Designer Style: 4 Steps to Custom Roman Shades

In the process of designing a space you love? Custom roman shades combine gorgeous fabrics and exceptional benefits. You’ll add the finishing touch to the style of your space while experiencing the lifestyle upgrades of daylighting, privacy, convenience and energy savings. More than that, the process is fun and exciting. And, in 4 easy steps, you can create the space of your dreams!

 

#1 Start with the Fabrics.

Your custom roman shades will set a stunning scene in your home. When it comes to selecting the right fabrics, you’ll want to consider texture, color and coordination.

From soft neutrals to daring hues, we can help you discover just the right color. To finish the look, choosing the texture will help create the feel of the space–ranging from woven warmth to airy freshness.

 

#2 Choose the Style.

Most people consider roman shades a “stacking shade,” meaning the folds gather as they adjust open. They certainly are beautiful, and they offer the elegance you’ve come to love. But, do you know that our Vignette Modern roman shades can also roll?

#3 Identify the Personal Features You Want.

It’s time for you to decide which lifestyle upgrades you want for your home. This is a very exciting step because you are really choosing how you will set the atmosphere of your home. Features also help you select the style from step #2. Love the idea of daylighting your home, but you don’t want to sacrifice privacy and energy efficiency? Custom roman shades in a stacking style offer top down bottom up, which gives you tons of versatility when it comes to light control and lifestyle function.

#4 Decide on the Operating System.

To begin with, the operating system you choose is a personal choice that should fit the way you live and how you’ll use your shades. Custom roman shades are available in both cordless and cord-safe choices, making safety a top priority in your home. (These Solera Shades are another collection of gorgeous romans!)
