Abstract

A three dimensional cellular shade (20) attached to a roller (21). The cells (28) of the shade (20) expand outward as the shade (20) is unrolled. The shade (20) is made from two sheets of fabric (22, 24). One of the fabrics (24) is decorative. The other fabric (22) is more functional. The decorative fabric (24) is longer in length than the functional fabric (22). The two fabrics (22, 24) are joined together along a plurality of joints (26) extending down the length of the shade (20). These joints (26) are uniformly displaced from one another. The ratio of decorative fabric (24) to functional fabric (22) between any two joints (26) is greater than one. This ratio is important for ensuring that the cells will expand outward as the shade (20) is unrolled.
