I love Roman shades. Because they are aesthetically beautiful, energy efficient, and very functional, I find them to be a great choice for many of my clients. Also, Roman shades have the ability to enhance many different decorating styles. They have clean lines and a classic look. There are several different styles of Roman shades and In this post, I will share some of the most popular styles, including their unique characteristics. Learn why these are our favorite styles of Roman shades for your home
Style #1: The Flat Roman Shade
The Flat Roman Shade is one of our most popular styles. It is uncluttered, sleek, simple, and very versatile. When lowered, it has a flat or smooth appearance and neatly folds when raised. Because of the flat style, this style of shade works beautifully with both solid and print fabrics.
Style #2: The Relaxed Roman Shade
The Relaxed Roman Shade, with its signature curve, gives your window a soft, elegant look that can be slightly more casual depending on the fabric choice. When raised, these shades create a beautiful bow at the bottom. They appear more soft and casual with a more flowing, laid-back look. Please use these shades in areas of the home that do not require raising and lowering the shades often. They will need some restyling after raising.
Style #3: The Hobbled Roman Shade
Another beautiful style of Roman is the Hobbled Roman shade. Unlike the flat Roman these have excess fabric between each pleat to maintain their folds in the fabric even when fully extended. The folds remain in place, creating a soft ripple effect. They provide an elegant, textured look that adds dimension, volume, and depth. These are great for more formal settings.
Style #4: The Roman Shade Valance
The Roman Shade valance is a stationary valance made to look like a Roman shade, yet it costs a fraction of a Roman shade. We suggest using it alone as a top treatment or using it over other window treatments. It is excellent for hiding hardware and adding a polished look over other treatments. In this situation, it adds color, texture, and interest while drawing the eye up in a room.
