Roman Shades

Roman shades are unlike regular shades, in how they are operated.

When you think about it, Roman shades provide two looks, which are both lovely. When lowered, Roman shades provide a smooth appearance and when raised, they are gently pulled upward, giving them a scalloped and elegant appearance. These wonderful shades are available in a wide range of colors and fabrics.

Roman shades are unlike regular shades, in how they are operated. Roman shades have cords that run the length of the back of the drape. To raise the shades, the cords are drawn up, and the fabric is gently pulled upward.

Roman shades are available in almost every fabric, and quality you could want, including, chintzes, muslins, linens, light, medium, and heavyweight cottons, raw silks, velvets, and upholstery fabrics. Therefore, depending on the fabric you choose, you can either softly filter the light or completely block it.

With the more delicate the fabrics, you'll need to spend more time, and care with their maintenance and because of the exposed cords in the back of the shades, careful and time-consuming hand washing is a most. For this reason, many people choose to Scotch guard their Roman shades made of delicate fabrics. Scotch guarded and heavier fabrics can be vacuumed to remove dust. Though Roman shades require a little more care, they deliver great style and flair.
