Architect Roman Shades

HOW THEY'LL HELP YOU

Interior design, much like fashion, is an ever-changing landscape. Though it can be heavily based on current trends, some styles are so elegant and timeless that they transcend the trends. One example - romans! Interior design divas, meet the window covering that's at the top of the home décor food chain - the Architect Roman Shade.

Stylish, artistic and flawlessly fabulous, these classic window coverings are now more affordable (and versatile) than ever before. They come in enough colors and patterns to boggle the mind and ensnare the senses. With several types of fabric to choose from - linen-like, chenille, velour and diamond shine - there's an Architect Roman Shade to go with almost any look. Order a few samples to see for yourself! 

Stick with standard lift to keep operation simple, or make it even easier by upgrading to one of the other lift options, including continuous cord loop, cordless and remote-control motorization. And if you choose standard or cordless, you can even add a color-coordinated, fabric-wrapped valance to finish off the look. 

Available with either a flat or optional soft fold, these radiant romans provide both style and functionality. Saying hello to your old friend, Darkness? Add a blackout liner. Don't want to black out the light completely? Try an optional light-filtering liner (or no liner at all). For even more functionality, the motorized version can even have multiple window coverings programmed to the same channel on your multi-channel remote so that you can control them all (or a select few) with the touch of a single button.

WHY OTHER HAPPY CUSTOMERS DO

“I was having difficulty finding a covering for a large, high window. Prices were so high at other places I looked. I needed a motorized shade because of the height. I was so pleased with the roman shade! It's exactly what I wanted, and at an affordable price, too!” - Carolyn K., Pennsylvania

Recommendations and Limitations

• Factory will deduct approximately 1/2 inch from the width on inside mount orders to ensure a proper fit.
• Fabric-wrapped headrails come with standard corded and upgraded cordless lift only. Continuous cord loop and motorized lift options have metal headrails with fabric attached to front only.
• Multiple shade orders of different heights may not have the same size pleats. We recommend ordering all shades using the longest length in the room.
• Standard lift cords are located on the back of the shade unless a valance is ordered, then they are located on the front.
• Valance upgrade available with standard corded and optional cordless lift systems only.
• Outside mount valances come with valance returns.
• Fabric will fall 2+ inches from the wall on outside mount. We recommend 4+ inches be added to the width of your shade when outside mounting to prevent light gaps.

• Optional standard and blackout liner comes standard ivory and will be visible to street.
• Color of unlined shades will be seen from exterior.
• Motorization is not available for outside mounts.
