Choose a Cotton, Sheer or Velvet Fabric For Your Next Roman Shade

Fabric roman shades look and feel like drapes but are a more convenient treatment for home decorating. For room darkening and privacy, sew a fabric shade with opaque cloth such as suede or velvet. Buy a ready made checked cotton roman shade with an acrylic foam backing for superior insulating.

A lightweight sheer fabric or screen type mesh has light filtering properties and works in places where darkness is not important. For more light control try a designer damask print, plain-weave polyester, ticking stripes with matching toile or an antique crushed satin.

Neutral colored sheers, floral prints or fabric shades with a metallic back are also available. Some retailers offer extra yardage so customers can buy enough material to sew custom accessories - such as a scalloped valance or chair pads to coordinate. Order samples before buying your fabric roman shade to determine which colors and textures will match existing decor.

Create a casual, romantic look with traditional roman window shades in a hobbled tear drop design. For formal or elegant rooms, roman flat fold shades provide a tailored appearance.
