What Are the Benefits of Roman Shades?

Roman Shades Regulate Your Home’s Temperature

Roman shades, specifically Hunter Douglas Vignette® Roman Shades, can help regulate your home’s interior temperature. These window treatments can keep you home comfortable year-round due to the fabric’s thick weaves, and if you add a lining, including room-darkening options.

This energy-efficient feature allows you to maintain a comfortably cool interior in the summer and cozy warmth in the winter without overworking your HVAC system.

Roman Shades Boost Light Control

You can use your Roman shades to control the light coming into a room. By raising or lowering the shades and choosing between light-filtering or room-darkening fabrics, you enjoy just the right amount of sunlight in your space, which is excellent for those midday movie marathons on the weekend.

Here’s how each style of Hunter Douglas Roman shades boosts light control:

Alustra® Woven Textures® Roman Shades filter light with a glowing golden touch.
Providence® Woven Wood Shades in the Roman style diffuse light with elegance.
Vignette® Roman Shades include room-darkening lining options.

Alternatively, opt for a dual shade with light-filtering and room-darkening fabric. The shades operate independently, allowing you to find your desired light level. You can also add PowerView® Automation to schedule when your shades are open, when they're closed, and where they're at on your window at any given time.

Roman Shades Provide Sound Absorption

Just like Roman shades' thick, layered fabric enhances energy efficiency, it also boosts sound absorption. Anytime you have fabric or other types of window coverings over your window, they help dull exterior noises, like loud cars driving by or your neighbor’s backyard barbecue, and absorb interior sounds, eliminating echoes.

Roman Shades Improve Interior Design Styles

Roman shades add structure, fullness, depth, and visual interest to your windows. The soft fabric against the hard glass and alongside the walls creates a pleasing aesthetic. These window treatments offer a vast range of fabrics and styles for you to choose from based on your interior design style.

You can easily customize Roman shades by choosing the fabric's opacity, material, and pattern. The Carole Fabrics™ Roman Shades feature over 4,000 fabrics that can elevate your home's visual appearance.
