Why Choose Gray Color for Roman Shades?

As spotted in her several past renovation projects, Joanna Gaines, a famous American interior decorator, is a staunch fan of neutral-colored Roman shades in simple fabrics like linen.

Gaines uses neutral tones like gray in her window treatment designs to create cohesion between rooms, add texture, and maintain a light, airy atmosphere. In her minimalist, authentic approach, she avoids bold prints and flashy hardware.

A Neutral Color for All Decors

Being a neutral color, gray or light gray can help your Roman window shades perfectly blend with almost any type of interior décor style.

Create a Sense of Balance & Tranquility

Lying between black and white, gray is a good color choice for window treatments to create a sense of balance and tranquility.

Better Light Reflection

Like white, light gray roman shades fabrics reflect all wavelengths of light equally.

Note: Other popular color choices for Roman shades include white, black, red, and blue.

Explore Top 5 On-Trend Models of Gray Roman Shades

1. Gray Blackout Roman Shades for Bedroom, Home Theater, & Nursery

Blackout dark gray roman shades are designed to completely block out the sun. They are an ideal option for rooms where you need complete privacy, such as bedrooms, home theaters, and nurseries. Also, you can install grey bedroom blinds in rooms facing the street where light pollution is an issue.

Based on our customer survey-based internal data, homeowners prefer blackout Roman shades over other blackout options, as they offer both high performance (more darkness & privacy) and better decorative appeal.

Design Tip (Better Darkness with Inside-Mounted Gray Roman Shades)

Nate Berkus, one of America’s most sought-after interior designers, recommends “inside-mounted Roman shades” as a “great (option) for room darkening” because of their ability to block light more effectively. According to him, “an inside-mounted Roman shade sits inside the window frame, not on the mounting of the frame, which means you won’t get lots of light on the sides”.

2. Gray Cordless Roman Shades for Child-Safety

Cordless blinds do not have cords or strings hanging down from the shade, making them a safer option for homes with kids or pets. Cordless shades are also more convenient and easier to operate, as they can be raised, lowered, and adjusted by simply pulling or pushing on the bottom of the shade.

Design Tip

Select cordless gray and white striped roman shades and layer them with sheers for added privacy, style, and shine, making them a signature treatment for your kids’ room.

3. Gray Cotton Roman Shades for Texture and Warmth

Gray cotton fabrics for windows and doors are a popular choice for their natural, soft feel and versatile look. Cotton fabric is a breathable, durable, and eco-friendly material that you can use to add texture and warmth to your room. It is also easy to care for and maintain, making it a low-maintenance option for busy homes.

Design Tip

Want to create a cleaner, sleeker, and more tailored look with your gray cotton Roman shades? Consider Nate Berkus’s suggestion to choose Roman shades in “flat fold style”.

4. Gray Linen Roman Shades - Add a High-end Feel to Your Living Room

Gray linen Roman shades are a great option to add a natural, high-end feel to your living rooms and other spaces. Also, you can pair them with other window treatments like curtains, draperies, and blinds for additional light control and privacy.

Design Tip

Want to create a soft contrast and add architectural depth to your Roman window covers? Consider a white Roman shade with gray trim. Suzanne Kasler, an American interior designer, frequently uses such two-tone trims to add architectural clarity. White and gray combination perfectly aligns with her mantra of “neutrals as the backbone of a room”.

If you are looking for gray Roman shades for kitchen in 2025, go with Joanna Gaines’s design idea, i.e, layer them with light cafe curtains for additional style and functionality.

Gray Bamboo Roman Shades - an Eco-Friendly Option

Gray woven wood or bamboo Roman shades are a stylish and eco-friendly window treatment option that can add a natural texture and earthy feel to your room. They offer a seamless blend of style and functionality to your room.

Design Tip

For added softness and light diffusion, pair your neutral-toned gray bamboo fabric shades with white sheer curtains. For a more polished look, select a tailored flat-fold fabric style.

Things to Consider When Buying the Right Gray Roman Shades

• Extra Coverage: Consider adding 2 to 4 inches to each width and height of fabric for overlap or extra coverage.
• Blackout Liner: Add a blackout liner to improve light control & privacy of your gray Roman window covers.
• Fabric Thickness: If you want to improve the energy efficiency of your room, we highly recommend a shade with thicker fabric. For more light, select thin, sheer fabric. 
• Patterns: Choose from hundreds of beautiful floral patterns.
• Wide or Narrow Windows: Whether it’s a wide window in your living room or a narrow window in your kitchen or bathroom, custom gray Roman shades will fit each of them.

Measuring Instructions

• Measure Width & Height: Measure the width & height of the window opening at top, middle, and bottom. Record the narrowest value. For example, if the measurements are 31” x 48”, 31 ¾” x 48 ⅛”, and 31 ¾” x 48 ⅜”, order 31” x 48” inches custom Roman curtains.
• Measure Depth (optional): If you want to install blinds inside the recess of your window, do measure depth and match it with the product specifications.
• Deduction: Do not make any deductions. We – at AffordableBlinds.com – will do it for you.

FAQs

Can I change the color of my Roman shades?

Yes! Just spray paint the fabric. Choose a neutral color like gray that equally matches each type of decor style.

Why are Roman shades so expensive?

Meticulous craftsmanship, higher labor fees, and a tremendous amount of time spent in manufacturing make roman shades so expensive.

Price of Roman shades ranges from around $100 to over $700, based on factors like size, fabric quality, control mechanism, custom options, warranties, and brand reputation.

What color should Roman shades be?

Roman shades should coordinate well and harmonize with the existing color scheme of the room to create a unified and cohesive look. Opting for neutral colors like white, gray, beige, or cream can be a good idea to create a classic and versatile style.

Do Roman shades add value to home?

Yes! While drapes may not add significant value to a home, Roman shades are a fantastic alternative to add great aesthetic and functional value, especially if they are well-chosen and installed correctly.

What is the difference between Roman blinds & shades?

Roman blinds use narrow slats for adjustable light & privacy, while Roman shades are crafted from a single fabric panel, offering a softer look, more fabric choices & better insulation.

What are potential limitations of Gray Roman Shades?

• Made of fabric that can get stained more easily, especially in spaces prone to splashes.
• If you choose heavier fabrics like velvets, your roman blinds will be difficult to wash (if needed).
