to align them with your home's design style. Window treatments, like flooring and color palettes, play a pivotal role in setting the tone of a room. Whether you're envisioning a coastal Cape Cod escape or a traditionally timeless space, your selections should exude timelessness. Opt for quality fabric and custom sizing to ensure longevity and adaptability to evolving design preferences.
The size and shape of your windows significantly influence the type of window treatment that works best. Shades excel when they're custom-fit for small, elevated, or multi-sectional windows. Conversely, drapes shine when cascading over expansive, tall, or multi-sectional windows. Embrace creativity by combining shades and drapes, employing the layered approach to add depth, privacy, and sophistication to your design.
The decision between inside-mount and outside-mount shades hinges on your window's trim. Wide, decorative trim is a canvas worth showcasing with an inside mount. Conversely, outside mounting exposes the window pane fully, a suitable choice for windows with plain or narrow molding. Remember, at least one inch of depth is needed for inside-mounted shades.
Privacy needs vary throughout your home. Bedrooms and bathrooms demand maximum privacy, achieved with blackout window treatments. Meanwhile, communal spaces like the kitchen thrive with ample natural light. Customize your privacy by adding linings, offering versatility from light-filtering to blackout.
While decorating room by room, keep the grand vision of your entire home in mind. Window treatments should complement and contribute to your home's overarching design style. Subtle touches can accumulate to create a cohesive, impactful design. Avoid overpowering a room with bold patterns, heavy fabrics, or diverse hardware. Instead, let small, subtle details coalesce into a harmonious whole.
Consistency is key to achieving a unified design style. While fabric choices may vary, maintain coherence by selecting harmonious color palettes. Everhem offers a spectrum of neutral tones that effortlessly blend. Consistency extends to pleat styles, ensuring a uniform appearance throughout your home. Likewise, matching hardware styles and finishes fosters design harmony.
Window treatments can influence your home's exterior aesthetics. Front-facing rooms benefit from uniform window treatments, enhancing curb appeal. Consistency in front-facing windows, such as drapery on all, provides visual symmetry. Yet, with Everhem's versatile products, there are no wrong choices, as all seamlessly integrate with one another.
Your quest for the perfect home has culminated in your new abode. Now, with Everhem, we aim to simplify decorating decisions, like selecting window treatments, making them as effortless as possible. Armed with these expert design tips, you'll breeze through the process. If questions arise or you need a neutral party to resolve a design dispute, don't hesitate to reach out to us at hello@everhem.com.

One of the quintessential patterns of the Christmas season is plaid. It's a design choice that immediately evokes feelings of warmth and nostalgia. To elevate your Everhem Roman Shades for the holidays, consider crafting a fabric plaid garland.

Windows are more than just openings to the outside world; they are opportunities for interior design excellence. One way to elevate your windows and add depth, style, and functionality to your space is through the art of layering window treatments. In this blog post, we'll explore the magic of layering Roman Shades and Woven Woods with drapery, and how the interplay of colors and textiles can transform your home with Everhem.
Roman Shades: Roman Shades are a versatile and elegant choice for window treatments. Their clean lines and smooth operation make them a favorite for many homeowners. When layering Roman Shades with drapery, you create a sophisticated look that marries form and function.
Color Coordination: Begin by selecting Roman Shades or Woven Shades and drapery in complementary colors. For a harmonious and balanced aesthetic, consider choosing shades that are a shade or two lighter or darker than your drapery. This subtle contrast adds depth and dimension to your windows.
Textile Pairing: Think about texture. If your drapery features a smooth, solid fabric, opt for materials with a bit of texture, like our Woven Woods. Conversely, if your drapery has a subtle texture, smooth Roman Shades can create a pleasing contrast.
Layering Styles: Depending on your style and preferences, you can choose from various Roman Shade or Woven Shade styles, from flat to relaxed, and pair them with drapery that complements the look. For instance, flat Roman Shades exude a clean and modern vibe, while relaxed Roman Shades bring a touch of casual elegance to your windows.
Subtle Neutrals: If your design aesthetic leans towards the minimalist or Scandinavian style, consider layering neutral-colored Roman Shades with light, sheer drapery. This combination brightens your space and allows for soft, diffused natural light.
