Affordable textured jute-like roller shades - as seen in TIDBITS master bedroom reveal.

Custom-sized, budget-friendly roller shades are a great addition to your home! The jute-like textured window shades we installed in our Master Bedroom bay window give our room an elevated look that we love.

Now, before you get too excited – this post is not my master bedroom reveal. It is the next best thing.

To see our bedroom full reveal, visit this blog post.

ROLLER BLINDS FOR LARGE WINDOWS

Today—I want to devote this topic to these oh-so-lovely affordable textured jute-like roller vertical blinds from Blindsgalore.com that have great light control and are easy to clean and wash.

Along with a few other details, centered on the window frame.

And perhaps I’ll throw in the details of this DIY Pillow, and yummy, fluffy, texture-y, throw blanket—from Carmel Decor.

If you want to spice up your bedroom with centered pieces, the items I’ll be mentioning are worth a try! From window coverings, DIY upcycled desks, to lamps, and many more. Your master bedroom will come to life in no time.

This dresser/desk (we call it a “dresk”) is an old, hand-me-down, somebody-save-me piece of furniture that we were so happy to receive.

I might also mention the sparkly chandelier from Home Depot.

And the $5.00 curtain rod we DIY’ed and painted from a piece of electrical conduit from Home Depot. And the clearance fabric I found at Joanne’s made 4 curtain panels for $30.00.

But, I think I’ll mostly talk about how much improved our master bedroom is from the BEFORE IMAGE.

And how I feel like a sleeping princess each time I wake up (except with 4 kids jumping all over me).

I just hope you’ll check out the rest of the room – there is so much more to talk about 😉

For now, let’s talk a bit more about the roller shades fabric. I had the great honor to be sponsored by Blindsgalore.com for this product, and I am thrilled to introduce you to this specific line of textured jute-like roller shades.  

They had me hooked the moment I saw them on their site. It is the convenience and affordability of roller shades—and the textured beauty of jute blinds—all in one. They come from the specific line called “Kellie Clements Simply Chic Roller Shades: Textured“.

They come in many colors and textures, meant to look like the natural fibers it’s inspired from. I choose the “Jute Filigree” variety, which pairs beautifully with the surrounding whites and blues. If you are on the market for blinds, shades, drapery, or shutters—I highly recommend checking out blindsgalore.com.  

They have plenty of selections to choose from, fit for your needs. Whether you want blackout roller shades, roman shades, custom drapery, wood blinds, or vinyl shutters, they have everything for your window needs!

From all my research ordering online for blinds, this site was the most user-friendly—hands down. There are so many options, it really can be an overwhelming task to choose the right window blinds for you.

These shades are even prettier in person and I am delighted with the color styles and look that these light filtering window shades offer.

This “dresk” is from a neighbor and gracefully saved by my husband.

It looked like this to start with. (Picture courtesy goes to my husband, who left the clutter in the background and the one-year-old hand ready to beat the furniture).

I wanted it to take up a little less visual space, and have the added benefit of being able to sit at it and do some reading—and not to mention a few layers of 100-year-old paint jobs. After some handy reconstruction and some horrid paint-eating chemicals, he had it ready for me to re-paint to my liking.

I left the top, a lovely antique wood color as it is, and used Rust-oleum Chalk paint (linen color) for the body.

Now she is a real functional beauty and only needs a few things on top to take center stage in the bedroom.

Like a plant from the grocery store—on top of some boxwood from the garden—on top of an old box from grandpa’s junkyard.

And of course – THE LAMP.

Bay Window Blinds-16
Jute-like Roller Shades

Graciously provided by Carmel Decor, and could be a total splurge and major statement for any room. (Exact product is unavailable for now, but other color options are available, HERE).

You could also shop Carmel Decor for blanket throws, like THIS one below.

Throw it in a .75 cent thrift store basket – and you’ve got yourself some high style! To make the pillow cover, I discovered this cotton image, HERE, on Pinterest. I used my favorite ink transfer technique I shared HERE.  

And used the steps HERE to make a pillow cover. I used a bleached drop cloth, which I give detailed instructions for HERE.

Just look at how gorgeous these all turned out! We enjoyed crafting this and seeing the full picture come alive in front of our eyes. I hope this inspired you and gave you plenty of bedroom decor ideas.

I think that about covers the details I wanted to discuss in this post.

Thanks for visiting!

As always – I would love your thoughts and opinions! They are so valuable to me. What do you think of the faux jute blinds?  

Is the lamp too heavy for the space – or do you think it rocks?!! What would you have done to save the dresser? Questions for me? Ask!

    FYI I ordered these shades and they are not textured. They are printed on vinyl, and there is no texture at all. The pattern repeats every 4 or 6 inches, so if she were to pull the shades all the way down in the blog you’d see it repeating way too much. It’s also light filtering, but are essentially blackout, which isn’t what we wanted at all. No light gets through, but light will get “around” them on the sides. The company will only let you exchange (not return) up to 4 items per household after you show proof of donation (can’t ship back b/c of COVID policies), but can’t exceed the price of the original item with the exchange. Be cautious, order all sorts of samples, and understand the “guarantee” before you buy.

    Love this look. Talk to me more about the curtain rod made from electrical conduit. Specifically how you connected them at the places where your have angles. I have a similar wall in our master bedroom that has 5 windows and each window is on a different angle to make a semi-circle on that wall. We have blind but I can’t figure out how to put up a curtain rod. Thanks!

    does anyone know if the regular valance was used or the one you have to order additionally? It is hard to tell from the photo.

    Good morning Cami,
    Can you please tell me what color blinds you chose? I ordered samples and can’t really tell which one you used. Also I don’t see any responses to the questions posted. Are your replys not displayed for a reason?
    Thank you!

      Since she doesn’t reply to comments, I thought I’d point out that above she writes ” I choose the “Jute Filigree” variety”. So the color is Filigree.

    I just wanted to warn people about this product as to my recent experience. The shades are pretty, but I’ve had a horrible time with customer service. Be careful choosing your mounting options. We did inside mount based on the websites directions. Their “inside” mount is actually top mounted and they stated we should have choose “side” mount which was not an option given when going through the process. Now we can’t hang the shades they sent and they want us to send them back at our expense to exchange them. Given that their instructions are lacking I feel this is unfair and will not be ordering anymore window coverings from them in the future because of this experience. If you are going to order them do yourself a favor and call your order in because the website does not provide enough details.

      Hi, I also love the color of these blinds, but I must warn you. I had something similar years ago above my kitchen sink ended up swopping it out as they are hard to clean. The pull cord was string which was also skanky.

    Cami,
    Did you do the blackout option in shades or just light filtering? We only have one window in our master and other bedrooms but I’m wondering how bright the light filtering shades remain in sunlight.

    I used to be all about color, but I’m really starting to feel the coolness and crispness of white on white. It’s really grown on me this past year. This room is just a little piece of heaven on earth. Beautiful!
