Custom Roman Shades

We don’t know about you, but we love setting up our homes with beautiful and unique furnishings. One of the most asked questions we get when it comes to decorating is our thoughts on different types of window coverings. Should we go for a natural and light shade cover or do we just tint the glass darker? 

With so many treatments and shades to choose from, we understand the struggle! However, we are biased with one little thing. One of our absolute favorites is having Roman Shades in the home. You can place Roman Shades in the Kitchen in the Living room and many other unique placements.  A home without Roman Shades for your windows is a missed opportunity for a fashion statement and minimalistic vibe we would like to review the many custom roman shade styles and applications to help you get a better idea of the best ways to  use roman shades on your windows.

To probably answer your pending question, Roman Shades are a type of window covering used to block out the sun and keep temperatures inside the home at bay. They are different from those standard window shades by being able to stack up evenly when being opened. If you are someone who doesn’t like that look for your home, you’re in luck! Because when they are opened, they are visibly smooth without bumps or a rib-like pattern that you can typically see within vertical shades or blinds.

Each type gives off its own certain flair of fashion and comes from the designs of traditional looks from the Roman Empire (thus the name!) When a pseudo-version of these blinds were used in the Colosseum, the purpose was to ensure the sun and heat wasn’t constantly beating down onto the audience and to regulate the temperature inside.
