Roller Blind Art



Roller Blind Art



LONGING  FOR A GREAT VIEW FROM YOUR WINDOW?

Have you ever longed for a great view from your window? Does your window face a brick wall? Or worse, someone else's window? Does your apartment or condo look out onto a factory, a busy highway or road? OR maybe just onto a really, boring view of nothing in particular? 

Maybe it is time to change your view. And you can.

With the right illustration placed on a roller blind , the view that you have always wanted, can be yours. 

What do you really want to look at? Hawaii? A jungle in South America? One of the worlds best beaches? What about a seascape or a view of the Rockies? Maybe a peaceful garden or even a field of flowers? What about a Zen garden?

ILLUSTRATED ROLLER BLINDS

For the more adventurous there are also roller shades that are copies of Impressionist paintings. Vincent Van Gogh, Renoir, Monet, all suddenly at your window, instead of that man who is always smoking on his balcony.

IMAGINE

Your roller shade then becomes "One of a kind".

It becomes a piece of Art, instead of a blank wall. It becomes a painting instead of your neighbour's window. It becomes something cheerful instead of gloomy. 

Pull down that roller shade and suddenly instead of a frozen wasteland you are looking at a tropical paradise. This is what I have always dreamed of having at the window. 

I live in Canada where the winters are long, long, far too long and dark, dark, far too dark. A simple illustrated roller blind can bring summer back in the middle of winter. 



Certainly something that enlivens our perspective is much needed. This year, 2020 has meant that  travelling to Florida or Arizona is not on the menu for awhile. Even going to the beach is fraught with anxiety. 


I had the sense that a great view, maybe a beautiful seascape might rescue my spirit. 

The pictures on this blog post are a small example of what is available to you from a medium sized Quebec company in Sherbrooke, Quebec. There are hundreds of choices. I would encourage you to see for yourself by following the website, at https://mamurale.com/

Changing the world of shades one brilliant view at a time is clearly a revolutionary step. All because manufacturing processes have advanced. What couldn't be done just a little while ago, is now a whole new world of creation.

Mamurale creates other products too, murals for walls, floor coverings, promotional items as well as roller shades. 

Given that most blinds, shades and window coverings are white, off white or grey these days, having a shade with colors and design take window coverings into a totally different world. 

Having art at the window makes me almost happy to stay home. 

Let the shade revolution begin.

Trapezoid or Triangular Window Coverings

Trapezoid or Triangular Window Coverings A wall of windows is always a challenge to cover. Unusually shaped windows that are trapezoids or triangles is a triple challenge.  Of course Motorization is the obvious answer. With motorization of a cellular style blind, dramatic windows turn into a theatrical event par none.  The touch of a button reveals the outdoors, or delivers much needed  privacy. The leader in the industry of these singularly shaped blind coverings, offers a unique product, that can be adapted to almost any angled window. In the past windows like this  were nearly impossible to cover beautifully.  Out of Colorado, they are, as is typical of innovators, a small but agile company. These products are unmatchable in the window covering industry . In my experience writing about innovations and their innovators, the best innovations often come out of the smaller centres and smaller companies.  Remember the name Blind Corners and Curves. Small but increasingly MIG

What to do with those arched windows? Palladian Windows and their nineteenth century cousins, eyebrow arches are beautiful, letting in lots of light and warmth. Sometimes those beautifully curved arches let in too much light, heating up the house, or making the most intimate areas of the home just a little too visible to others. We all need a certain amount of privacy. They are great looking windows but they can be problematic and difficult to cover without a great deal of expense. Most of these window covering ideas are gleaned from various sources. They will take a bit of time and energy to re-create. Happily, each project lets you choose exactly the colours, prints, or degree of coverage you need. Imagine creating your own  custom blind by and for your own unique circumstances. Here are a few links to resources for making those window coverings. http://www.ehow.com/how_6471115_arched-drapery-do-yourself-instructions.html Japanese Lace Paper or other decorativ
