When it comes to window treatments it’s important to get it right the first time. By choosing window coverings with a timeless look, your home will look incredible for years to come. That’s where roman shades come in. These popular shades, sometimes referred to as roman blinds, have stood the test of time. Believe it or not, they’ve been a staple in homes across the world since “roman” times. Explore the ways Hunter Douglas Romans have reinvented themselves over the years and determine the best roman shades for your space.
Bring Texture to Your Windows
If you follow home decor trends, you know that adding texture to a space is key! Textured roman shades have taken the industry by storm. Made from organic materials and natural fibers, these romans bring depth and interest to your space. In addition, these window shades are quite versatile, look fashionable and are customizable. They function without hassle. Simply watch as the fabric gathers uniformly as you raise the shades up to view the outdoors. For privacy–and at night–release the shades and enjoy the “waterfall effect” as they fall into place beautifully.
Stacking Romans
Traditional roman shades consists of fabrics, when set to open, they create stacks of folded layers at the top of the window. When the shades are closed, these fabrics unfold, cascading down for privacy. The evolution of modern style has innovated within the Hunter Douglas collection–Vignette Modern Roman Shade is a contemporary take on an old time favorite with sleek and structured folds to add to a modern vibe.
Rolling Romans
As you begin your home’s window covering journey, take note of rolling roman shades. A first cousin to traditional Romans, they differ in their operation. Instead of stacking in folds as the shades rise, the fabric rolls up and is hidden in the headrail.
If you enjoy a sleek design, look to rolling romans or the flat-front design of Vignettes. The knife-pleat feature of Vignettes adds the perfect design element. These two versions of window shades are similar from a distance, but have unique qualities of their own. Pay close attention to the details and choose your favorite style.
Traditional Style Explored
Traditional roman window shades are still widely popular for a reason. They are ideal if you prefer something custom that blends in with other design choices. Select from many color-ways, textures, patterns and prints. What’s more, they are available in a number of fold options. You can decide how you’d like the folds to look when they are in position.
