Frequently Asked Questions
What are Roman shades?
Roman shades are fabric window coverings that fold into horizontal pleats when raised. They offer a softer and more decorative look than roller shades while still providing privacy and light control.
What's the difference between flat-fold, hobbled, and relaxed Roman shades?
Flat-fold Romans stack in crisp, structured pleats — best for modern interiors. Hobbled (waterfall) Romans have cascading loops visible even when lowered — ideal for traditional spaces. Relaxed Romans feature a gentle curve at the bottom for a casual, organic look.
Can Roman shades be motorized?
Yes. Roman shades can be motorized with Somfy or Lutron systems for remote, app, and voice control. Battery-powered motors are the most common for retrofits; hardwired motors are ideal for new construction.
What fabrics work best for Roman shades in NYC?
Linen and linen blends are the most popular for their natural drape and light filtering. Cotton holds patterns well, silk adds formal elegance, and velvet provides maximum light blocking and sound dampening.
Are Roman shades good for NYC apartments?
Yes. Roman shades work well in NYC apartments because they combine custom design, privacy, and light control in a compact window treatment that suits co-ops, condos, and brownstones.
Do Roman shades come in blackout options?
Yes. Roman shades can be made with blackout lining for bedrooms, nurseries, and rooms that need stronger light blocking. The lining is sewn behind the face fabric.
Do you install Roman shades in Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan?
Yes. We install Roman shades throughout Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Long Island, Hoboken, and surrounding areas with free in-home consultations.
