How cellular, roller and Roman shades differ in looks, light control, insulation, privacy and fabric choices.
Cellular, roller and Roman shades are the three most common shade styles, and they feel quite different. Cellular is soft and layered, roller is clean and flat and Roman is tailored and folded. Homeowners in Nashville often ask which is best, and the answer depends on the window, the room and the look they want.
Cellular shades add air pockets that can help comfort. Roller shades suit modern spaces and offer many fabrics from solar to blackout. Roman shades bring fabric warmth and pleats. All three can be cordless or motorized. We bring large samples and let you see each in your own light before you choose.
