When Dallas homeowners look for window treatments that combine luxury, versatility, and function, Roman shades are always near the top of the list. Unlike plain blinds or standard roller shades, Roman shades offer a soft, tailored look that instantly elevates a room. They’re one of the most popular custom window treatments in North Texas and Dallas because they can adapt to nearly any interior style – from Highland Park modern to Lake Highlands traditional.
What Are Roman Shades?
Roman shades are fabric window coverings that fold neatly as they’re raised and hang smooth when lowered. They give you the elegance of drapery with the practicality of shades, which makes them an excellent choice for living rooms, bedrooms, and dining spaces.
Popular Styles of Roman Shades:
-
Flat Roman Shades – sleek and modern, perfect for clean lines.
-
Soft Fold / Hobbled – add dimension with cascading folds.
-
Relaxed – create a casual, welcoming feel with a slight curve.
- Ribbed – horizontal rods inserted into pockets on the front of the shade.
-
Motorized Shades – push-button convenience and smart-home integration.
Roman Shades vs. Roller Shades
Many Dallas homeowners ask: Should I choose fabric shades or roller shades?
-
Roman Shades bring texture, warmth, and design flexibility. They’re ideal when you want the window treatment itself to be a design feature.
-
Roller Shades offer a minimalist look, often with solar or blackout fabrics, and are a great option for media rooms or patios.
The right choice depends on whether you want your shades to blend in or stand out.

Unlike big-box “one size fits all” solutions, we design custom Roman shades to fit your exact window dimensions. That means no light gaps, no awkward lengths, and no cheap hardware. You’ll also get access to hundreds of fabrics—from textured linens to performance blends that resist heat and fading (a big plus in Texas summers).
We serve neighborhoods like:
-
Highland Park & University Park – high-end homes needing luxury fabrics and motorization.

Lakewood & Lake Highlands – family homes where durability and style go hand-in-hand.

- Lower Greenville and Knox Henderson – a blend of all the styles mentioned above!
Motorized Shades
Today’s Dallas homeowners love the convenience of motorized shades. Imagine raising all the shades in your living room with a single remote or scheduling your shades to close automatically at sunset. Motorization works with fabric shades just as well as with roller shades and can even integrate with Alexa, Google Home, or Apple Home.
