Let's Break Down the Styles of Roman Shades

As legends go, someone created Roman shades about 2,000 years ago in ancient Rome. While we don’t know the exact date, our Dale’s AAA Blind Factory design team is highly familiar with today’s styles of Roman Shades offered by Hunter Douglas.

The basic principle behind Roman shades is their ability to stack when lifted for a clean, elegant aesthetic. As they lower, they form soft folds. These shades are always in style with modern materials and operating systems, they’re a go-to window treatment for homeowners in Naples, Florida.

Tips for Choosing the Right Type of Roman Shades

When selecting your preferred type of Roman Shades, consider:

  1. Your preferred level of light and privacy control. Light-filtering fabrics are a good option for softer, more diffused light. For maximum privacy and light blockage, consider room-darkening materials or independent liners.
  2. Your fabric choice and how it will impact the look and feel of your Roman shades. Smooth fabrics offer a sophisticated, modern, or classic appearance, while textured or woven materials have a natural, organic feel.
  3. Your complementing colors and patterns for your existing decor. Roman shades are available in many colors and patterns, and we’ll help you choose a combination that enhances your room's overall aesthetic.
