Though it is difficult to track, roman shades may very well be the oldest form of window treatment in all of history. In Ancient Rome, while structures and buidings were being built, women would drape large damp pieces of fabric over their windows. This fabric helped trap the dust and dirt from entering homes and also keep the heat of the sun out. In more modern times, the fabrics were replaced with a variety of decorative fabrics. Roman shades have evolved from simple pieces of fabrics to fabric with opacity choices and cord options, and most recently to cordless and even top down bottom up products.
Roman shades have come a long way! Today, there are many different fabrics, textures, and opacities to choose from. The Roman shade of today is usually available in either flat or tear drop panel styles. A flat panel gives a more casual,contemporary look and the tear drop is more formal. The brands we carry offer a large selection of texture from smooth classic fabrics like linen or silks, to flowery and ornate fabrics. Most recently, Comfortex introduced a Persona Roman Shade-a design your own product including choosing your own base fabric, patterns, direction of pattern and colors of patterns.
We carry all major brands of roman shades including Hunter Douglas, Levolor, Kirsch, Baliblinds, Comfortex, Graber and Private Label.
