Try Roman Shade Treatments
Some Roman shades are available with privacy ratings of low, medium or high. A low privacy rating pertains to Roman shades that have a light, airy covering on the windows, and screen out bright light while you still enjoy the view. The medium rating contains fabrics which screen bright sunlight to a certain extent and will protect your furnishings from the harmful effects of sunlight. If you select dark fabrics, they will provide room darkening qualities, while lighter fabrics will soften and diffuse the effects of the sunlight. There will be a moderate amount of privacy at night, however, silhouettes of both people and objects may be visible. A high rating will ensure total privacy during daylight and nighttime hours, even with light colored fabrics. Roman shades that contain this rating will also protect your furnishings from harmful sunlight.
