Specifications
The difference
Why Choose Roman Shades?
Roman shades bring the soft, layered look of custom drapery with the tidy function of a shade. When raised, the fabric stacks into neat folds; when lowered, it lays flat like a framed panel - adding warmth, texture, and a designer finish to any room.
Soft, Designer Look
The folded fabric adds depth and warmth that hard blinds can't match. Choose from linens, cottons, and textured weaves in 150+ fabrics to create a tailored, high-end look in any space.
Fold Styles to Suit Your Space
Pick flat folds for a crisp, modern line, hobbled folds for a fuller, more traditional cascade, or relaxed folds for a soft, casual drape. Each is custom-sewn to your window.
Light Control & Insulation
Add a privacy or blackout lining to control light and boost insulation. Light-filtering options gently diffuse daylight, while blackout linings block up to 99% of light - perfect for bedrooms and media rooms.
Custom-Made & Long-Lasting
Every Roman shade is measured and sewn to your exact window. Quality fabrics and aluminum hardware are built to operate smoothly and hold their crisp folds for years.
Roman Shades in Every Room

Living & Dining Rooms

Bedrooms & Nurseries
Blackout-lined Roman shades block up to 99% of light for deeper sleep, while the soft folds keep the room feeling calm and cozy. Pair with motorization for quiet, cord-free operation.

Tailored flat folds create a clean, focused backdrop and reduce screen glare, giving your workspace a polished, put-together look.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our roman shades.
What Is the Difference Between Roman Shades and Roller Shades?
Roller shades use a flat fabric panel that rolls around a tube at the top. Roman shades are made from soft fabric that folds into horizontal pleats as they rise. Roman shades offer a softer, more decorative, drapery-like look, while roller shades give a sleek, minimal finish.
Are Roman Shades Good for Bedrooms?
Yes. With a blackout lining, Roman shades block up to 99% of light for restful sleep, and the layered fabric adds insulation and a warm, cozy feel. They are one of our most popular bedroom choices.
What Fold Styles Are Available?
We offer flat folds for crisp, modern lines, hobbled or teardrop folds for a fuller, cascading look, and relaxed folds for a soft, casual drape. We'll help you choose the style that best suits your décor during your consultation.
Can Roman Shades Be Motorized?
Yes. We offer Somfy and Ronco motors for Roman shades, controlled by remote, wall switch, smartphone app, or voice assistant. Battery-powered and hardwired options are available.
How Do I Clean Roman Shades?
Regular light vacuuming with a brush attachment keeps them fresh. For spots, gently blot with a mild cleaner. Many of our fabrics are treated to resist dust and stains, and we'll recommend the best care for your chosen fabric.
Can I See Fabric Samples Before Ordering?
Yes. We bring fabric samples to your home during your free design consultation, so you can see and feel every option in your own lighting and compare colours against your existing décor.
