What are Roman shades? A timeless window covering

Provided.

Rich, full-length draperies can certainly add drama and elegance to a room. But sometimes you need a clean, streamlined look at the window, especially if space is limited.

Roman shades are a classic staple in décor and are known for the soft, modern polish they bring to any room. In their basic form, Roman shades are simply fabric window coverings that can be raised or lowered with the help of a cord system and rings sewn on the back of the fabric. When raised, the fabric stacks evenly in horizontal folds.

The modern take on a classic Roman shade

Vignette® Modern Roman Shades take the Roman shade concept to the next level of style and tailoring. These modern Roman shades are available in both rolling and stacking options. The rolling style is the only Roman shade on the market without internal lift cords, and the fabric shade rolls completely into the headrail for unobstructed views. The stacking style has no exposed cords for enhanced safety in homes with children and pets. The result with either style is an impeccably clean, uncluttered Roman shade with an equally clean, uncluttered back.

For exclusive fabric choices, consider The Alustra® Collection for Vignette shades. The rich textures, precision tailoring and shimmering details give a look of artistry to the humble Roman shade - and offer such eye-catching interest that you may be tempted to leave them lowered at all times to showcase the beauty of the fabric.

And for light control like never before, Vignette shades take a brand-new approach with their Duolite® option. A flat-fold light-filtering or sheer front shade and an opaque back shade occupy one roller - seamless and simple. Once you completely lower the front shade, you can lower the back shade for light control and privacy. These shades are beautiful, elegant and clean, and they go with any décor.
