Upgrade with Customizations for your Roman Shades
Roman shades are a stand-out window treatment option, but to elevate the ones in your home, consider the different options available for customizations to make your treatments not only one of a kind but also functionally optimal for your household.
Customizations for modern Roman shades include upgrades to the efficiency and style of operating systems, a greater range in fabric choices, including designer lines, and the addition of light-filtering liners that improve the shade’s room-darkening abilities. Hunter Douglas makes several styles of Roman shades, including:
- Vignette® Modern Roman Shades
Each style has unique features and options for customization due to its varied designs. Choosing which shades you want depends on which features and which customizations prove to be the most desirable for your household.
Top Customizations for Roman Shades
- Motorization: The best customization for Roman shades is something you can’t even see: motorization. Motorized shades are precise in their movements and extremely easy to use, so they are great on all types of windows around the house, including hard-to-reach windows. PowerView® Automation is available on Vignette® Modern Roman Shades. The motorized system has several options for user-friendly interfaces, including a handheld remote, wall unit, online app, and integration into smart-home systems. Upgrading from a manual Roman shade to a motorized one with automated options for control is an upgrade to functionality that makes life easier daily.
- Fabric Choice: Roman shades are fabric-forward treatments, and so one of the most visible upgrades available for new shades is in the fabric choice. The Design Studio® collection of high-end fabrics from Hunter Douglas includes hundreds of different colors, textiles, and prints to choose from and several lines of designer fabric such as the Rebecca Atwood fabric collection. The renowned author and textile designer have curated a print collection for Hunter Douglas that showcases what Atwood is best known for, her striking use of pattern and color. Learn more about using color and design in interior décor from Atwood’s two books (Living with Color and Living with Pattern), then bring those lessons home with Roman shades customized with Atwood designer fabrics from Hunter Douglas.
- Backings and Liners: Roman shades can be customized with light-filtering or light-blocking liners that change the functional versatility of shades and the way the color and print of the fabric reads. Unlined Roman shades in rich primary hues or detailed prints become increasingly vibrant in sunlight, or by adding a liner, those same shades can become more adept at blocking light. Vignette® Modern Roman Shades can also be upgraded to Vignette® Duolite® Roman Shades that incorporate two treatments, one light-filtering, and one room-darkening into a single-window shade. The overall treatment can control light on several different levels. Duolite® Roman shades are great, especially in rooms that serve multiple purposes throughout the day, like the bedroom, because they can be flexible and responsive to different residential needs and lighting situations.
