Discover Textures at the Window
From woven fabrics, to organic fibers found in nature, some of the best roman shades bring texture into the home. And, this is a trend that’s hot right now–with no chance of disappearing anytime soon. Woven roman shades bring low profile dimension into a space with these unique textured surfaces. Woven shades commonly gather in folds as they rise up the window, opening to bring in light and outdoor views. but when lowered, those folds flatten out.
See How Romans Have Been Modernized
Traditional romans showcase fabrics in a folded stack at the top of the window. As the window shades are closed, the fabrics cascade down the window, leaving shaped folds of fabrics as they lower. Our Hunter Douglas collection of romans has been designed for a modern look, so much so that they put it in the name. Vignette Modern Roman Shades offer those beautiful folds, but in a contemporary, uniform style.
As you search for the best roman shades for your home, don’t miss out on rolling roman shades. Part of the same Vignette Modern Roman Shades collections, you can get rolling operation with roman style. This keeps the bottom profile from stacking as the shade rises, rolling up and into the headrail. These can feature simple, constant folds that stay in place as the fabrics roll.
For a sleek look, the flat front design of Vignettes can have that sought-after “knife pleat” look that is best added with battens that provide visual interest, but they are low profile, similar to a roller shade. These two versions of roman shades are quite similar from a distance, but the details of the two might sway your choices as you look for the best roman shades to fit your aesthetic.
