Roman shades in linen, cotton, woven and patterned fabrics that fold in soft pleats when raised, lined or unlined, flat, hobbled or relaxed, adding warmth and tailored style to a room.
Roman shades give a window the softness of fabric with the neatness of a shade. They fold into pleats as they rise and hang flat when lowered. Homeowners in Nashville use them in dining rooms, bedrooms, kitchens and living rooms for tailored warmth.
We bring fabric samples and show styles: flat, hobbled, relaxed and pleated. We discuss lining, from sheer to blackout, and interlining for body. We explain cordless and motorized lifts and the care each fabric needs. After measuring and ordering, we install the headrail level, check the pleat folds and adjust so the shade hangs evenly and stacks neatly when raised. Fabric is everything with a Roman shade, and not every fabric folds well. Stiff or heavy weaves can bulk up, and slippery fabrics can fall unevenly. We show how each sample folds in the hand, and we explain lining and interlining choices that add body. We also explain how many folds to expect when the shade is raised, so the stack fits your window.
Flat, hobbled and relaxed Roman shades look different when lowered and raised, and we show samples.
Linen, cotton, woven and patterned fabrics change the mood, and lining changes light control.
Cord, cordless and motorized lifts affect how the shade folds and how you use it.
The headrail is mounted level and the folds are set so the shade stacks neatly.
