Custom Roman shades give Kauai homeowners the tailored look of drapery with the light control of a shade. Window Trends has been outfitting homes across Kauai since 1978, and custom Roman shades are one of the products our clients ask about most.
Roman shades have a distinctive look and structure. They typically lie flat when lowered and fold gradually as you raise them. We carry Roman window shades from Hunter Douglas, Carole™ fabrics, and Horizons®, along with motorized options, so you can find the right fabric, opacity, and control method for your space.
Vignette® Roman Shades for a Modern, Custom Look
Hunter Douglas Vignette® Roman Shades offer the soft folds of a traditional Roman shade without visible rear cords. The collection includes both rolling and stacking styles, along with several ways to control light and privacy throughout the day.
Key Features & Enhancements
- Fabric selection: Choose from a wide range of colors, textures, and designs, including fabrics from The Alustra® Collection.
- Shade styles: Choose a rolling or stacking design, depending on how you want the fabric to fold when raised.
- Light control: Sheer, light-filtering, and room-darkening fabrics let you decide how much natural light comes through.
- Fold sizes: Select a four-inch full fold for more dimension or a six-inch flat fold for a simpler profile.
- Additional options: Top-Down/Bottom-Up operation gives you more control over privacy and daylight, while Duolite® combines two shades in a single treatment. For wider windows, a Two-on-One headrail places two independently operated shades under one headrail.
Alustra® Woven Textures® Roman Shades for Textured Fabrics
Hunter Douglas Alustra® Woven Textures® Roman Shades place greater emphasis on the fabric itself, featuring globally sourced textiles, including new fabrics from designer Lori Weitzner. The collection works especially well when you want the window treatment to bring noticeable texture into the room while still controlling natural light.
Key Features & Enhancements
- Fabric opacities: Sheer, semi-sheer, and semi-opaque options offer varying levels of light and privacy.
- Finishing details: Choose from several top and bottom treatments to tailor the shade to the window and surrounding decor.
- Light control: Add an independent liner for more flexibility without sacrificing the look of the woven fabric.
- Additional options: Top-Down/Bottom-Up operation lets you adjust privacy and light separately, while a Two-on-One headrail can accommodate wider windows with two independently operated shades.
Provenance® Woven Wood Shades for Natural Roman Styles
Hunter Douglas Provenance® Woven Wood Shades are made from natural materials such as wood, reeds, grasses, and bamboo. The variations in those materials give each shade its own texture, making Provenance® a good fit when you want the window to bring a warmer, more organic element into the room.
Key Features & Enhancements
- Style choices: Choose from Roman, Waterfall Roman, Recessed Roman, and Vertical Drapery styles.
- Weave selection: Materials range from open, airy weaves to more opaque textures, including the lightweight Fine Weaves.
- Made for everyday use: The shades are designed to minimize stretching, bowing, and breakage over time.
- Light control: Add an independent liner for more privacy, light control, or insulation from the shade.
- Finishing options: Top-Down/Bottom-Up operation, decorative valances, and edge banding give you additional ways to customize the finished treatment.
Carole™ Fabrics Roman Shades for Custom Tailoring
Carole™ fabrics Roman Shades give you more freedom to customize the shape and finishing details of the shade. With six Roman styles, exclusive fabrics, decorative trims, and coordinating soft treatments available, there's a lot of room to build the design around the rest of your space.
Key Features & Enhancements
- Fabric selection: Choose from the Carole™ fabrics collection, including exclusive patterns and designs offered specifically for their custom treatments.
- Roman styles: Flat, Front Fold, Reverse Fold, Hobbled, Slouch, and Soft Roman styles give the fabric a different shape and amount of fullness at the window.
- Lining: Every Roman shade includes a liner, with room-darkening and other liner options available for more control over incoming light.
- Decorative details: Cords, tapes, fringes, and attached flat valances can be added to customize the finished shade.
- Coordinating pieces: Because Carole™ fabrics also offers custom drapery, pillows, and fabric by the yard, you can carry the same fabric or complementary materials into other parts of the room.
Horizons® Natural Roman Shades with Liner and Control Options
Horizons® Natural Roman Shades come in more than 120 fabric choices, with liner and control options that let you tailor each shade to how you use the room.
Key Features & Enhancements
- Styles: Choose from Classic Roman, Hobbled Roman, or Waterfall Roman shades.
- Materials and linings: Twin shades pair a Roman shade on the front with a roller shade on the back that works as a movable lining, while privacy and blackout liners attach to the shade or operate independently.
- Controls: Options include motorization, UpRight Clutch, and Cordless ONE.
Blackout Roman Shades and Room-Darkening Options for Kauai Bedrooms
Roman shades can give you considerably more control over incoming light when they're paired with the right fabric or liner. For bedrooms, guest rooms, and sunrooms, look for room-darkening fabrics or add a liner behind the material you've chosen. Many homeowners choose blackout Roman shades for these rooms when they want to block nearly all incoming light. An independent liner is especially useful with woven Roman shades because you can keep the texture you liked in the first place while adding more privacy and coverage when you need it.
Your options vary by collection. Vignette® Roman Shades are available in room-darkening fabrics and can be configured with Duolite® for two levels of light control in one treatment. Carole™ fabrics offers room-darkening liner options, while Alustra® Woven Textures® Roman Shades and Provenance® Woven Wood Shades can be paired with independent liners. We'll help you compare those options based on how dark you want the room and how you want the shade to look during the day.
Motorized Roman Shades for Kauai Homes
Motorized Roman shades make the most sense when you expect to adjust them throughout the day, especially on tall windows or groups of shades that you would otherwise raise and lower one at a time. Hunter Douglas Roman shades can be paired with PowerView® Automation, and Window Trends also installs motorized shading systems from Lutron and other manufacturers.
The right system depends on the shade you choose and how your home is set up. Some motorized treatments can run on battery or rechargeable power, while low-voltage wiring is another option for new construction and remodels. If you already use a whole-home automation system, we can also explore how your Roman shades integrate with your lighting and other connected features in your home.
