What they are

Roman shades with old-house charm in Ypsilanti

A roman shade is a flat panel of fabric that gathers into neat folds as you raise it. Flat-fold styles are clean and tailored, and relaxed styles soften into a gentle curve. Because the fabric is front and center, it’s the easiest way to bring color and pattern to a window.

Roman shades have a classic feel that suits Ypsilanti’s historic homes. On tall Victorian windows, a roman shade mounted inside the frame shows off the trim and adds softness to a high-ceilinged room. In a bay window, a separate shade on each section keeps the shape of the bay. In a bungalow, they bring color to a breakfast nook or bedroom without heavy drapery. Add a blackout liner for bedrooms that face a streetlight, or a privacy liner for rooms close to the sidewalk.

We bring fabric books and samples to your home so you can see patterns next to your furniture, rugs and paint, and we’ll talk through fold styles, liners, cordless lift and mounting for each window.

Operating options & care

Cordless lift and gentle care

Roman shades are often ordered with a cordless lift, so you raise and lower the shade by its bottom edge with no cords hanging down. Continuous loop and motorized options are available on many styles, which helps with wide or heavy shades. We’ll recommend the best control for each window.

To care for roman shades, dust or vacuum them gently on low with a brush attachment and spot clean according to the fabric’s care label. Most fabric shades should not be machine washed; when in doubt, call us before trying a cleaner.

  • Cordless, loop or motorized lift
  • Gentle vacuuming and spot cleaning
  • Inside or outside mount

Roman shade questions

Common questions from Ypsilanti homeowners about roman shades.

Can roman shades work in the bay window of my Ypsilanti Victorian?
Yes. We usually make a separate shade for each section of the bay so it follows the shape of the window. We measure each section, since bay windows in older homes often vary.
Will roman shades cover my original window trim?
Not if they’re mounted inside the frame. Many older windows have enough depth for an inside mount, which keeps the trim visible. We’ll check each window.
What is the difference between flat and relaxed roman shades?
Flat roman shades fold into crisp, even pleats. Relaxed roman shades have a gentle curve at the bottom for a softer, more casual look.
Are roman shades available cordless?
Many styles are available with cordless lift, which is cleaner looking and safer for children and pets.
How do I clean roman shades?
Dust or vacuum gently with a brush attachment and spot clean according to the fabric’s care label. Avoid machine washing.
