Roman Shades

Legendary for its contributions to architecture and design, the Roman Empire left a lasting impression on Western culture and beauty. Today’s Roman shades are modeled after the ancient form used by the Romans, and are still classic and elegant. Roman shades are either teardrop shaped or flat, and the fabric folds to the top as it is gathered. Classic teardrop-shaped versions of the Roman shade feature overlapping fabric when the shade is lowered, while the flat version has no fold when it is lowered.

If you have chosen Roman shades, be sure to choose the version that complements the tone of your room. Flat Roman shades complement a more formal setting, while the teardrop-shaped Roman shades offer a more casual feel. Roman shades are an excellent option to use in combination with other window treatments.

The choice of fabric can also have an effect on the shade’s formality. Roman shades feature linen weaves, silk, satin, mesh, and marbled designs. Roman shades also have a serene, light-filtering effect that will enhance the beauty of a room. Filtered light is the cheapest way to achieve instant elegance.

One enduring reason for their popularity is the ease with which Roman shades can be cleaned. They are far more resistant to dust than many other blinds and shades. Decorating Depot has an extensive and gorgeous selection of custom Roman shades. Add a bit of classic beauty to your home!
