Pleats are permanent folds that come on the fabric which are pressed into the fabric body. Pleated shades are a good solution to give you the right amount of light while also providing a sheer or semi-sheer feel to the blinds. They can enhance their quality depending on your choice by adding liners to traditional pleated blinds. They come in rich colors and add a statement to the room and to the decor. While they don't hold their own against the regular cellular shades they are good alternative to them on the cost effect issue while they do not provide so much versatility as the cellular shades they make do in texture and other departments of function.
Made mostly of soft fabric these offer a stylish yet simple and functional solution to window treatments without all the trappings of other cost included shades. They filter natural light and if the light control needs to be higher then liners can be added to suit your style. They come in a variety of colors and fold neatly when raised up. They come with cords since they are a single layer of fabric so the cords can be one compromise while they score on the budget scale.
