A Beautiful Balance of Form and Function

What makes roman shades unique is their ability to soften a space while still looking structured. The fold design creates depth and elegance whether raised or lowered. When drawn up, the fabric stacks evenly and neatly. When down, it hangs in smooth lines that add warmth and balance. With options like linen, cotton, and blends, each shade introduces subtle texture into your room. Roman shades work well on their own or layered under drapes, offering both form and function in one seamless treatment.

Versatility That Fits Any Room

From the living room to the kitchen, roman shades adapt easily to any space. In bedrooms, they bring cozy comfort and privacy. In kitchens, they offer simple styles without bulk. For French doors or sliding patio doors, custom sizing ensures a perfect fit that won’t get in the way. They even work beautifully in more challenging spaces like bay windows or arched frames. The soft fabric finish adds an elevated look without overpowering the room. Whether you want neutral tones or bold patterns, roman shades make every space feel finished.

Expert Tips to Maximize Style and Performance

When selecting roman shades, start with the room’s purpose. For restful spaces, opt for soft neutrals or room-darkening fabrics. For high-traffic areas, choose easy-to-clean materials. If your room has architectural features like arches or French doors, request custom sizing to ensure your shades move freely and fit well. Use subtle patterns to add interest without overwhelming the space. And always test swatches in your own lighting. Natural light can change how fabric looks. A well-chosen roman shade not only completes your window it anchors your entire space.

FAQ’S

How are Roman Shades different than other shades?

The main difference is how the fabric folds up when raised, lending to its destictive look. Narural Shades also do this, making them technically Natural Roman Shades.

What is the difference between inside mount and outside mount Roman shades?

Like all shades and blinds, inside mount refers to mounting the shade within the windows trim, and outside refers to mounting on the wall above the window. The main difference is that the outside mount completely covers the entire window ( though sometimes the sill and bottom apron are left visible ), and inside mount leaves your trim exposed. Outside mounting can give you more privacy and better light control. Outside mounting also utilizes the wall space above to park the shade on, blocking much less of the window when raised. Inside mount is considered a cleaner look, but the shade can only be raised so far, leaving the folded up shade blocking some of your view and light.

Are there top down Roman shades?

If you are interested in a top down treatment, we suggest looking at Honeycomb shades.
