A veteran design consultant, Liz Irwin, who has been helping clients dress windows for about 8 years now, states it is easy to narrow down from the selection of over a dozen window treatments from more than 900 materials. Intense familiarity with the functions, appearance and options available for every one of these beautiful shades is just what you need to have here. With a few questions answered, you can just narrow down the collection to treatments that are meant to fit your needs.
Roman Shades come under the frequently requested treatments, especially the signature flat Roman Shade. Rarely do we come across anyone who has never fallen in love with these shades. But the confusion is what to use and in what kind of setting. Here is how you figure out if these are at all the right kinds for your homes or not.
There is a fundamental difference between Roman Shades and all other types of shades. Roman shades can fold themselves when raised, creating an opulence of rich folds. When lowered these are very stunning and when lifted these folds come to make a “faux valance” effect. Mostly similar to draperies, Roman Shades can come in a horizontal treatment, thus creating the same fullness on a window like a drapery.
Roman Shades give your room a casually elegant feeling, like any other treatment. Any rumpled linen fabric in any Relaxed Roman Shade has a lot of difference from a Tulip Roman Shade in the silk and in the tone which it sets.
Roman Shades are utile in the most formal spaces where other shades mostly fall short in accomplishing the desired smartness. This comes down to the lines that are created by these Roman Shades either when they are lowered or lifted on the windows.
Most homeowners want their window treatments to make a statement in the room, acting as a featured part of the décor. Roman Shades have striking properties even when found in a standard white cotton material. When these are lifted, they have a lot of volume and folds at the top stacked sumptuously. This will mean that the shade will mostly be ever-present and visible on the windows, even when they are lifted up.
Roman Shades boast of rich handicraft, great quality and numerous fabrics to choose from. An indulgent and lush presence is what is uniquely featured by them. They articulate your notion of style.
