What Are Roman Shades?

I love using Roman shades in my client's homes. They are functional, but there is no better way to get a professionally designed showcase home look. They bring style and softness to the room while pulling everything together; they are like adding a touch of jewelry. There are many ways to achieve the look you want with Roman shades by using different fabric textures and colors. Using beautifully embroidered silk in the master bedroom, you can design a romantic getaway; canvas or cotton shades with contrasting banding look excellent in children's rooms and playrooms. You can even get them in a woven wood material that allows you to have a more organic or beach feel. The beauty of Roman shades is when they're entirely lifted out of your window; not only do you maintain your view, but they create the look of a designer valance. If you love that look and you want to keep it all of the time, even when the shade is down, use the hobbled Roman shade style, and it will look the same when it's down as when it's up. The only way to wow your friends even more is by adding drapery panels on each side to frame its beauty! I would highly suggest considering Roman shades for your next window purchase.
