I’m planning to replace the heavy (and dated) drapes in my living room with flat Roman shades. I have a triple window with molding separating the top 2/3 from the bottom of each window.
I want to have folds that lie right on this molding when the shades are down; not planning to cover the bottoms of the windows. My question is how much longer than the distance to the folds do I want the shades to measure so that the folds won’t look skimpy? I’d appreciate any ideas. And are flat shades the best Roman style to use here? Thanks.
