When you're choosing fabric for Roman shades, you have many options. Cotton, linen, silk, acrylic, and rayon are all great choices for this type of window treatment.

Rayon Polyster is a hybrid fiber that combines the crease resistance and coolness of polyester with the fluid draping of rayon. It's popular for clothing, upholstery, and home decor.

Texture

There are many different fabric types that can be used to create Roman shades. Choosing the right fabric for your needs depends on several factors, such as style, room size, and color scheme.

When choosing a fabric for your Roman shades, keep in mind its texture. A textured fabric can add depth to a space and help it feel more welcoming and comfortable.

Generally speaking, textures evoke specific moods: For example, silk looks luxurious when paired with a crisp white shirt. Corduroy, on the other hand, feels more casual when paired with a plaid flannel shirt.

Texture is one of the most important design elements to consider when creating a look that’s unique and interesting. Whether you’re adding texture to an entire outfit or just a cluster of accessories, it can make your design come together beautifully.

Pattern

Patterns are a great way to make your Roman shades stand out, especially if you want to create a feature point in your room. Choosing the right pattern can depend on the size of your window and the style of your room.

For larger windows, vertical stripes and florals can make the space feel more dramatic. If you have a smaller window, a lighter color will help it feel larger.

Choose fabrics that are woven in a warp-and-weft fashion to ensure durability and weather resistance. Twills such as denim or herringbone are versatile and work well for draperies, insulation and DIY Roman shades.

If you’re looking for a more luxurious look, consider silk or brocade fabric. They are naturally lush and impart a sense of grandeur that will easily translate into your Roman shades.

Light-filtering or room-darkening

When it comes to choosing the right fabric for your Roman shades, the type of light-filtering or room-darkening properties you want can play a big role. For example, if you’re looking for a natural light filtering fabric to let in as much natural sunlight as possible without making the window blindingly bright, you’ll want linen or cotton.

However, if you’re concerned about the amount of privacy you’ll have and need to block out all visible light, consider using a room-darkening fabric like acrylic or polyester. These fabrics are hypoallergenic and easy to clean.

These window treatments are available in a wide range of opacities. Choose from 58 sheer or light-filtering fabrics, 13 room-darkening and seven blackout options to meet your needs. They’re offered in any height between 12 inches and 126 inches and widths between 16 inches and 108 inches.

Inside or outside mount

Roman shades are one of the most versatile window treatment options. They can be paired with drapes for uber traditional rooms, or used on their own in a patterned linen for a minimalist Scandi space.

Choosing the right fabric is crucial to the overall look of the room. To help with this, you need to consider the other fabrics in the room as well as the furnishings and valances.

A good rule of thumb is to choose a fabric that matches the other colors in the room. You can also select a contrasting color for a fun pop of color or a dramatic look.

Depending on your preferred style, you can select an inside mount or outside mount for your Rayon Polyster Roman Fabric. If you choose an inside mount, make sure the headrail is attached flush with the top of your window frame.
