Hunter Douglas
Soft fabric folds, with rolling and stacking styles to compare.
Chosen for your windows
Howard's Draperies helps you choose Roman shades in Boulder, CO, with fabrics and folds you can compare in your own room. Roman shades add the softness of drapery in a treatment that fits close to the window.
Vignette® Modern Roman Shades offer rolling and stacking styles. A rolling shade retracts into its headrail; a stacking shade gathers in visible folds. We’ll help you compare those styles with Alustra® Woven Textures® and Carole Fabrics Roman shades, then choose the light control and operation that suit your windows.

Roman shades bring fabric softness to the window without requiring full drapery panels. The first decision is how you want the shade to look when raised. A rolling style clears more of the glass, while a stacking style keeps visible folds above the opening.
In a rolling style, the fabric draws into the headrail when raised. This can suit a room where you want more of the glass clear. The fold, fabric, mounting position, and control system affect the final appearance.
A stacking style gathers the fabric into soft folds when raised. Allow room for that stack above the glass and consider how its depth and shape will look beside the trim and furnishings.
Light-filtering fabrics soften daylight. Selected room-darkening fabrics block more light, but gaps around the edges and mounting hardware can still let light into the room. We’ll compare fabric samples and mounting options with the darkness level you want.
Some Vignette configurations include a separate room-darkening panel behind the front shade. This dual-opacity option depends on the style, fabric, size, and operating system. We’ll check availability for your windows.
Fabric weight, texture, color, fold shape, and window dimensions all influence the final look. Soft textiles can show natural variation, including subtle wrinkles or fold differences. Reviewing samples at the window helps you see how the fabric responds to the room's light and surrounding finishes.
Inside and outside mounts create different relationships with trim, glass, and edge light. Accurate measurements also help confirm clearance for handles, cranks, and nearby hardware.
Operating choices depend on the exact Roman shade style and configuration. Selected Vignette® Modern Roman Shades configurations may support PowerView® Automation, while other configurations use a compatible manual system. Power, charging access, controls, and mounting conditions should be confirmed before selection.
Use these questions to narrow the options before final measurement.
Compare a rolling style if you want more of the glass clear when the shade is raised. Choose a stacking style if you prefer to keep soft folds visible above the window.
Compare light-filtering and available room-darkening fabrics beside the window. A bedroom may need more light blocking than a living room or dining area.
Consider reach, adjustment frequency, charging access, and control preferences. Operation must be confirmed for the selected style rather than assumed across the category.
A rolling style draws the shade into the headrail for a clearer raised view. A stacking style gathers the fabric into visible folds. Availability and operation depend on the selected product and configuration.
Yes, selected Roman shade fabrics and configurations can reduce bedroom light. The final result also depends on the mount and gaps around the edges. Room-darkening fabric alone does not make the whole installation blackout.
Selected Vignette® Modern Roman Shades configurations may support PowerView® Automation. Product style, fabric, size, power, and operating system must be confirmed for the exact shade.
The choice depends on mounting depth, trim, handles, the desired coverage, and edge light expectations. An in-home measurement helps confirm the better fit for each opening.
