Best Styles of Roman Shades to Suit Every Interior

Modern Roman shades offer a sophisticated twist, aesthetically and functionally, to its original version, dating back centuries. Many Floridian homeowners love these window treatments for their simplicity in looks and use.

Our team at Custom Window Decor of Jupiter can help you explore the different styles of Roman shades from Hunter Douglas.

Origins and the Modern Twist of Roman Shades

Roman shades originated in ancient Rome in the Coliseum to reduce the sweltering heat during day-long games. Today’s modern versions have single fabric panels that neatly fold up horizontally when raised.

They have a structured yet refined look, with many fabrics, textures, and designs available to choose from to match your interior design style.

Aside from their stunning yet simple appearance, Roman shades are wonderfully versatile. Here are some different styles of Roman shades you can choose from:

• Flat Roman Shades: This style is classically simple and modern, perfect for a minimalistic look.
• Waterfall Roman Shades: The waterfall style features soft, cascading folds, adding a traditional and layered effect.
• Recessed Roman Shades: The recessed style creates a polished, built-in appearance within the window frame.
• Fabric Roman Shades: Fabric Roman shades are soft, luxurious, and available in various colors and patterns.
• Natural Fiber Roman Shades: Made from materials like bamboo, Roman shades with natural fibers give a relaxed, organic vibe.
