Custom Window Coverings
Roman & Woven Shades for Modern Light Control
Luxurious fabric folds and organic textures that bring warmth and elegance to every window.
What Are Roman & Woven Shades?
Roman shades are soft fabric panels that fold into elegant horizontal pleats when raised. Woven shades use natural materials like bamboo, jute, and grasses to create rich, organic textures. Together, they represent the most decorative window covering family.
From structured flat-fold Romans to cascading hobbled styles, and from tightly woven bamboo to airy grass weaves, this category offers the widest range of visual warmth and interior design impact.

Best Rooms for Roman & Woven Shades
Find out where roman & woven shades perform best in your home.
Living Room
Roman shades add soft elegance and serve as a design centerpiece — especially in formal or transitional living spaces.
Bedroom
Line with blackout fabric for sleep-friendly darkness while maintaining a luxurious front-facing look.
Kitchen
Flat-fold Romans in washable fabrics keep kitchens stylish without interfering with counters or sinks.
Bathroom
Moisture-resistant woven shades or synthetic Roman fabrics bring warmth to bathrooms while handling humidity.
Light & Privacy Control
Light Control
Roman shades with light-filtering fabrics create a warm, diffused glow. Woven shades vary — tighter weaves block more light while open weaves allow dappled natural light similar to dappled shade.
Privacy
Lined Roman shades provide full privacy. Unlined woven shades may allow some visibility at night — adding a privacy or blackout liner solves this completely.
Day vs Night
During the day, natural woven textures create beautiful light patterns. At night, opt for lined options for full privacy, or enjoy the ambient glow of unlined natural weaves.
