Custom Roman Shades
Soft fabric folds, with the lining and proportions planned for your window.
Choosing custom roman shades
Roman shades bring fabric into the room with a more structured shape than curtains. When raised, they gather into folds; when lowered, the fabric becomes part of the window design. Think about the pattern, stack height and privacy together. Tim can help compare the available styles and confirm a configuration that suits your opening.
A flatter fabric face
A flatter style can keep a pattern or weave easier to read when lowered. Ask how the folds will sit when raised and how much glass the stack will cover.
A softer folded profile
A fuller profile adds visible fabric texture. Compare the depth of the folds with the space around the window, especially near furniture and doors.
Lining for light and privacy
Lining can change how much light passes through a decorative fabric. Compare the face fabric and lining together for daytime light and evening privacy.
Details that make the treatment work
Judge the fabric at room scale
A small sample may not show the full pattern repeat. Compare it with rugs, upholstery and wall color. Ask how the pattern will align across nearby windows if you are ordering several shades.
Allow room for the raised stack
The folded fabric takes up space above or within the opening. An outside mount may allow more glass to remain visible where wall space permits. Measure clearance around trim and doors before choosing the layout.
Choose the light level for the room
A decorative weave may filter daylight without giving the privacy you need at night. A more opaque lining can reduce light through the fabric, but light may still enter around the edges.
Discuss care and operating options
Cleaning depends on the fabric and construction. Ask for the manufacturer instructions and choose a control you can reach. Motorization is an option only where the selected system supports it.
Common questions
Do Roman shades provide blackout?
A compatible opaque lining can reduce light through the fabric. The fabric, lining and mounting determine the result, including any light at the edges.
Can Roman shades work on a door?
The raised stack and mounting depth may interfere with a handle or the door swing. Tim needs to check the opening before recommending that arrangement.
Can I coordinate several windows?
Yes, discuss fabric availability, pattern placement and proportions across the windows. Dimensions may change how folds appear when raised.
How should I clean Roman shades?
Follow the care instructions for the fabric and lining. Some materials need dry cleaning or other specialist care rather than washing.
