Roman Shades

There are so many choices when it comes to designing window treatments. One idea that’s often overlooked are Roman Shades. They’re simply fabric shades that hang flat against the window when closed and fold up in horizontal pleats when raised. The shades can be mounted inside the window frame (like the photo on the left) or as an outside mount (on the right).

Roman Shades from Drapery Connection

Interior designers have access to thousands of fabric. One of the best parts of working with a designer is you get to choose the perfect fabric for your room. No one else will ever have the same drapery as you!

Roman shades offer privacy, help keep the heat or cold out and work in almost any room. This tone-on-tone damask is perfect with the traditional cabinetry in the bar above.

Or they can add pizza and color to a monochromatic bathroom.

This abstract floral print adds a touch of whimsy this bath from HGTV.

Look how cute stripe shades are on a kitchen window. When closed, they look like a little valance. Design Sponge

Ready for color and pattern? I love this sunroom~dining room  from House of Turquoise. A little splash of orange paint livens up the room.

Which one would you choose?
