Roman Shades in Aurora, IL

Roman shades give you the soft, layered look of drapery in a compact, easy-to-operate shade. As you raise the shade, the fabric gathers into elegant horizontal folds; as you lower it, the panel falls smooth and flat against the window. That combination of texture and tidiness makes roman shades a favorite for living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms where homeowners want a decorator finish without full-length curtains.

Every roman shade from Creative Blinds & Drapes is custom-sewn to your window and your fabric choice, so the folds hang evenly and the color suits your room.

Flat fold vs. hobbled fold

• Flat fold: crisp, tailored horizontal pleats for a clean, contemporary look.
• Hobbled (teardrop) fold: soft cascading loops that stay full even when the shade is down, for a richer, more traditional feel.

Add a light-filtering or blackout liner to control privacy and light without changing the face fabric you love.
