Roman Shades offer the elegance of fabric with the soft feel of traditional window treatments. These window treatments offer both privacy and light control while exhibiting the soft appeal of folded fabric.
Traditionally, Roman shades have required additional work to make them fold appropriately when raised or lowered. Recent changes in construction, however, have led to design improvements and most Roman shades are lowered and raised without any problem. Since they come in a variety of light filtering options, consumers have the flexibility of choosing Roman shades that either completely block light or filter it for improved ambiance.
Roman shadesusually come in two styles,FlatandTeardrop. With the flat style, the shade lays flat against the window for a traditional look while the teardrop/hobbled style leaves the fabric folded or bunched at regular intervals to create a shuttered or blind effect.
Roman shades provide a softer touch to traditional décor and are usually chosen because of the gentle folds of fabric that define this type of window covering. Since they come in a wide variety of fabrics, colors, and privacy options, most consumers find thatRoman Blindsare a reliable alternative to conventional models.
