Expert Design Tip

Robert Couturier, a famous American AD100 designer, suggests using ‘Roman shades’ to create a ‘stricter, less fussy, and more modern’ look in your home. With their clean lines, plain fold Roman shades offer a contemporary appearance, while swag and hobbled fold styles provide a more traditional, billowy feel.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between flat fold and plain fold Roman shades?

Unlike flat fold Roman shades that have a smooth, seamless look with uneven folding, plain fold Roman shades are seamed (stitched) every few inches to ensure neater, more uniform, streamlined folding (without uneven bunching) of the fabric when raised. Unlike hobbled shades, plain fold Roman shades don’t overwhelm small shallow windows with rolls of extra fabric.

What is the difference between hobbled and flat fold Roman shades?

Hobbled fold Roman shade has excess fabric between pleats which gathers when you close or lower the shade. On the other hand, a flat fold Roman shade has the exact length of fabric which lays flat as you close the shade.

What is the difference between flat Roman shade and classic Roman shade?

Flat and looped are two types of classic Roman shades. Flat shades have pleats that form horizontal lines, while the looped style billows of fabric and folds that waterfall down. The flat style is more rigid and offers a more structured look than looped style.

What blinds does Joanna Gaines use?

As spotted in her past home renovation projects, Joanna Gaines (a famous American interior decorator) frequently uses neutral-colored Roman shades in simple fabrics like linen or woven wool. Being light, airy, functional window treatments, Roman shades don’t distract from the atmosphere of the space. She is also a fan of bifold wood shutters, woven wood shades, long curtains, and cafe curtains.

What is the downside to Roman shades?

• Limited Light Filtering: While Roman shades provide excellent privacy and light blocking, they’re limited in their ability to subtly filter light. Unlike solar blinds that offer various opacities (1% to 14%), Roman shades either block all light when down or let light in when raised.
• Semi-blocked View: Being mostly opaque, Roman shades offer a limited or no view of the outside.
