Roman shades are a popular window treatment in many homes across Florida. They combine the hard and the soft, featuring architectural lines with soft rolling or stacking folds of luxurious fabric. Roman shades can add sophistication and depth to many window and door styles and can be customized complement any interior design motif.

Today, our team at Supershade South will discuss the benefits of Roman shades and the differences between outside and inside mounts, and how this important choice can change the look of your window treatments.

The Benefits of Custom Roman Shades 

Design Versatility: Since custom Roman shades come in a wide array of styles, fabrics, and fold styles, they are a great choice if you like a lot of options.

A Good Fit for Different Areas: Roman shades are an excellent fit for French doors, small windows, and oversize windows. Roman shades will add depth to your windows without taking up much space.

When adding Roman shades to your interior, one choice to consider is which way to mount your Roman shades to your window frame.

Roman Shades with an Inside Mount

Inside Window Mounting means the shade is installed within the perimeter of the window’s frame. Inside mounts offer a clean, streamlined look and are a great choice your home has trim or woodwork around your window that you want it to be part of the overall look.

One important factor to keep in mind is that exact measurements are essential. The shade will not reach both sides if the measurement is off by just a centimeter.

Roman Shades with an Outside Mount

Outside Window Mounting means the shade is installed outside the window’s frame. This mounting type is perfect for hiding unsightly or damaged window trim or hiding the hard lines of a window from view. Outside mounting will offer a more maximalist and luxe look vs. an inside mount's streamlined and modern look.

Roman shades boast soft folds of fabric and strong architectural lines. They can bring any room to life by adding personality and elegance via a wide selection of fabrics. Whether you prefer maximal, traditional, modern, or contemporary interior styles, Roman shades will blend in with any design motif.
