Roman shades have been a staple in interior design for centuries—and they’re still one of the most beloved window treatment styles for homeowners today. Why? Because Roman shades offer the perfect balance between form and function. They bring softness and sophistication to a space while delivering practical benefits like privacy, light control, and insulation. At Made in the Shade West Cincinnati, we help you customize Roman shades that match your personal style and serve your unique needs.
Whether your aesthetic leans toward the traditional or you prefer a sleek, modern look, Roman shades can be tailored to suit every room in your home.
What Are Roman Shades?
Roman shades are a type of window covering made from a continuous piece of fabric that folds neatly as it is raised. Unlike roller shades, which coil at the top, Roman shades fold into pleats or tiers, giving your windows a clean, structured appearance when open and a smooth surface when closed.
They are available in several different fold styles, including:
- Flat fold for a streamlined, modern appearance
- Hobbled fold for a more luxurious, waterfall-like texture
- Relaxed fold for an informal, elegant drape
This variety means you can customize the look and feel of each room in your home based on mood, lighting, and design.
Design Flexibility for Every Room
Roman shades are one of the most versatile options available when it comes to matching your décor. Here are just a few ways they can enhance different rooms:
- Living Rooms: Add softness and texture without the bulk of heavy drapery.
- Dining Rooms: Frame your windows with a tailored, upscale appearance.
- Bedrooms: Choose blackout lining for restful sleep and fabric options that reflect your personal style.
- Bathrooms: Moisture-resistant materials make them a great option with the right customization.
- Home Offices: Reduce glare and add a polished look to your workspace.
At Made in the Shade West Cincinnati, we offer a wide range of luxurious fabrics—from cotton and linen to silks and blends—so you can achieve the exact tone, texture, and finish you want.
Light Control and Privacy Options
Roman shades don’t just look good—they perform well, too. You can choose from:
- Light-filtering options for a soft glow
- Room-darkening fabrics for media rooms or privacy
- Blackout lining for bedrooms and nurseries
We also offer top-down/bottom-up operation, which gives you full control over how much natural light you let in while maintaining privacy.
Cordless and Motorized for Safety and Convenience
Roman shades are available in cordless lift systems for child and pet safety, as well as motorized versions for the ultimate in ease and luxury. Imagine lowering your shades with a remote, your phone, or even your voice—it’s that easy.
Motorization also makes Roman shades perfect for tall or hard-to-reach windows and is an excellent solution for aging-in-place homes.
Roman Shades vs. Other Window Treatments
So why choose Roman shades over blinds, roller shades, or curtains?
- More style than a blind
- More softness than a roller
- More control and function than a drape alone
You can even layer Roman shades with side panels or valances for a designer finish that’s polished and magazine-worthy.
