Roman Shades can be attached alone, with pole-mounted draperies or with top treatments such as upholstered cornices or tailored kick pleat valances.

Types & Styles of Roman Shades

There are many choices to make when purchasing Roman Shades, including style, appropriate lining choice, operating system and the combination of fabrics & trims to compliment your room’s deco.

You will find that Roman Shades can be used in every single room of your home. People tend to like a burnout, sheer fabric in the kitchen so that the sunlight is diffused but you can still maintaining a view. Dining and living rooms require privacy, so we recommend lined and interlined silks for privacy. Bedrooms and media rooms can always benefit from Roman Shades with blackout lining for complete light blocking.
