Flat Roman Shades

With a smooth facade that folds neatly when raised, flat roman shades offer clean lines and a contemporary look.

Slatted Roman Shades

Sturdier and with more structure than a flat roman shade, a slatted roman shade is constructed using wooden slats that are fitted between the fabric panels.

Soft Fold Roman Shades

Also known as a hobbled roman shade, the soft folds of this shade stay in place even when lowered. This creates the effect of softness and volume.

Relaxed Roman Shades

Best used with soft, light-filtering fabric, relaxed roman shades are constructed to include a swag at the bottom instead of a straight line.

Motorized roman shades are an additional option for most custom roman shade styles, and Roseworks Fabrication has years of experience crafting roman shades to fit perfectly with motorized hardware. Contact us to learn how we can help you or your clients.
