Roman Shades in Bloomington-Normal, IL
Roman shades add softness and a finished, tailored look, which is why they're a favorite in the dining rooms and bedrooms of classic Bloomington homes. Choose crisp flat folds for a modern feel or soft rounded folds for a traditional one. At our Normal showroom you can see how different fabrics fold and stack, and our designers will help you coordinate them with your walls, floors and furniture.
What to know before you choose.
Roman shades fold fabric into soft, horizontal pleats as they rise, giving a window the tailored warmth of drapery in a shade. They're at home in bedrooms, dining rooms and kitchens, and in traditional and modern rooms alike.
Choose a flat fold for a clean, contemporary look or a fuller fold for something softer and more classic, in fabrics from light filtering to room darkening.

Will a Roman shade fit inside the deep window frames of an older home?
Often, yes. Inside mounts keep the original trim visible. Your designer will measure the depth of each frame and recommend an inside or outside mount for every window.

The Vignette® Modern Roman Shades exceeded our expectations. They add a touch of elegance to the entire room. The fabric Bridget helped me pick out looks perfect in our space. Greg and Nolan installed them quickly and neatly. They helped me install the app and provided me with all the instructions on maintenance and care. Working with Bridget was a great experience. Highly recommended The Well Dressed Window!
Love, love, love the ease of decision making for my new abode. Working with Bridget and Tina made it a breeze. Very knowledgeable gals! Order came in a very timely manner. Appointment set for installation. Installers made a quick, but very thorough installation, and left me a very satisfied customer. I’d highly recommend The Well Dressed Windows to anyone looking for new or updating their window coverings!
Had a wonderful experience! I just put a down payment on my window treatment. This is a family business I so enjoyed working with Bridget. Bridget is an outgoing person that you think you have known her for years. She makes you feel very comfortable and there was never ever any pressure . We went through many books to find the right fabric came up with a design for the window. I felt very relaxed and it was quite fun. I would highly recommend her and her entire staff. Everyone was very delightful to deal with!
We’ve used the Well Dressed Window multiple times for our home, and are always more than pleased with the attention to detail, consultation with the designers and the installations. Taylor helped pick out our latest shades and we could not be more thrilled with how they turned out. Installation was very precise and efficient. We love this business and will continue using them for any window covering needs!
The staff is amazing! Pleasant and thorough … double checking measurements, walking through the process from beginning to the actual installation. We are doing the window treatments in three phases as we are in the middle of remodeling the primary bedroom and bath. No pressure sale … they worked around our remodeling schedule. They did the final measuring for all three phases at one time … saving us $$$. Looking forward to the second and third phases.
We had a broken blind with some other issues (installed by another company). I called TWDW and they were very responsive & eager to help us out. Within a few days our blinds were fixed. They gave us valuable feedback and a plan moving forward. Great people, very kind! We will definitely continue to use them.