Bold Contrasts: For a dramatic effect, go for contrasting colors and textiles. Deep, rich Roman Shades paired with striking drapery can create a captivating focal point in any room.
Textile Variety: Experiment with different textiles. Combine Roman Shades made from natural materials like bamboo or rattan with drapery featuring soft, luxurious fabrics. The mix of textures adds tactile interest to your space.
Monochromatic Magic: Monochromatic layering can be incredibly chic. Select Roman Shades and drapery in the same color family but with varying shades. This creates a seamless, monochromatic look with subtle variations that add depth and dimension.
The layering of Roman Shades and drapery isn't just about aesthetics; it's about functionality too. Roman Shades offer precise light control, and when paired with drapery, you have the flexibility to fine-tune your desired ambiance. Pull the shades up for abundant natural light during the day, and draw the drapery at night for privacy.
Layering window treatments with Everhem allows you to achieve a dynamic, personalized, and visually captivating space. The interplay of colors, textures, and textiles adds depth and character to your home while giving you unparalleled control over light and privacy.
Whether you prefer a sleek, modern look or a cozy, traditional ambiance, Everhem's versatile collection of Roman Shades, Woven Woods, and drapery allows you to customize your windows to perfection. So, don't be afraid to experiment with layers, colors, and textures, and let your windows become a canvas for your unique style. With Everhem, your windows will be the envy of every room.
Roman Shades are the unsung heroes of window treatments. These versatile and stylish shades have the power to transform your space instantly, adding both charm and functionality. In this Roman Shades 101 guide, we'll explore why Roman Shades are a fantastic choice for any room, delve into the differences between pleated and flat styles, and introduce you to Everhem's extensive range of textiles and colors.
Roman Shades are the epitome of understated sophistication. They are perfect for high traffic areas, adding a touch of elegance while softening the ambiance. Whether it's your living room, bedroom, or kitchen, Roman Shades have the remarkable ability to create an instant cozy vibe, making any space feel inviting and warm.
When it comes to Roman Shades, you have two primary style options: pleated and flat.
Pleated Roman Shades: Pleated Roman Shades feature structured pleats sewn into the fabric of the shade. These pleats add a tailored and refined look to your windows. They are an excellent choice for formal spaces, adding a touch of classic elegance to your decor.
Flat Roman Shades: In contrast, flat Roman Shades are square across the bottom and lack structured pleats. This style is a bit more casual and relaxed, making it ideal for spaces where you want to strike a balance between style and comfort. Flat Roman Shades are versatile and can seamlessly blend into various design aesthetics.
One of the highlights of Everhem's Roman Shades collection is the vast array of textiles and colors available. With a selection of over 20 different options, you can truly customize your shades to match your unique style and preferences. Here's a glimpse of what you can find:
Solids: Classic and timeless, solid-colored Roman Shades are a versatile choice that can adapt to any decor scheme. Whether you prefer soft neutrals or bold hues, Everhem has the perfect shade for you.
Stripes: Add a touch of visual interest with striped Roman Shades. Vertical or horizontal, subtle or striking, stripes bring a playful and dynamic element to your windows.
Sheers: Sheer Roman Shades are an excellent option when you want to filter natural light while maintaining privacy. These shades create a soft, diffused glow, adding an ethereal quality to your space.
Textures: Everhem offers a variety of textured fabrics for Roman Shades, ranging from subtle weaves to more pronounced patterns. These textures can add depth and character to your windows, creating a tactile experience in your space.
Roman Shades aren't just a pretty addition to your home; they also offer practical benefits. You can choose between light-filtering and blackout options, allowing you to control the amount of natural light and privacy in your room.
Light-Filtering: Light-filtering Roman Shades gently diffuse sunlight, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. They are ideal for living rooms, kitchens, and dining areas, where you want to enjoy the beauty of natural light without glare.
Blackout: If you need complete darkness for quality sleep or to eliminate glare on your television or computer screen, blackout Roman Shades are the solution. They are perfect for bedrooms and media rooms, ensuring a restful and comfortable environment.
At Everhem, we understand that every home is unique. That's why our Roman Shades are fully customizable. You can choose the fabric, color, style, and even the control options that suit your preferences and needs.
