Scene Decorative

can you paint or put decals on roller shades?

i want to put them in my baby’s room, which is quite elaborately painted… so i want to paint the shades or put decals on them (or buy them decorative) to match the room’s theme & look like they’re “scenes” out the windows…

You can decorate your shades with stencil paint, which is a very thick oil-based paint. It will be more flexible than any other paint. In fact, my 9-year old neice just did her shades — she got some really nice stencils, a couple of paint colors, a stencil pouncing brush, and merrily went to town. Looks like a pro did it! Fabulous! Then, she went on to stencil her dresser, a border around her room, and I think she’s moved on to the ductwork in the basement… Stencil paints can be used on any material effectively. (WARNING!!!!! Stenciling can be addictive!!!!)

Decals will start to unstick quickly, and wrinkle. Most other paints (acrylics) and the like can be treated with a substance that will make it a “fabric” paint, but this is really only suitable on non-plastic shades.

Another alternative is to find a swath of fabric with a scene, cut the lower portion of your shade, and sew on the fabric. This will make the shade bulkier when rolled up, but can look really cool (I did this in my dining room (English cottage and garden scene) during my Country Cottage phase). I did this with recycled shades (someone was throwing them out =]) because it seemed silly to pay for new shades when all I really wanted was the roller and the mechanism.
