Seamless vs. Classic Roman Shades: What’s the Difference?
Curious to know what sets seamless Roman shades apart from the classic variety? Blinds Brothers is here to break down the difference:
- Design – Classic Roman shades feature horizontal pleats which remain stacked neatly atop one another, regardless of what position the shades are in. Seamless Roman shades, on the other hand, are defined by a flat, pleatless face. As the window covering is raised, folds appear at the bottom. They smooth out when the shade is lowered, as shown in the photo above.
- Construction – The traditional Roman style is made from different segments to achieve the pleated, carefully tailored look. Meanwhile, seamless shades are constructed from one large piece of fabric. This means the shades have no seams on the face, as the name implies.
- Best Uses – Courtesy of their more understated design, seamless shades coordinate well with more boldly patterned fabrics. Simpler, more uniform designs are a better choice for classic Roman shades, since the pattern can get interrupted by the pleats.
With or without pleat detailing, Roman shades are sure to inject personality & sophistication into any contemporary design scheme. They also offer excellent light control, easy maintenance and many other perks!
