Which Roman Shade Style Should I Choose?

Flat Roman Shades

This style of the Roman Shade hang flat when lowered and fold neatly to the top when raised. In this style of Roman shade, the slats or bars are stitched at the back with the lining. It is also know as Back Slat shade. 

Relaxed Roman Shade

In this style, there are no horizontal slats. These shades bring in a softer look in the room with a curved (relaxed) edge at the bottom. You would not see any pleats or folds when it is all the way down. It is mainly decorative and may require some styling when you raise it. Relaxed shade look best when stitched with a medium weight Cotton fabric.

Hobbled Roman Shade

A hobbled shade is constructed with loops of fabric that create a soft, rippled effect down the length of the fabric. Hobbled fabric features soft cascading folds that are neatly arranged at the top and continue down the window when the blind is closed. It is also knows as Waterfall Roman Shade.
