PROUDLY CANADIAN OWNED & OPERATEDWhat Are Roman Shades?
Roman Shades are fabric window treatments made from a single continuous panel of fabric. When raised, the fabric folds neatly into soft, even stacks; when lowered, it lays flat or forms elegant pleats depending on the selected fold style.
Unlike slatted blinds, Roman Shades offer a more refined, tailored appearance—combining the visual appeal of drapery with the everyday convenience of a shade.

Roman Shade Fold Styles
After choosing your fabric, the next step is selecting the fold style. Each creates a distinct look:
Flat Fold (Classic / Flat Style)
A clean, streamlined design where the fabric lies flat when lowered and stacks neatly when raised. Ideal for modern interiors and patterned fabrics.
European Fold
Similar to the flat style, but with a gently curved bottom when raised—adding a subtle European-inspired detail.
Soft Fold
Creates relaxed, cascading folds that add depth and a traditional feel to the room.
Hobbled Fold
The most drapery-like option, featuring generous, continuous folds even when the shade is lowered. Perfect for a rich, elegant appearance.
