Roman Shades

Timeless Style

Roman shades have a timeless style that will never disappear like a trendy fashion. They have been around for decades and don’t ever cycle in and out of popularity as some of the latest trends. Choosing your fabric for Roman shades will extend the life, as it will never go out of style.

Adding Softness

You can choose from flat Roman shades or a pleated style in the more traditional types to either lie flat on your window or have soft pleats when they are down. If you choose to add softness to a window, you can select from a wide assortment of roman styles:  eg.classic, hobbled, relaxed, knife pleated and pleated London.

Lighting Control and Energy Savings

Roman shades are the ultimate in lighting control because you can choose the fabric thickness from the thinnest sheers to the thickest, luxurious fabrics to block all the light out of a window. When Roman shades are down, they trap the heat from a window in the summer next to the window and don’t allow it into the room. This translates to a lot of energy savings in your home. Close-knit weaves with a liner will be room darkening. Liners can be made of blackout material or thermal liners for additional energy efficiency.

Flexibility

Roman shades are a great choice for a window treatment all on their own; however, you can also pair them with drapes, curtains or any style of window topper to add layers to a window. Roman shades make a great backdrop to sheer or elaborate curtains. When closed, Roman shades can make a dramatic focal point in any room with the fabric you choose.

Abundant Styles

You have complete control over your lighting with Roman shades. You can choose a traditional shade or a top down/bottom up option. This allows you to move the bottom up and the top down to block sunlight from the top or bottom of a window. You can even use this in both directions at the same time. This is the most in flexibility to control how the sunlight filters into the room.
