5 Roman Shade Styles to Elevate Your Home

Roman shades may be my favorite window treatments! They are beautiful, versatile and easy to operate, both manually and with automation. Here are my 5 favorite roman shade styles to elevate your home…

Style #1: The Flat Roman Shade

Flat Roman shades can be simple and masculine or decorative with an inset trim. They can provide a large pop of color or pattern while meeting the functional demands that the homeowner wants in a window treatment.

Style #2: The Relaxed Roman Shade

A relaxed Roman shade has a soft "smile" at the bottom. I love to use them in rooms with a lot of hard furnishings, like kitchens and baths, to balance and add softness. If you want a romantic touch, a relaxed Roman shade is the perfect choice. 

Style #3: Layered Roman Shade

An elegant layer of two shades gives both privacy and light or darkness. Since they are wall-mounted, they stay out of the way when placed behind furniture or in a children's room.

Style #4: Woven Wood Shades

I love the elegance and texture of natural woven wood shades. Their texture and beautiful light-filtering qualities are also economical.

Style #5: The Roman Shade Valance

A roman shade valance can create the illusion of a taller window when mounted near the ceiling. Valances are a finishing touch on a beautiful window. They can also hide functional drapery tracks when paired with other treatments.
