What Are Roman Shades?
Roman shades are fabric window coverings that fold neatly as they’re raised and lay flat when lowered. Their streamlined design combines the softness of drapery with the practicality of blinds, making them a favorite among homeowners and interior designers alike.
At Neutral Curtains, our custom Roman shades are available in various styles, fabrics, and finishes — allowing you to personalize them to match your home décor perfectly.
