What Are Roman Shades?

Roman shades are classic fabric window coverings that fold into horizontal pleats when raised and lie flat when lowered. They combine the soft look of drapes with the practical benefits of blinds, like light control, privacy & insulation.

They come in various sizes, designs, patterns, and opacities, making them a versatile option for both homes and businesses.

Why Choose White Color for Roman Shades

As spotted in her several past home renovation projects, Joanna Gaines, a famous American interior decorator, loves to use neutral Roman shades in simple fabrics like linen or wool.

She frequently uses neutral tones like white 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.

• White (the ultimate neutral), in the form of Roman shades, transcends fleeting trends
• White is a symbol of purity, decency and sublime thoughts of the user
• Makes the shades a perfect backdrop for all color palettes & design themes
• Blends with other neutral colors
• Looks fresh and clean
• Makes an attractive contrast with bold colors like red, blue, green, yellow
• Reflects light well, eliminating glare & creating a better cooling effect in hot summer
• Makes a small, dark room feel larger and brighter
• White-colored Roman shades are a popular choice for windows in homes, offices, etc.

Are the Roman shades equipped with child safety features?

Yes! Our white Roman window coverings come with an advanced safety feature for kids and pets, i.e., they replace corded lift with a cordless control system. So, there will be no risk for children to get entangled or strangulated with the pull strings of the blind.

Do the Roman shades come with a cornice?

Roman shades do not come with a cornice as a built-in option. However, a cornice is available as an optional upgrade to beautifully conceal the headrail and hardware, providing your window covering a more finished look.

Shop On-Trend Styles & Models of White Roman Shades

White-colored Roman shades are popular window treatments as they are available in lots of functional, structural, and material variants. For example, they come with diverse functional potentials, such as privacy, light control, light filtration, insulation, blackout, and so on.

1. Light Reflecting White Roman Shades

If you choose white Roman shades, they can brighten up the interior of your room by reflecting light. Also, white is a color of decency, and it can easily blend with any interior décor style. In other words, white Roman shades can be a suitable choice for all types of settings and interior designs.

2. Light Filtering Black and White Roman Blinds

Want your window coverings block out harsh sun, while letting in soft, diffused light for sufficient illumination of your living space? Select black and white striped roman shades design to add light control, bold contrast, and modern flair to your windows.

3. White Blackout Roman Shades

These shades can not only blend with your unique interior settings but also create a blackout functionality for a night-like environment in your bedroom or home theater.

Expert Design Tip

Have chosen a blackout model and want to get better darkness? 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. He argues: “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”.

4. Blue and White Striped Roman Shades

Blue and white striped Roman shades offer a bold+neutral combination to add nautical charm and a sense of spaciousness to your room. This design is also preferred for a fresh, airy feel and a stylish touch to your windows, especially in a nursery.

Design Tip

Want to create a signature treatment for your kids’ room? Layer blue and white striped roman blinds with beige sheer curtains for extra depth, style, shine, and added privacy.

5. Cordless Gray and White Roman Shades

With a cordless option, you can make your Roman blinds safer for children and pets. The gray and white combo is a great option if you are looking to add a chic, neutral palette to your interior decor.

Design Tip

If you’re going to install cordless Roman shades in your kids’ room, select blackout fabrics to prevent the unruly rays of sun from disrupting your child’s sleep. And going with a durable fabric will be another plus to withstand manual strain if your little one plays with them.

6. Motorized Roman Fabric Shades

Enjoy added convenience for some extra dollars. Motorization makes raising and lowering of the blinds smoother and quicker with the push of a button. You can also integrate them into your smart home automation system.

7. White Cotton Roman Shades

Cotton fabric used in white cotton Roman shades makes these window treatments soft, durable, and aesthetically appealing.

8. White Linen Roman Shades

Exuding unique texture, linen is a durable and long-lasting fabric that can provide efficient light control and privacy when used in white Roman shades. These white fabrics also exude a clean and classic look when lowered. And when you raise them, the linen fabric folds up into beautiful, neat pleats.

Design Tip

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

9. White Bamboo Roman Shades

Also called white woven wood shades, white bamboo shades can add a great deal to the decorative appeal of your interior décor style.

10. Top Down Bottom Up Style

Open from the top to let in light and keep the lower side closed for privacy in your kitchen or living room. And when you don’t need privacy, also raise the bottom rail for two-way ventilation. Top down bottom up option comes with 3 fold styles: soft fold, flat fold, and plain classic fold.

Design Tip

Joanna Gaines’s practical design idea of layering Roman shades with light cafe curtains works well for kitchens for an additional style and functionality.

11. Roman Shades for Large Windows

Roman shades are a popular choice for large windows, measuring over 72” x 84”  in width and height.
