EXPLORE THE STYLES

Sheer Shades & Horizontal Sheers

Soft horizontal fabric vanes sit between sheer layers. Adjusting the vane position changes the daylight and view, giving a different effect from the bands of a zebra shade. Compare real samples in open and closed positions, then review fabric opacity, edge gaps and the controls available for your selected system.

Hobbled Roman Shades

Hobbled Romans keep a series of rounded, overlapping fabric folds visible when lowered. They give the window more texture and volume than a flat Roman. We review fabric weight, fold proportions and the depth of the raised stack so it works with the trim and neighbouring treatments.

Flat Roman Shades

Flat Romans present a smoother fabric face when lowered and gather into structured folds as they rise. They suit a tailored fabric treatment, especially when you want a pattern or texture to take the lead. Compare lining, mounting and the space required above the glass before choosing.

TWO DISTINCT STYLES

Choose the effect you love.

Roman shades: a tailored fold

Choose the structure and texture of a fabric shade that gathers into folds. Compare a flatter face with more pronounced folds, available fabrics and the space the raised shade will occupy.

Horizontal sheers: light through layers

Sheer layers and soft fabric vanes create a different effect from Roman folds or zebra bands. Review the open and closed appearance with real samples, including how much privacy the selected fabric provides.

THE DETAILS

A closer look.
A choice that fits.

Roman shades bring the look of fabric into a structured fold as they rise. Sheer shades create a lighter effect, with fabric layers or vanes that soften the view. These are different product families, so we compare them around the atmosphere you want and how you use each room.

Well suited to

Dining rooms, sitting rooms and interiors where fabric texture or a layered window treatment is part of the design.

MAKE IT YOURS

The options to consider.

01

Roman fabrics & folds

Review available fabrics, textures and fold styles with samples. Mounting depth and the stack of fabric at the top are part of the planning.

02

Horizontal sheer light control

Soft horizontal fabric vanes sit between sheer layers. Tilting the vanes changes the light and view; compare fabric opacity and nighttime privacy before selecting.

03

Layering & operation

Coordinate shades with drapery for a more complete treatment. Ask about available cordless or motorized operation for your chosen system.

GOOD TO KNOW

Your questions.
A little clarity.

Roman shades and fabric roller shades
How do Roman blinds differ from horizontal sheer shades?+

Roman blinds fold a fabric panel as they rise. Horizontal sheer shades use fabric vanes between sheer layers for a lighter, adjustable effect. Both can soften a room, but they offer different textures, views and privacy characteristics.

Should I choose a Roman shade or a sheer shade?+

Start with the look and light control you want. Romans emphasise fabric and folds; sheers create a lighter, layered effect. Seeing samples together is the best way to compare them.

Do you repair or restring existing Roman shades?+

We do not offer Roman shade restringing or repairs. We can help you discuss replacement options for your windows.
