Roman shades are one of the most popular window treatments, featuring timeless style and classic appeal. Often referred to as roman blinds, they have long been considered a staple in design. The material of roman window shades refers to a window covering where fabrics lies flat against the window, or glass door, when closed. When the shade is opened, the fabric folds neatly onto itself as the shade rises, resulting in a neat window treatment with sculpted fabric folds. Today, there are a number of custom roman shades in style, variations of that classic folding fabric design.
At Seeview Blinds & Shutters, we love pairing clients with the perfect style and function in their homes. Roman window shades are a stunning choice with incredible lifestyle benefits:

Roman Shades are often placed in two simple categories based on how the fabric collects at the top of the treatment when the shade is raised: Stacking or rolling. The stacking style of Roman shades is the traditional design wherein the fabric folds gather, resting upon themselves, stacked horizontally at the top of the window frame when the shade is open. The rolling style of roman shades have a round headrail at the top of the window, where fabric rolls up and out of the way when the shade is opened. Both styles look similar when closed, however, when open the operational differences become apparent as stacking shades have folds of fabric at the top while roller shades have a sleeker look with the bulk of the fabric rolled around the header tube and largely out of sight.
For those looking for the industry best when it comes to quality of material and variety of design choices, turn to Hunter Douglas and their collections of custom roman shades. Hunter Douglas produces various types of stylish Roman shades that are sold at Gotcha Covered Seeview Blinds and Shutters as well as several different styles of operational systems, allowing homeowners to customize their shades not only in design, but also in functionality.
Custom roman shades have a place in nearly every room of your home, due to their ability to style the windows beautifully while providing functional benefits, such as light control, privacy and energy efficiency. Roman blinds work great in small rooms because their clean lines and window-hugging design doesn’t overpower the space. Yet, they are also great for large windows in a living room or dining room because of their easy maneuverability and the advantages they have for the room’s interior design. Fabric is an amazing way to play with or add color, pattern, texture, and depth to a design scheme. Roman window shades also pair nicely with drapery, side panels, or a valance/cornice for a polished window fashion customized to your specific tastes. Furthermore, they can be built to fit specialty-shaped windows and most styles of doors including sliding glass doors, patio doors, and French doors.
