What are Roman Shades?

Roman shades are a type of window shade made from soft fabric, which can fold into themselves when raised and uncurl in an attractive cascading motion when lowered. When mounted inside the window frame, they deliver the soft, elegant, tailored look of a drapery.

Various styles of Roman shades vary in their functionality, with some being more decoratively appealing and others being easier to use.

White, black, blue, red, and gray are popular colors choices for Roman shades.

Roman cotton shades are named after their design, which is inspired by the traditional Roman blinds. They have a smooth, foldable fabric that can be raised, lowered, or adjusted by a cord or a chain.

FAQs

Are Roman shades good for blackout?

Unlined Roman shades are semi-blackout or light filtering, but they still protect your privacy. On the other hand, lined roman blinds block out 90% to 95% external light, creating room darkening effect and protecting your family and home furniture from the harsh UV rays.

What is the downside to Roman shades?

Roman shades are made of fabric, so they can collect dirt and get stained more easily. Velvet and other heavier fabrics are difficult to clean or wash. Plus, they can retain odors, making them the wrong choice for a kitchen.

Do Roman shades get dirty?

Yes! When Roman shades are in the open position, they’ll collect dust more quickly compared to other blind styles. Take extra care when cleaning to make sure you don’t damage the soft fabric. Dry clean the shades or use borax solution to clean the fabric.

How do you make blackout Roman shades?

Here are 7 DIY steps to make blackout Roman shades:

Step 1: Measure the window frame

Step 2: Calculate the rod pocket positions

Step 3: Calculate the size for fabric and lining

Step 4: Make up the fabric panel and insert blackout lining
