Roman shades, sometime referred to as Roman blinds, offer a unique solution for those looking for a blend between a curtain and a shade. Roman shades are made of fabric but built for precise light control to function like a shade.
Because they are made of fabric, Roman blinds can be customized to fit with any décor for most rooms. Options for patterns range from more simplistic stripes or solids up to more elaborate floral and decorative choices.

- Motorized Lift: With a motorized lift upgrade, your Roman shades can be raised or lowered at the push of a button..

While Roman shades are a great option for window coverings, they may not be the perfect option for everyone or for every room. A few things to consider:
- Roman blinds have a tall stack when fully raised, which can obstruct part of the view even when lifted up.
- The mechanisms and folds require a certain minimum window depth to hang properly; be sure to check depth requirements if you are planning an inside mount.
- Roman shades are made from fabric, and therefore not ideal in areas of high moisture such as a bathroom.
