Roman Shades combine the beauty and softness of a fabric drape with the ease and practicality of custom shades. Blindsgalore offers the two principal styles: flat fold or teardrop style. Flat roman shades are made of a continuous piece of material that hangs flat on the window, providing a smooth fold that gives a room a simple, casual, look. The teardrop or hobbled roman shade has a series of cascading folds that ripple down the window, creating a more traditional, sophisticated look. Top down bottom up, cordless, motorized and all levels of room darkening make the roman shade one of the most versatile and popular window treatments. Roman shades can be bright and cheerful or can effortlessly blend in to create a relaxed and comfortable ambiance.

Hidden Pull Cord Roman Shades

Roman Shades for Living Rooms
Roman shades are a popular choice for living rooms because they add style and function to the space. They can be used to control the amount of light that enters the room, as well as provide privacy. When choosing Roman shades for your living room, it's important to consider style first. Classic Roman Shades will be a great choice if your living room is more formal, while Relaxed Roman Shades will be better if your living room has a more casual vibe. You can also choose decorative accents to help your custom roman shades match your existing living room décor.
Roman Shades for Kitchens
If you’re looking to add some intriguing to an otherwise dull kitchen, Roman Shades are an excellent choice. Patterns, stripes, and prints can all be used to introduce additional décor elements to this area. If you decide to install a linen Roman Shade in your kitchen, we recommend including a water repellant liner. Just imagine the soft, pleated look filtering the light above a tub sink in your kitchen. Beautiful!
Roman Shades for Bathrooms
Similar to installing a roman shade in your kitchen, our design experts suggest customizing your shade with a water repellant liner. This will help protect your shade from humidity or accidental shower splashes. We also recommend relaxed roman shades in bathrooms to avoid moisture getting stuck between the pleats.
Roman Shades for Front Doors
Our custom fabric Roman Shades can be created as small as 12 inches wide, making them a viable option for front door sidelights. Since front door roman shades will usually be smaller and longer than a traditional window, this may be one of the more affordable Roman Shade options. Another perfect way to add style and intrigue to the space surrounding your front door.
Liner Options
Each of our Roman Shades can be configured with different liner options. A liner is an additional piece of fabric attached to the back of your shade. Customizable liners include room darkening or blackout liners for better light control, thermal liners for UV and temperature control to create insulated roman shades, or a water repellant liner for high humidity areas such as a bathroom or small kitchen.
Decorative Accents
Depending on which types of Roman Shade you are customizing, you’ll be able to select a decorative accent to add the finish touch to your cloth blinds. These can help blend the décor in your room together.
Edge Binding:
This will add a band of color on the outside edge of your shade to add a finishing touch and prevent the edges of your shade from fraying.Inset:
This is a purely decorative band that borders your shade, but not on the edge. Your inset color will act as an outer border for your shade.Matching Fabric Valance:
Some Roman Shades will give you the option to create a matching valance using the same material as your shade, ideal for patterns or prints. You may also be able to purchase matching yards of fabric to create additional décor as you see fit.
