If traditional drapes just aren’t your style, and conventional window shades seem a bit tame, you’re the perfect candidate for roman window shadings. In an impressive display of beauty and function, these shadings use soft, overlapping fabric folds to turn an ordinary room into a space worthy of high praise. And because the fabric is specially designed to keep its shape, you’ll enjoy the refined appearance for the life of your shading. These shadings are available in a range of colors, from subdued classics to vibrant, contemporary hues.
