Roman shades
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.

Are Roman shades good for bedrooms?
Yes. Room-darkening fabrics and linings are available, and a Roman shade's soft folds make a bedroom feel finished.
Flat fold or full fold?
Flat folds look crisp and modern and suit busy patterns. Full or relaxed folds look softer and more traditional. We bring samples so you can see both at your window.
Can Roman shades be motorized?
Many can. Vignette® Modern Roman Shades are available with PowerView® Automation, which is especially handy on wide or hard-to-reach windows.
Are Roman shades safe for kids and pets?
Cordless lift systems are available, and Vignette® shades have no exposed cords on the back. We'll point out the safest options for your home.

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!
I had a wonderful experience with the well dressed window! They have amazing customer service, and wonderful staff. They did an amazing job on my skylight blinds and did a great job getting it installed and upgraded to the solar powered blinds. They respond quickly when I call. I recommend this team for all of your hunter Douglas blind needs.
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!
We love the product - Hunter Douglas SkyLift shades that Well Dressed Window installed a few years ago - they look great and gently block the sunlight when it's too strong..... And the service is also terrific! Staff associate Nolan changed the batteries in the lift motor and he couldn't have been more professional and smart - the motor is hidden away but he found it and video'd it so that next time the process will go even more smoothly! A-1 service!!!
I am so pleased with my window treatments. Corey and Maddie’s recommendations were so helpful. My motorized woven woods are a dream, color choice is perfect and warms up my living room and dining beautifully. The roller shades in my kitchen are great too. Corey was fun to work with and had great suggestions while listening to what I told him I was trying to achieve. They measured and then installer remeasured before they were ordered to insure accuracy which I greatly appreciated. Installation was smooth and very professional, which I appreciated as well. Even Cathy and the showroom office were helpful. A small, family run business, that was great to deal with.
I would highly recommend The Well Dressed Window. They were very helpful, prompt, and professional. My husband & I purchased beautiful dual sheer shades for our living room. B from The Well Dressed Window came to our house with lots of samples & did all the careful measurements. The shades were installed shortly thereafter & fit & looked wonderful.
Bridget and Greg of The Well Dressed Window came out and helped us choose the perfect honeycomb shade for our bedroom. When things were not perfect, they came back and fixed all problems including providing us with a new sliding door shade at no cost to us. Before Bridget and Greg, we worked with Bridget's parents, who were also wonderful people. We feel like family and will always use The Well Dressed Window for our window treatments. We highly recommend them. You will be happy, guaranteed!
I absolutely love my window treatments that I purchased over a year ago! After a complete remodel we wanted quality shades for our windows and they were very helpful. We purchased gliding window panels and couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you!