Cordless: A sleek and child-safe option, cordless Roman Shades provide a clean and clutter-free look.
Continuous Cord Loop: This option allows you to raise and lower your shades with ease, making it an excellent choice for larger windows.
Motorized: Experience ultimate convenience with motorized Roman Shades. Control your shades with the touch of a button, a remote, or even your smartphone.
In conclusion, Roman Shades are a design powerhouse, offering both aesthetic appeal and practicality. Whether you lean towards the structured elegance of pleated shades or the relaxed charm of flat ones, Everhem's Roman Shades collection provides an extensive range of textiles and colors to choose from.

Whether you're adorning your windows with elegant drapery or outfitting them with stylish Roman Shades or Woven Woods, getting the measurements right ensures a flawless fit that enhances the beauty of your space. In this comprehensive guide, we'll walk you through the steps of measuring correctly for different types of window treatments, so you can transform your home with Everhem's exquisite designs.
Width Matters: Begin by measuring your window's horizontal width from the outside edge to the outside edge. Take measurements at three key points: the top, middle, and bottom of the window. This practice helps account for any irregularities in your window frame.
Calculating Stack: Stack refers to the additional width required for your drapery and hardware beyond the window width. It ensures that your drapery panels won't obstruct the window when opened, creating a sleek and functional look. We recommend a minimum of 10 inches of stack width per side if you have the space.
Vertical Length: Measure the vertical length of your windows from the outside top edge to the floor. Take measurements at three locations: left, center, and right. This ensures that your drapery panels will hang uniformly and create a balanced appearance.
Mounting Height: Consider the additional mounting height above the window. Everhem hardware requires a minimum height of 3 1/2 inches above your window trim for proper installation. However, if space allows, we recommend selecting 10 inches above the top of the window frame. This ensures your window treatments have the room to shine.
Window Frame Width: For inside mount Roman Shades or Woven Woods, measure the inside edges of the window frame width at three locations. Round down to the nearest 1/8 of an inch and record these measurements. Precision here ensures a snug fit within the window frame.
Window Frame Length: Measure the inside edges of the window frame length at three points and round down to the nearest 1/8 of an inch. Consistency in measurement is essential for even and well-fitted shades.
Consider Depth: The depth of your window determines which Custom Control you can choose for your Inside Mount shade. Measure the flat mounting surface available on your window, rounding down to the nearest 1/4 inch. This information helps in selecting the right shade control.
Window Frame Width: For outside mount shades, measure the outside edges of the window frame width at three locations. Round up to the nearest 1/8 of an inch. To ensure complete window coverage, add about 2 inches to the total width measurements, accounting for your desired additional width.
Window Frame Length: Measure the outside edges of the window frame length in three places and round up to the nearest 1/8 of an inch. To guarantee full coverage once mounted on the wall, add 5 inches to the total height of your shade. Be sure to account for your desired additional mounting height.
Wall Mounting Above Window: A recommended height of 5 inches above the window trim.
Door Mounting: Suggested height is 2 inches above the window.
Window Trim Mounting: No additional mounting height is required, but ensure you have 2 inches of flat mounting surface on the trim itself.
Please Note: If you select Shade Operation Front and are mounting on drywall above the window, your window trim's depth should be less than 2 1/2 inches. If the depth exceeds 2 1/2 inches, we suggest selecting Shade Operation Back for a seamless fit.

When it comes to your little ones, creating a nursery that is calming and safe is a top priority. Window treatments can play an important part in making sure nap time is as restful as it can be. Everhem has a few tips to offer you when shopping for the best options. Besides layered window treatments (Blackout Roman Shades paired with Blackout Drapery), Choosing Front Shade Operation could also be an option in helping block light for your nursery.
Choosing Front Shade Operation means the Shade will lie closer to the window's glass when closed to help prevent any light leaking through the sides of the shade. The cord of the shade will be visible when drawn fully closed for easy access and a valance will be added.
Front Shade Operation is an option for both Everhem Roman Shades and Woven Woods. You'll also still have the ability choose whether you'd like inside or outside mounting. Completely customize your window treatments all from the Everhem website and create a nursery that will help your baby (and you) get some much needed rest!
