A Note from the Studio
A Roman shade is tailoring, not window covering. The fabric has weight, the folds have intention, and when it is lowered the window wears it the way a suit hangs from good shoulders. We bring the fabric books to your home because linen must be judged in your light, never ours. — The iL Progetto Studio, San Diego
Roman Shades — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between flat, hobbled, and relaxed Roman shade styles?
Flat Roman shades fold into clean, horizontal pleats when raised and hang as a perfectly smooth panel when lowered — the most contemporary look. Hobbled (or "waterfall") Romans have permanent, cascading folds sewn into the face fabric so they show even when the shade is fully lowered — more textural and traditional. Relaxed Romans have a soft, bowed bottom hem that curves gently even when lowered — a casual, organic alternative to the crisp flat style. We bring fabric and style samples to your home so you can see each style in your light.
Can Roman shades be blackout?
Yes. Any Roman shade can be made with a blackout lining that sits behind the face fabric. The face fabric determines the room's visual look; the lining blocks all incoming light. Blackout-lined Roman shades are a popular choice for bedrooms because they offer the warmth of fabric with full light control.
How do I clean Roman shades?
Most Roman shade fabrics are dust-able with a soft brush attachment on a vacuum. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth handles small marks. We recommend a professional upholstery cleaning service for full cleaning, which most Roman shades only need every few years. We provide fabric care instructions with every installation and can recommend cleaning services.
What rooms are Roman shades best suited for?
Roman shades work beautifully in any room where you want the softness of fabric but prefer the cleaner profile of a shade over full drapery. They are particularly popular in kitchens (where drapes can collect cooking grease), dining rooms, bedrooms, and home offices. They are less common in bathrooms — moisture-prone environments — though performance fabrics and blackout linings can handle moderate humidity.
