A Roman shade, combining a built-in valance with a shade for a window, is a complete package for a window treatment. The shade’s stand-alone style makes it a handsome addition in any room, especially in a finished, tailored decor. It’s a good-looking all-in-one combination of valance with a convenient operating mechanism that allows the shade to easily open for daylight and close for privacy.
There’s a lot of choices to consider with a Roman shade that are sold in a wide range of materials, including fabric, natural woven materials, and wood. Other options are light-filtering and room-darkening features, insulation, and cordless lift systems with top down/bottom up operation—a nice safety feature when little ones are in the house.
