Roman shades have a long, powerful history in the world of window coverings. Believe it or not, that history actually dates back to their namesake – Roman households. In ancient Roman, people would drape wet cloths over the windows to eliminate dirt and debris and keep the heat at bay. The longer the tradition continued, the more ornate it became. Individuals started varying their color choices to include fabrics with beautiful patterns and styles so they could complement the decor while still getting the functionality they wanted. Today, Roman shades have endured as one of the best choices in window coverings, and Hunter Douglas has taken them a step further with their Vignette Modern Roman Shades.
What Are They?
Hunter Douglas bills these as the absolute perfect Roman shade. There are no exposed rear cords, which is a safety issue in many homes today. More than that, though, these feature a uniform, contoured, flat folds. They’ve also included a number of new fabric choices that will help to fit into any decor as well as a Duolite option that allows you to select a light-filtering front shade along with a room-darkening panel in the back on a single roller so you can have the best of both worlds in a single window.
Are There Other Types of Roman Shades?
There are many other types of Roman shades available today, but this version has several options the competitors just can’t match. If you’re shopping for Roman shades, however, it’s best to consider all of your options before you make a selection that works for your home.
