#1: Find the Right Fabric for Your Custom Roman Shades

The first feature to consider is the fabric. Select from patterns, prints, and solid colors in numerous fabric types for your custom Roman shades. Heavier fabrics, like wool and velvet, add visual warmth and texture. They can also save energy and tend to be room-darkening fabrics. Lighter fabrics, like silk, linen, and chiffon, filter light and create an airier atmosphere.

Here are a few other fabric considerations for your modern interior design:

  • Color: Have samples of your wall color and furniture coverings available to create a cohesive look.
  • Pattern and Design: Consider the designs and patterns you like and those you don’t.
  • Materials: Touch and explore the fabrics to see what you like.

#2: Choose the Styles You Love

Consider whether you prefer more fullness, like the traditional style, or the flat, more modern style. You can also determine whether your custom Roman shades roll up in the roller shade style or fold up like traditional ones.

Think about other features, including if you want a flat fold, waterfall, or full style. For example, Vignette® Roman Shades and Alustra® Woven Textures® Roman Shades are available in full or flat styles, while Provenance® Woven Wood Shades are available in full, flat, recessed, and waterfall styles. The streamlined, flat fold is most prevalent in minimalist and modern home designs. You can also determine whether the shades should roll or fold up.

#3: Determine How You Want to Maximize Light Control

Hunter Douglas has some fabulous add-ons that make light control for custom Roman shades incredible. With the Bottom-Up/Top-Down feature, you can adjust shades from the top or the bottom to block part of the view or make the most of the sunlight without sacrificing privacy.

#4: Select Your Operating System

We have several operating systems available. UltraGlide uses a retractable wand, LiteRise uses a push-down/pull-up option, and Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation is our motorized solution. PowerView® Automation allows you to control your shades through a smartphone application, remote control, or voice-automated systems.
