What are the Best Roman Shades?
Ask any interior designer about their go-to window treatment, and Roman shades consistently top their lists. This always-popular style delivers a custom, elegant aesthetic and more simplicity than traditional drapery. And as a local, family-owned business, Cindy's Window Fashions has a friendly, talented team ready to help you find the perfect Roman shades for your space.
Which Rooms Work Best for Roman Shades in Homes?
Roman shades work in most rooms of a home, and we typically suggest them for:
- Bedrooms: Roman shades give you a peaceful atmosphere with excellent light and privacy control for better sleep and evening privacy.
- Living Rooms: Their tailored appearance adds sophistication to main gathering spaces without competing with furniture and décor.
- Dining Rooms: Homeowners love how Roman shades offer an elegant backdrop for entertaining, with softened light and an upscale aesthetic.
- Offices: These shades reduce screen glare and establish a professional environment that keeps you focused throughout the workday.
Now let's look at the premium options available from Hunter Douglas.
The Very Best Hunter Douglas Roman Shades
We think you’ll agree that Hunter Douglas offers Roman shade collections that set the industry standard for quality and design. We’ve selected three of our favorites; other designs are available.
Best Roman Shades with No Exposed Rear Cords
Vignette® Roman Shades deliver a clean, contemporary look with consistent folds and concealed rear cords that enhance child safety and simplify cleaning. These horizontally oriented shades come in two pleat sizes (4-inch full fold or 6-inch flat fold), giving you flexibility to match your window proportions.
The Rolling Style features either pleat size and retracts into the headrail for a streamlined look. The Stacking Style works for shallow mounting areas, stacking under a low-profile headrail with the 4-inch full fold.
The fabric selection features a range of opacities, including sheer, light-filtering, and room-darkening options, in an exceptional range of colors and textures. You can browse through elegant silks, casual linens, textured tweeds, and organic natural weaves.
Best Blackout Roman Shades
Vignette® Duolite® Shades combine two shade opacities on one roller system. The front shade comes in a sheer or light-filtering fabric, while the room-darkening back panel provides complete privacy and light blocking when you need it.
Perfect for bedrooms, this dual-functionality design requires less mounting depth than traditional dual roller systems. Hunter Douglas manufactures it exclusively in the Rolling Style with 6-inch flat folds, with PowerView® Automation for effortless, motorized operation.

Alustra® Woven Textures Roman Shades feature carefully sourced global fabrics that appeal to design professionals and discerning homeowners. This exclusive collection showcases sophisticated, natural textures, refined colors, and premium hardware finishes. These shades near Gresham, OR, also have an independent liner for added light and privacy control flexibility.
