The Red Star Paint & Decorating team can help make the most of Roman shades’ aesthetic appeal.

Using Roman Shades in Interior Design

The details of your Roman shades will help determine the best way to decorate around them. Their fold style, color, and material will lay the foundation for the room’s décor. So, paying close attention to them ensures you create a cohesive interior design that incorporates your Roman shades for windows well.

For Hunter Douglas Vignette® Modern Roman Shades, start with a subdued neutral color palette that includes soft shades of white, gray, beige, and muted earthy hues, like Benjamin Moore Gobi Desert 2110-50, a soft sandy shade with subtle pink and lilac undertones. Gobi Desert 2110-50 pairs well with the green-gray undertones found in the soft white shade of Benjamin Moore Icicle OC-60. Integrate earthy touches with large plants, sandstone, and terracotta pottery.

Roman shades with a sheer or light-filtering fabric are easy to incorporate into mid-century modern (MCM) design, which features many glass and metal accents and furniture made from teak or rosewood. Its bold colors, like Benjamin Moore Terra Cotta Tile 2090-30 or Benjamin Moore Dried Mustard 2158-10, are balanced by natural light and subtle texture. Creating this balance is where your Vignette® Modern Roman Shades come into play. Vignette® Modern Roman Shades have clean lines, and their flat or full folds bring a touch of texture to the window without going overboard and creating a messy appearance.

Decorating Rooms with Roman Shades

Sometimes, you want your window treatments to really pop against the background. In this case, Roman Shades in a bold color or lively pattern are an ideal choice. You can choose a flat fold style with a large print or a smaller pattern for the dramatic folds of hobbled styles. If you prefer your Roman shades for windows to take on a supporting cast role, consider a luxurious fabric in a solid color with contrasting decorative tape. Roman Shades in the front fold style have rods that give the shade structure and encourage even folds when you raise them.
