Ready Made and Custom Roman Window Shade Ideas

Ready made fabric roman shades from Levolor, Hunter Douglas or Bali look and feel like drapes - they open and close similar to blinds with standard cords or clutch operated continuous loops. A pulley and gravity feed cord lock system makes a roman shade simple to operate.

Making Your Own Custom Roman Blinds

Learn how to sew roman window shades from detailed instructions. Choose from sheer or opaque fabrics - light filtering polyester in a plain or linen weave, nostalgic toile with coordinating tick stripes, lightweight sheers or a screen mesh.

Ideas for fabric roman shades include floral or damask prints, paisley jacquard and neutral or bold colors. Buy extra cloth for sewing accents and accessories. Note: some patterns call for a white backing or lining to create a uniform look from the street.

Beautiful treatments

The versatile top down bottom up feature of ready made shades allows shadings to be operated from either direction for easy control of light and privacy. For total room darkening, use blackout shades. Some styles come with a sleek headrail to hide mechanisms, other roman shades have a built in valance.

Contemporary flat fold shades are sewn with wide panels that stack evenly when raised. When lowered, they present a smart tailored appearance.

More relaxed hobbled shades are another option. A traditional teardrop roman shade is a soft treatment for plush, formal decor. Shop for quality products that will not sag and raise to form consistent pleats every time.
