Clean, Simple Window Treatments: Roman Shades

 

Who says that taking care of basics like light control and privacy has to be accomplished with boring blinds?  Take a look at these stylish shades.  All offer a beautiful accompaniment to the room decor, but most importantly, are an expression of homeowner's style....

Vignette Roman Shades from Hunter Douglas

A hot, hot trend right now: Screen Shades

 These solar screen shades were once relegated to more commercial settings, but now many discriminating clients who want a minimal look but one with a sharp contemporary edge are opting for these great looking shades! (And they are great UV filters too). 

A Classic Roman made from an Embroidered Sheer and trimmed with a contrasting fabric

 I once had a client tell me that she did not like Roman shades because they were so stiff and angular.  Well,  that cannot be said any more. This beautiful hobbled shade is as elegant as they come and allows soft filtered light into the room.  Can you imagine how warm and inviting this would feel in a master bath or bedroom?

Woven Wood Shades with a Top-Down Lift system

 Top Down shades are the best solution to allowing a nice view to the outside through the natural spacing of the reeds or grasses used on the shade, and a clear view of the treetops above the shades.  This is one of the most popular shades for my clients who desire privacy and a generous allowance of natural light at the same time.

Duette Shades with a Sheer Fabric at the top and an Opaque Fabric at the bottom

 This is a very unique shade application as it is really two in one.  the shade fabric at the top is sheer and allows filtered light, while the bottom fabric is opaque and completely blocks light. The middle bar can be raised an lowered to adjust the proportions of each.  Most importantly though, isn't this just a drop dead beautiful bathroom? Just add your favorite music and a good book and you're ready for your own spa-like retreat.  These shades add so much to the elegance of the room and the overall lighting of the room.

Woven Wood Roman Shades with Contrast Banding

A classic treatment with a personalized accent of fabric to complement the wall color. The fabric banding serves as a personalization of the treatment as well as a protecting layer to keep the edges of these shades smooth and stable.

A special note: All the shades that we fabricate for our clients meet today's safety requirements for children and pets set by the Consumer Protection Safety Board.  If you are considering Roman Shades of any kind be sure to ask about this important aspect of the construction of your shade.
