Roman Shades
The tailored softness of fabric, in a clean, space-saving shade.
Roman shades give you the warmth of fabric with the clean footprint of a shade. They sit close to the window, fold up neatly, and look beautiful on their own or under drapery panels. A customer working with expensive one-of-a-kind fabrics called the Roman shades and drapes we made for her the most beautiful she had ever seen, magazine quality.
A Roman shade is a fabric window covering that draws up into horizontal folds as it raises. Styles include flat, relaxed, and hobbled folds, and shades can be lined, interlined, or blackout-lined for light control.

We build the fold style that suits your room, from crisp flat panels to soft relaxed curves.
Any of our fabrics
Silk, linen, and designer prints all make stunning Roman shades. We can also blackout-line them for bedrooms.
Layer under drapery
Roman shades pair beautifully under drapery panels for a finished, layered window.

And the fabrics are not run of the mill, they're interesting. You can have…”
Roman Shades, answered.
Yes. We offer privacy linings, interlinings for body, and full blackout linings depending on the room.
They are. Their compact, tailored look works well in kitchens, baths, and any window where full drapery would be too much.
