The Relaxed Roman Shade works well as a stand alone window treatment. This style features a flat shade with permanent rounded folds at the bottom. These soft folds are achieved by having strings along the outside edge of the shade to raise and lower it and none in the middle. A weighted rod extends along the width of the bottom edge to hold the shade in place. The body of the shade is flat when it is fully closed.
Roman blinds, or roman shades, are clean, sophisticated and stylish.
They dress up a room or window while adding the of shade and privacy.
Relaxed Roman shades are not pleated, but have a relaxed curve
at the bottom giving the look of a soft valance when raised.
Relaxed roman shades are also known as soft shades or London shades. These shades complement smaller windows, less than 48-inches wide, but can be used across a row of windows for greater impact.
This design was conceived by interior designer Sarah Marsh
