Roman Shades

Roman shades across Pinellas County

Roman shades fold into soft, tailored pleats when raised instead of stacking into a roll or wrapping around a headrail, which gives them a fabric-forward, designer look that blinds and roller shades don't quite reach. They work as a standalone treatment or layered with plantation shutters or drapery for a more finished room. We connect you with local installers who fabricate every shade to your exact window and fabric choice, add blackout or thermal lining where it's needed, and fit cordless or motorized lift systems.

What do homeowners ask about Roman Shades?

How much do roman shades cost installed?

Custom roman shades typically run $250-600 per window depending on fabric grade, whether you add blackout or thermal lining, and the lift system. A flat-fold style in a standard fabric sits at the lower end, while a hobbled style in a premium fabric with full lining runs toward the top. We'll walk you through fabric samples before finalizing the quote.

How are roman shades different from roller shades?

A roller shade rolls into a tight tube at the top of the window, while a roman shade folds into soft horizontal pleats as it's raised, giving it a more textured, tailored look that reads closer to drapery. Roman shades also come in a much wider range of fabric patterns and textures, which makes them a stronger fit for a formal or design-forward room.

Can I get blackout lining behind a decorative fabric shade?

Yes, this is one of the most common requests we handle. Blackout lining sits behind the decorative face fabric, so you get full room-darkening function without giving up the pattern or color you actually want visible. Thermal lining is also available for rooms where heat gain matters more than complete darkness.

Are roman shades practical in humid Florida rooms?

In a bathroom or another high-moisture space, fabric shades need a mildew-resistant treatment or performance fabric to hold up well over time, and even then they're not usually the first recommendation for a shower-adjacent window. For bedrooms, living rooms, and dining rooms in a normally climate-controlled home, roman shades perform well with no special concerns.

Cordless or motorized, which is available for roman shades?

Both. Cordless lift systems work well for windows you can reach comfortably, while motorized lift is a popular upgrade for taller windows or rooms where you want app or remote control. Either option meets current cordless safety standards, which matters most in bedrooms and living spaces where kids or grandkids spend time.
