A continuous, graceful fabric face.
Classic Roman shades use a single piece of fabric for a streamlined look. They bring a soft, structured elegance to your window, unlike the rigid feel of a standard roller shade.

A closer look
Fold styles define your room's character.
The way a shade folds changes the mood of a room. Whether it is flat or looped, choose a style that complements your existing furniture and keeps the window feeling intentional.
Schedule a free consultationFlat pleats for quiet elegance.
Flat pleats offer a clean, minimalist profile. They sit subtly against the window, providing a restrained, modern aesthetic that feels light and open without adding unnecessary bulk to your space.
Cascading loops for added depth.
Looped shades introduce a soft, dimensional feel with their cascading folds. This style adds warmth and texture, making the window a gentle focal point that layers beautifully with other home textiles.
Classic versus Tailored Roman styles.
Classic Roman shades offer a timeless, clean-lined construction. Tailored styles include decorative variations like relaxed folds.
We help you compare both to see which look aligns best with your home's personality.

Control your light with soft fabric.
Roman shades allow you to soften the sun while maintaining your privacy. We guide you through fabric textures that filter light beautifully for a calm, ambient room at any hour.
Sheer and light-filtering options.
Sheer fabrics let the sunlight dance softly through, while light-filtering options offer more privacy without turning the room dark. Choose based on how the light shifts in your room throughout the day.
Room-darkening for restful spaces.
A room-darkening fabric is a great choice for bedrooms needing quiet, private sleep. We work with you to account for mounting and coverage, ensuring the most effective light control possible.
Classic fabric or natural weaves.
Classic fabrics provide a smooth, uniform appearance, while natural woven materials add organic texture. Each brings a different feel to the room, so we suggest viewing samples in your home's light.

Give your folds room to gather.
Think about how the shade looks when raised. The way it gathers at the top affects the view and light, so we plan for the stack height to suit your window.
Check the raised fabric stack.
When the shade is raised, consider how much of the glass is covered by the folded fabric. We help you choose the right stack height for your window size and recess.
Plan lining and mounting together.
Pairing the right lining with your chosen mount helps manage privacy and light. We look at the whole picture to make sure your space feels exactly how you want it to.
Layer with custom drapery.
Classic Roman shades layer beautifully with our custom drapery. Use shades for privacy and drapes for a touch of elegance, creating a flexible, sophisticated look that fits your home perfectly.
