Can You Combine Roman Shades with Curtains?
June 11, 2021
Yes, you can combine roman shades with drapery, giving a layered look. Curtains can help cover light gaps and make your windows look wider and taller.
Layered window treatments add depth and elegance to any room. Custom drapery is quite useful when you happen to have light gaps around your window shade. Curtains or side panels can help block out that light while creating a stylish layered look. Even though roman shades can cover the sides by at least 3”, light gaps may occur.
Combining window coverings can help make your small windows look even larger. Start by mounting the shades and curtains a few inches above the window frame, and just below the ceiling. Giving the illusion of wider and taller windows. The roman shades will neatly cover the space between the window and the headrail. Extend the drapery below the bottom frame.
Roman shades are classic and with new fabrics coming out every year, they will never go out of style. The most popular roman shade for 2021 is the flat roman shade or flat shade with horizontal seams. These shades are very simple, yet elegant. They take the least amount of fabric which means it's very affordable and doesn’t cost as much as other kinds of roman shades.
