Roman Shades
Soft, cascading fabric folds that add warmth and sophistication.
Roman shades combine the softness of drapery with the clean functionality of a shade. When raised, the fabric gathers into elegant horizontal folds; when lowered, it lies flat for a polished, tailored appearance. Available in flat, hobbled, and relaxed fold styles.

Elegant Fold Styles
Choose from three distinct fold styles: flat for a clean, modern look; hobbled (teardrop) for soft cascading folds; or relaxed for a gentle, curved bottom edge.
Fabric as Art
Roman shades showcase your chosen fabric beautifully — the flat expanse when lowered acts as a textile canvas, making them ideal for statement patterns, textures, and colors.
Light & Privacy Control
Layer with sheer or blackout linings to control exactly how much light enters your space. Top-down/bottom-up options provide privacy while admitting light from above.
Tailored Precision
Each shade is custom-measured and constructed with precision-engineered lift systems for smooth, even operation and a perfectly level bottom rail.
The timeless elegance of fabric, beautifully structured.

Frequently Asked Questions
What fold style should I choose?
Flat-fold roman shades offer the cleanest, most modern look. Hobbled (teardrop) folds add soft dimension and are the most traditional. Relaxed folds create a gentle swag at the bottom for a casual, elegant aesthetic.
Can roman shades be blackout?
Yes. We offer blackout lining options that provide complete room darkening — ideal for bedrooms, nurseries, and media rooms.
Are roman shades suitable for large windows?
Roman shades work beautifully on windows up to 120″ wide. For very large windows, we can create multiple coordinated shades mounted on a single headrail for a seamless look.
How do I clean roman shades?
Most roman shades can be vacuumed with a brush attachment or spot-cleaned. Some fabric options are also dry-cleanable. We recommend professional cleaning for silk and velvet fabrics.
Can roman shades be motorized?
Yes. Our motorized roman shades operate with quiet, precise lift systems and integrate with major smart home platforms.
