Large Window Roman Shades

Large windows require more than choosing the right look. Shade width, operating method, and actual installation dimensions all matter. Roman shades for large windows can be custom made according to the width and height of the opening, providing options for large windows, wide windows, and oversized picture windows.

A single Roman shade can be made up to 118 inches wide, accommodating 72-inch-wide windows as well as many wider and extra-wide windows. When a window exceeds the maximum width for a single shade, two Roman shades can be installed side by side.

Custom sizing allows the shades to be made around the actual window dimensions rather than limiting larger windows to standard ready-made sizes.

One Wide Roman Shade or Two Side by Side?

For a large window within the available product size range, one wide Roman shade can cover the opening and maintain a continuous, coordinated fabric appearance.

For windows wider than 118 inches, two Roman shades can be installed side by side. Multiple shades also provide independent operation, so each shade can be raised or lowered separately. Even when a window falls within the maximum single-shade width, a multiple-shade configuration may be considered when separate control is preferred and the window structure allows it.

The right configuration depends on the total window width, available mounting space, and preferred operating method.

Choosing an Operating Method for Large Roman Shades

Large Roman shades are available with cordless, corded, and motorized operation, allowing you to choose according to the window size, installation height, and everyday use.

Cordless operation provides straightforward adjustment for windows that are easy to reach. Corded styles use a side operating system to raise and lower the shade. For larger, taller, or harder-to-reach windows, motorized Roman shades can be operated by remote control for more convenient everyday adjustment.

Available dimensions may vary by operating system and specific product, so always check the applicable size range before ordering.

Fabrics and Light Control for Large Windows

Large windows often bring more daylight into a room, making fabric and light control an important part of the selection process.

Sheer fabrics preserve more natural light and an open, airy appearance. Light-filtering fabrics soften sunlight across a large window while balancing daylight and privacy. When stronger light control is preferred, blackout fabrics are also available.

Choose from linen, linen-look, and other fabric textures in a variety of colors to coordinate your large window shades with the surrounding interior and the amount of light you want in the room.
