Beautiful Trends in Roman Shades

Roman Shades are an elegant, sophisticated way to cover your windows. They particularly compliment bay windows or multiple windows together on the same wall. They work well especially with large molding and trim around the window. 


For a very clean, tailored look, we love to add trim to the edges of a white or off-white shade. The trim is recommended with the flat Roman style rather than a hobbled shade.

 Black trim- our personal favorite. You can do so much with it!

We also really love the natural look- Woven Bamboo Shades, especially finished with off-white drapes.

Roman Shades also look great in bathrooms- they are easy to draw up and down, and they take minimal space. They also offer great privacy.

I love the simplicity of the white Roman Shade in a beautiful, clean white bathroom. Also love the addition of the curtain below the Roman. 

Roman shades are some of the most versatile window treatments in that they can be made in pretty much any fabric you like. There are also many ways to customize each shade, such as decorative trims and tassels, flat or hobbled (folded) fabric, ribbon trims, light and privacy control, and much more.

Fabric Fascination: Ikat!

(photo credit: Denise Michelle Interiors)

We love fabric! Currently, our favorite pattern is the ever-stylish "Ikat". We're finding it all over the place- from pillows, to dresses, to rugs and couches. It's an ever-versatile pattern, since it comes in an amazing array of colors, hues, thicknesses, come prints bolder and some more faint and soft. So far, our favorite variety is grey, and shades of red with fuschia.  We really love the "Bohemian" style it brings to it's surroundings; as well as the ethnic feel. 

We've got our eye on this beautiful rug from Rug Studio (currently on sale!) Genius color combination.

If you lean more toward the bold Ikat- these fabrics from Fabric.com  make it very affordable to change your room by simply making throw pillows or curtains. This is a upholstery-quality fabric, which would make it also great for a sofa or chairs. My favorite is the navy fabric. 

 This living room from Elle Decor showcases a beautiful mixture of different shades of purple- very Parisian.

 These purple Ikat chairs are uniquely contrasted by a black and white zig-zag rug. This is a great example of how well Ikat complements and mixes well with other patterns. Photo from Style-Files.

Again- Ikat contrasts well with other patterns. I love how the designer here paired Ikat in primary colors with the stark-white roman shades and bedding with red-orange trim. The contrast of colorful, bold Ikat looks great with the simple color blocked beds and Roman Shades. Photo from Elle Decor.

Our favorite look, Bohemian, is played out well with the use of Ikat and Suzani. This wall art would be easy to make- in whatever fabric you like! Photo from Elle Decor.

This is one of my favorite versions of Ikat- and contributes well to the modern lines on this lounge chair. Photo from Apartment Therapy.

What about Windows? Well we are a little partial to windows.....and Ikat is a fantastic choice for your windows! Here are some of our favorite designs:

We love this stunning royal blue and white formal dining room- the Ikat drapes create amazing height and drama- which is great considering the walls were left white. Photo from Elle Decor.

For a softer, more relaxed look, we love these drapes from West Elm.
