Roman shades
Learn More about Roman Shades
Overview
Roman shades bring the softness of fabric to a neatly fitted window covering. The fabric gathers into horizontal folds when raised and creates a smooth, tailored look when lowered. They work well on their own or alongside curtains when you want to add texture to a room.
Choose the light that suits your room
Our Roman shades collection includes light-filtering and blackout fabric options. Light-filtering fabric softens incoming daylight, while blackout fabric is designed for stronger light control. Check the selected fabric and lining on each product page, as available options vary by style.
The finished result also depends on the installation: light can enter around the edges of a shade, particularly with an inside mount.
Find the right fit for your windows
- Fabric and color: compare available textures and colors with your furniture and wall finishes.
- Mounting: choose an inside or outside mount according to your window frame and the selected product’s requirements.
- Installation: the collection includes no-drill options; check the specific shade for compatible window dimensions and frame conditions.
- Measurements: measure each window separately before entering your custom dimensions.

FAQs
View all FAQsWhat is the difference between light-filtering and blackout Roman shades?
Light-filtering fabric lets softened daylight into the room. Blackout fabric offers stronger light blocking through the fabric itself. Check the fabric option on the product page, and allow for possible light gaps at the edges of the installed shade.
Can I choose an inside or outside mount?
Mounting options depend on the shade you select. An inside mount sits within the window recess and needs sufficient frame depth; an outside mount covers an area beyond the recess. Follow the selected product’s depth requirements and our measuring instructions.
Are no-drill Roman shades available?
Yes. The collection includes no-drill Roman shade styles. Check the installation method, size limits and window-frame requirements on the specific product page before ordering.
How should I measure for custom Roman shades?
Measure each window individually, even when several windows appear the same size. Decide on the mounting method first, then follow the measurements requested in our measuring guide and on the product page. Contact us before ordering if any step is unclear.
How do I choose a fabric and color?
Consider the room’s lighting, your preferred level of privacy and the textures already in the space. Compare the product’s available fabric options and check our fabric swatches collection for available samples. Screen colors can differ from fabric viewed in your own room.
