Design
Why designers reach for roman shades first
Roman shades introduce pattern and texture the way a rug or a piece of upholstery does, which is why they show up so often in curated, designer-led rooms.
A printed linen or a woven texture on a roman shade reads as a considered design choice, not just a window covering. Because the fabric stacks rather than gathers, bold patterns stay legible instead of disappearing into folds.
- Pattern and color anchor a room's palette
- Trim and banding pick up other finishes nearby
- Works as the single decorative element in a minimal room
Fabric performance
Light filtering face fabric vs. fully lined
The same face fabric behaves very differently once a lining is added behind it.
Light filtering, unlined
Daylight glows through the weave, colors stay true from outside, and the room keeps a soft, bright feel. Best for living and dining rooms during the day.
Lined or blackout
A lining is sewn behind the face fabric to add privacy, block light, or protect the fabric from sun. The front pattern looks identical from inside; the back reads as a uniform color from the street.
Fold styles
Matching a fold style to the room
Flat fold
Crisp, architectural lines that suit contemporary kitchens and offices.
Relaxed fold
A soft, gently curved hem for casual living rooms and bedrooms.
Hobbled fold
Deep, cascading folds even when the shade is fully lowered, a traditional, layered look.
Measuring & fit
Getting a roman shade to hang square
Because the fabric is cut and sewn flat before it is mounted, an accurate measurement matters more here than on almost any other treatment.
01
Confirm mount type
Inside mount for a tailored, recessed look; outside mount where depth is shallow or blackout is needed.
02
Measure width and drop at three points
Openings are rarely perfectly square, so we record the narrowest width and account for it in the cut.
03
Check the stack height
The folded shade needs headroom above the glass, we confirm there is enough clearance before ordering.
04
Cut, sew and mount to that opening
Each shade is made to the specific window it will hang in, not a standard size.

Care and everyday use
- Dust folds gently with a soft brush attachment rather than a damp cloth
- Raise fully now and then so folds don't set a permanent crease in one position
- Keep lined shades away from direct radiator heat, which can shorten fabric life
- Spot-clean face fabric per the manufacturer's care code, most are not machine washable once sewn

Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Roman Shades
Can Roman shades be blackout?
Yes. A blackout lining can be added behind the decorative face fabric to reduce incoming light. An outside mount can also help reduce light entering around the edges.
Are Roman shades suitable for wide windows?
Yes, but very wide windows may be better suited to two separate shades installed side by side. This can help the fabric lift more evenly and maintain a balanced appearance.
How long does a custom Roman shade take from order to installation?
Roman shades are made to order, so fabrication takes time after measurements and fabric selections are confirmed. ModuShade provides an estimated timeline during the consultation.
Can patterned fabric be used on a wide Roman shade?
Yes. Patterned fabrics can be used, although very wide openings may require two shades to help maintain a consistent pattern and balanced folds.
Do Roman shades work well over a radiator or deep sill?
They can be suitable for these windows, but the installation position and clearance should be assessed before ordering. Avoid placing fabric too close to a heat source.
