Although roman shades essentially all function the same, their appearance can vary depending on how the fabric is sewn together. Here is a quick rundown of the different fold styles available:

• Plain Fold: This classic, structured fold has seamed horizontal panels, making it perfect for solid or striped fabrics. This is the most popular fold style for roman shades. Just note that big, bold designs might not align perfectly due to the seams. When you lower the shade all the way, it lays nice and flat.
• Flat Fold: This minimalist style is made from a single piece of fabric with no seams. It's sleek and clean, with just a hint of small tack thread stitches on the front where the cords attach. The best part? If you've picked a fabric with patterns or large prints, this style ensures the design stays uninterrupted.
• Soft Fold: Also known as the hobbled roman shade, this style is all about elegance. The fabric loops create a soft, rippled effect, even when fully lowered. It's a great choice if you're going for a more formal, sophisticated look—just remember that larger patterns might get a bit interrupted by those lovely folds.

An extensive array of fabric colors makes our Roman shades extremely versatile, whether you need to soften the light in a room or add a dash of color to an otherwise neutral space.

• Start by choosing a shade style – plain, flat, or soft fold
• You can also consider our No-Tools romans for easy install and simple good looks
• Then pick your favorite color and the design options you need to make the perfect shade

Properly measuring and installing Roman shades ensures they look great and provide optimal functionality, including light control and energy efficiency. Follow these guidelines to get the best results for your window treatments.

Measuring for Roman Shades

Accurate measurements are essential for a perfect fit, whether you’re installing fabric Roman shades, tulip Roman shades, or cascade Roman shades.

• Determine Mounting Style
  • Inside Mount: The shades are installed inside the window frame, offering a clean, streamlined appearance. Measure the width and height of the frame at three points and use the smallest measurements.
  • Outside Mount: The shades cover the entire frame, providing enhanced privacy and precise light control. Measure the width and height of the area you want to cover, including extra space for overlap.
• Consider Window Types
  • Roman shades work well with various window styles, including French doors, standard windows, and tall frames. Be mindful of obstructions like handles or locks, especially for French doors.
• Account for Fabric Preferences
  • The choice of fabric impacts the final look and performance. Thicker fabrics help reduce energy consumption, while sheer options allow more natural light.

Installing Roman Shades

Installing Roman shades is straightforward with the right tools and preparation.

• Prepare Tools
  • Gather a drill, screws, level, and pencil. Most shades include mounting hardware and instructions tailored to their design.
• Install Brackets
  • For inside mount, secure the brackets within the window frame.
  • For outside mount, position the brackets on the wall above or beside the frame. Ensure they are level.
• Attach the Shade
  • Secure the shade to the brackets as per the manufacturer’s instructions. Adjust the shade to ensure smooth operation, whether it’s partially open or fully raised.

Why Accurate Measuring and Installation Matter

Proper installation enhances the performance of Roman shades, ensuring they meet your needs for light control options and energy efficiency. A well-fitted shade can adjust light levels to suit any mood, block drafts, and contribute to a drapery aesthetic that elevates your décor.

In conclusion, roman shades are versatile window treatments that add beauty and functionality to any space. Whether you’re seeking natural light, privacy, or ways to reduce energy consumption, correctly measuring and installing these shades ensures they are both practical and visually appealing.
