Roman Shades
The warmth of drapery with the tidy line of a shade.
★★★★★5.0 · 51 Google reviewsRoman shades bring the softness of drapery to a window without the floor-length commitment. Real fabric folds stack neatly at the top when raised, then fall in clean horizontal pleats when lowered — tailored, quiet and warm in a way a vinyl blind never is.
Choose flat folds for a crisp modern line, hobbled for permanent soft loops, or relaxed for a gentle curve at the hem. Add a room-darkening or blackout lining for bedrooms and nurseries. Every shade is cut and sewn to order in our Kitchener workshop.

Questions about roman shades
Roman shades or drapery — which should I choose?
A Roman shade sits inside or just above the window and stacks tidily at the top, so it suits rooms where floor-length panels would be in the way — over a sink, behind a sofa, in a dining room. Drapery covers more wall, softens a whole room and insulates a little better. Many of our clients use Romans on the smaller windows and drapery on the main one.
Will the room still be dark enough to sleep?
With a blackout lining, yes. The fabric face keeps its texture and colour while the lining behind it blocks the light. Because a Roman hangs flat against the opening, ask us about an outside mount if you want to cut the light gap at the edges entirely.
How do the fold styles differ?
Flat folds give a crisp, tailored, modern line. Hobbled folds keep soft loops of fabric even when the shade is down, for a fuller, more traditional look. Relaxed folds leave a gentle curve at the bottom hem — casual and coastal.
Measurement & installation
We measure every window ourselves and our own installers do the mounting — the fit is guaranteed. Typical turnaround is fast because everything is produced locally in Kitchener, Ontario.
Motorization
Add quiet motors with remote control on any of our shades — ideal for hard-to-reach windows and a cleaner, cord-free look.
Warranty & care
As the manufacturer, we stand directly behind our product — no overseas claims process. Care is simple: light vacuuming or a gentle wipe keeps fabrics fresh for years.
