SmartWings Motorized Roman Shades 100% Blackout

Roman Shades

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.

Why Choose Roman Shades?

Roman shades are the perfect choice for many rooms and styles. Here's why:

• Style: Roman shades come in a wide assortment of colors, styles, patterns, and fabrics allowing you to pick the perfect shade to match the décor of your room.
• Functionality: A big win for those who want the beauty of drapes but don’t want to sacrifice function. Roman blinds are easy to hang and operate while keeping with the drapery aesthetic.
• Light Control: Roman shades offer a wide variety of light control options. Precise controls allow you to adjust to your desired height throughout the day. Additionally, they are available in both light filtering and blackout to further control light or block it completely.

Optional Upgrades

Roman shades are also available with a range of upgrade options to further customize and get the perfect window treatment for your room.

• Cordless Lift: This popular option provides a hidden control system that eliminates the lift cord on your Roman shades and enables the shades to be easily raised or lowered with the touch of a finger.
• Motorized Lift: With a motorized lift upgrade, your Roman shades can be raised or lowered at the push of a button..
• Valances and Cornices: A stylish topper to accent your shades. Some Roman blinds feature fabric-wrapped wooden headrails at the top of the shade, or decorative trim at the bottom.
• Liners: Privacy liners can be added to give you more nighttime privacy or block light during the day. Liners also protect your Roman shades from sun damage.

Other Considerations

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.
