If you are looking for a unique and gorgeous window treatment, think Roman Shades. But just what is a Roman Shade? Basically a roman shade is a style of window treatment consisting of a fabric shade. the fabric gathers or folds (like an accordion) as you raise the shade depending on the style: flat fold (gathers) or hobbled fold (folds), also known as teardrop style.

Roman shades are known by many names: fabric shades, roman pleated shades, and more. They are also known as roman blinds but this is mostly a misnomer because Shades roll-up or fold-up. Roman Shades come in many colors, styles and fabrics including, silk, cotton, linen, weaves and bamboo, and with many features like pleated, hobbled, flat fold, top down bottom up, blackout liners and even insulated liners. You can choose roman shades that are sheer and will let in a fair amount of light even when closed, or opaque (room darkening).

Roman Shades can lend a rich, textured and warm look to a room. roman shades, by their nature, lean towards a more casual look, however, this depends greatly on the materials, colors and features. If you want a more formal look, you may want to consider roman shades with the pleated fold or teardrop style in maybe a silk or linen fabric.

An additional benefit to choosing roman shades is that they offer a nice departure from the all-to-common vertical blinds or mini blinds. You can decorate your room in a fashion that not everyone else is using. For more info go to our roman shades page, or phone us 7 days a week at (352) 238-1678 for a free in-home consultation.
