roman shades


Roman shades are a fantastic way to design a space with a wide range of textures and colors. Soft fabrics are seamed and dressed to fold as they raise up, allowing you to use fabrics that are otherwise not usable on other systems, like roller or cellular shades.

With this classic treatment, you are bound to find a fabric for every style. Roman shades are said to date back to the construction of the Roman Colosseum, when locals needed help keeping the construction dust out of their homes. To help with their dust problem, they started draping wet fabric over their windows. After the demand arose, merchants began to carry patterned fabrics that were both functional and stylish.

Shade & Louver offers motorization of your Roman shades with Vertilux Celtic motors, which provide you with the ability for synchronization into your Vertilux smart home system, breathing new life into history.
