Roman Shades

Roman Shades have been a mainstay for custom window treatments since, well, the ancient Roman times! Saying the phrase “Roman Shades” does not really define what the finished product will be. Roman shades is a category that requires proper guidance and insight from and experienced window treatment professional. Roman shades can be created by using a variety of materials from fine fabrics to natural weaves and woven type materials.

Custom Roman Shades are typically produced using materials such as cotton, silks, canvass and combinations of these. Many materials are polyester based as well as rayon. These are typically considered to be the best in the Roman shade family. True custom Roman shades offer many finished styles that offer the consumer an opportunity to find the perfect style to match your homes décor. Here are just a few of the most popular today:

Classic Roman Shade

The Classic Roman is thee most popular as is has concealed support rods at every pleat to fold neater and lie flatter than other flat shades. This style works well with most fabrics and is highly recommended for fabrics with a pattern.

Hobbled Shade

Fuller in body, this style keeps its soft folds even when lowered. Hobbled Roman works best for solid and textured fabrics. NOT recommended with a pattern that will be interrupted by the folds. These tend to look best in deep set windows where the folds are concealed by the window itself. Typically a little more expensive as additional material is needed to create this full bodied look.
