Roman Shades

A Roman shade is a type of window covering made from fabric that folds into soft, horizontal pleats when raised and lies flat when lowered.

Unlike roller shades (which roll up), Roman shades stack neatly in folds, giving a more decorative, fabric-rich look.

​

How Roman shades work

  • When you pull them up, the fabric folds into even sections (like cascading layers)

  • When lowered, they become a smooth, flat panel of fabric

  • They can be operated with a cord, chain, or motorized system

​

Common types of Roman shades

  • Flat Roman → smooth when down, minimal folds when raised

  • Hobbled (looped) → soft, cascading folds even when fully lowered

  • Relaxed Roman → slightly curved bottom edge for a casual look

  • Blackout Roman → lined for full light blocking (great for bedrooms)
