Roman Shades: Elegant and Modern

September 17, 2022

Roman shades are classic but fit modern homes too. When raised, they fold up neatly. When lowered, they look like a smooth piece of fabric, adding softness to a room. You can choose from many fabrics, including blackout and light-filtering options. Whether you like a simple flat design or soft folds, Roman shades add elegance to any space.

A History of Design

Roman shades started in ancient Rome to block dust and heat. Today, they are stylish window treatments. The main idea is simple: a single piece of fabric that raises and lowers. This gives a clean look that is softer than blinds with slats.

Customize Your Shades

You can make Roman shades look exactly how you want. The fabric choice changes everything:

• Formal: Use silk or velvet for a luxurious look.
• Casual: Use linen or cotton for a relaxed feel.

There are also different styles:

• Flat Roman Shade: Smooth and modern when lowered.
• Soft Fold (Hobbled): Gentle folds that add texture.

Modern Features

Modern Roman shades work well for any need. You can add a blackout lining for bedrooms or a light-filtering lining for living rooms. A thermal lining can help save energy.

For safety and ease, you can choose cordless or motorized options. Motorized shades let you control them with a remote or smart home app.
