What Are Custom Roman Shades and How Can They Elevate Your Home?

Custom Roman shades are tailored window treatments crafted to fit your exact window dimensions and style preferences. Combining the softness of fabric drapes with the practicality of shades, they offer elegant light control, privacy, and insulation. VeilVeil provides expertly made custom Roman shades with a wide range of fabrics, patterns, and operating options to enhance any interior.

What Are Custom Roman Shades and How Do They Work?

Custom Roman shades consist of fabric panels that fold neatly as they are raised, creating soft, horizontal pleats. Unlike standard blinds, Roman shades offer a smooth, fabric-covered appearance when lowered and stack compactly at the top when raised. Customization allows you to select fabric type, lining, size, and control mechanisms, ensuring a perfect fit and function tailored to your needs.

How Do You Measure for Custom Roman Shades?

Accurate measurements are crucial:

• Measure the width of the window recess or desired coverage area.

• Add extra width (typically 4-6 inches on each side) for fullness and stack-back.

• Measure from the top of the window frame or mounting point to the sill or desired length.

• Consider inside or outside mount options.

VeilVeil provides detailed measurement guides and expert support to ensure your shades fit flawlessly.
