FAQS

Are Roman Shades Good for Kitchen or Bathrooms?

Roman shades using traditional fabrics are not a good use case for humid environments like kitchens and bathrooms. Selecting fabrics that will not collect dust or develop mold due to dampness is imperative in kitchens and bathrooms. Kitchen window treatments tend to soak up oils and grease, eventually caking dust on them. It is essential to clean the grime and grease regularly so that your shades maintain cleanliness.

Are Roman Shades Energy Efficient?

Light-filtering or blackout liner fabrics are available to help control light and protect privacy for every room of your home. Most importantly, these energy-efficient window shades keep warm air in during the winter months and cooler air during the summer, enhancing energy efficiency.

Can You Hang Roman Shades Over Blinds?

Yes, you can hang roman shades over blinds. Due to how blinds and roman shades are mounted, when you consider pairing them, one will need to mount inside the window frame, and the others are mounted outside the window frame. Due to the soft aesthetic of roman shades, they are more commonly paired with drapes or curtains.

How Do Roman Shades Work?

The Roman shade has a base bar, and each front pleat has a ring or bar on the backside of the fabric for the cord of the lift mechanism to pass through. When the roman shade is lifted, each ring or bar comes into contact with the bar at the base of the shade, creating a collapsed folded shade. When the shade is entirely open, it appears flat against the window.

How To Clean Roman Shades

Maintaining clean window treatments is essential to the longevity of the window treatment. For roman shades, cleaning helps avoid stains from setting and ensures that the fabric is kept beautiful for years to come. Roman shades can be constructed with a large variety of fabric choices. Review the fabric type for each window treatment to ensure that the cleaning regiment will not harm the fabric. It is suggested that the shades be vacuumed weekly with an upholstery brush attachment or dusted with a microfiber cloth or new duster. In addition, to prevent a spill or stain from setting, immediately blot the fabric with club soda and a cloth.

Why Roman shades?

Roman shades are one of the most elegant window treatment solutions. Roman shades are installed vertically so that when the shade is open, the fabric stacks evenly, and when the shade is closed, it is visibly smooth. Roman shades can be installed cordless, motorized, or traditionally with cords. Roman shades can complement any interior space in your home. There are various styles, including flat, cascade, relaxed, tulip, and pleated. This style shade can be layered with other window treatments and have a liner for additional UV protection or blackout functionality.

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.
