Creating One-of-a-Kind Roman Shades

Decorating your windows can be more than just a style decision. Equally important is how your new shades function in your space. When thinking about a window treatment that looks great and performs well in all kinds of interiors, what you may actually need is a hybrid of two treatments with features that are smartly aligned into a single window fashion.

Hunter Douglas Vignette® Roman Shades near Dubuque, Iowa (IA) and Galena, Illinois (IL)

When it comes to one-of-a-kind Roman shades, Vignettes Home has multiple ways to combine the modern and elegant folds of Roman Shades with function of other Hunter Douglas window coverings to make individualized treatments suited to both your personal tastes and the kinds of performance needs you may have for your space.

Combining Roman Shades with Woven Wood Shades

Provenance® Woven Wood Shades are unique in their use of organic materials like woods, reeds, bamboo, and grasses, which are woven into fabrics perfect for window coverings. These organic textiles have a great deal of textural interest and make dynamic neutral shades to anchor both design and color schemes within a room. The woven wood fabrics have a raw weave but polished aesthetic and come in a range of opacities. The organically inspired fabrics can also be fashioned into several different types of window treatments including vertical drapery and one-of-a-kind Roman shades in classic or waterfall style.

Looking for a woven shade in a more refined fabrication? Alustra® Woven Textures® Roman Shades offer the same woven textures but in a globally-sourced collection of fabrics in sheer, semi-sheer, and semi-opaque transparencies.

Combining Roman Shades with Blackout Treatments

Vignette® Modern Roman Shades are a classic Roman shade with a crisp, contemporary design and a variety of different folds and closure styles. You can customize this shade from sheer to room-darkening capabilities, depending on your choice of different liners.

The ingenuity of the Duolite® system from Hunter Douglas imbues the ability to create blackout interiors on Vignette® Modern Roman Shades with the introduction of a second, blackout treatment. The Duolite® system takes a light-filtering shade and adds a second, room-darkening shade on the back with the use of an innovative dual-use header. The resulting treatment is like having two shades in one for expanded light control that is easy to use as the shades are engineered to work in tandem to tackle any number of interior lighting needs.

Combining Roman Shades with Drapery

With the creation of layered window treatments, homeowners can craft a one-of-a-kind style that incorporates Roman shades into a larger window fashion. Pairing well with Roman shades in multi-tiered design is drapery, whose diverse fabric choice can complement the textures, colors and light control ability of the underlying Roman shade layer. Drapery blocks any light leaks around the edges of Roman shades for darker interiors while the Roman shades provide an additional layer of insulation under drapery to make the treatment more efficient at blocking unwanted energy loss or gain. In the Hunter Douglas Design Studio™ collection homeowners will find complementary fabrics that can be used on both Roman shades and drapery for stylized, coordinated window fashions.
