Tight, crisp horizontal folds. When raised, the pleats stack neatly into clean geometric lines. The silhouette is structured and elegant, which works well in formal dining rooms and transitional interiors.
Softer folds that don't stack as tightly. There is more fabric movement and a more casual, lived-in feel. Popular in bedrooms and casual living spaces because the look is approachable and warm.
No visible pleats when raised. They roll up from inside a fabric pouch, so the effect is more minimal and modern. A good fit for contemporary homes that want the design of a Roman shade without the fold lines.
A Roman shade folds up in horizontal pleats when you raise it. Unlike a roller shade that rolls into a compact bundle, a Roman shade stacks visibly, and that stack is part of the design. The pleats, the fabric, and the colors are all intentional choices, so Roman shades add a softness and texture that roller and cellular shades can't match. They shine in dining rooms, living rooms, bedrooms, and home offices, where warmth and design matter as much as function.
The real power of Roman shades is the fabric. You are choosing from hundreds of patterns, textures, weights, and opacities. A sheer linen filters light beautifully, a medium-weight cotton reads softer, and a heavier fabric blocks more light and adds visual weight. A room-darkening fabric in a primary bedroom creates darkness without a separate blackout shade, and a light-filtering fabric in a dining room adds a glow while keeping privacy.

Custom roman shades are quoted per project after a free in-home consultation, since the price depends on the fabric or material, the size of your windows, and whether you add motorization. Financing is available through Acorn Finance.
Roman shades fold up in horizontal pleats and add softness and design texture. Roller shades roll into a compact bundle and read more minimal. Roman shades are a design statement; roller shades are functional simplicity.
A standard Roman shade filters light, but adding a blackout or room-darkening liner behind the fabric blocks nearly all of it. That gives you the soft look of a Roman shade with the darkness of a blackout shade, which works well in bedrooms and nurseries.
Regular light vacuuming with a brush attachment keeps dust off the fabric. For spots, blot gently with a damp cloth. Some fabrics can be professionally cleaned, and Ashley can tell you what your specific fabric needs at the consultation.
Yes. Roman shades pair well with drapery panels on either side of the window. The Roman shade handles light and privacy while the drapes add width and softness for a finished, layered look.
Yes. Roman shades can be motorized so you control them by remote, app, or schedule. It is less common than motorizing roller shades, but a good option for hard-to-reach windows or larger shades.
Roman Shades are one of several ways to handle a window. Shades, blinds, shutters, drapery and motorized options all live in one place, with the trade-offs spelled out.
