Roman
A fabric-forward tailored look with visible folds and a larger soft stack when open. Best when the treatment should contribute to the room.
Three ways to make fabric visible
Roman vs Shangri-La vs Zebra Shades in Rolling Hills
Roman, Shangri-La, and zebra shades all contribute more visual texture than a plain roller, but they do it differently. Roman shades build soft folds. Shangri-La uses floating fabric vanes. Zebra uses repeating horizontal bands.
Choose the room effect before the pattern sample
Ask whether the treatment should look tailored and soft, change daylight through vanes, or provide a crisp repeating band. Then compare open stack, night privacy, and how often the homeowner will adjust it.
Shangri-La
Soft horizontal vanes float between sheer layers for adjustable light and a gentler appearance than zebra bands.
Zebra
Alternating opaque and sheer bands create a more graphic look and frequent intermediate light positions while the shade stays lowered.
Before the written order
Document the parts that change the result.
- View the product from across the room.
- Compare the fully open stack.
- Check privacy in the closed position.
- Review fabric color in actual daylight.
- Choose stop points for grouped windows.
A formal sitting room with changing daylight
Roman shades give the strongest textile presence. Shangri-La can soften the room while adjusting light through vanes. Zebra provides the most graphic pattern. None is automatically better, so the daily light routine and existing furnishings should make the decision.
Current pricing context
The exact written price follows the actual products, sizes, systems, power, options, and installation conditions.
Current motorized starting prices are $649 installed for Roman, $649 for Shangri-La, and $549 for zebra. Manual starting prices are $549, $549, and $449. Exact size, fabric, systems, and options are confirmed after measurement.
Questions to settle before approval
Useful answers connect the room goal with the measured opening and complete installed responsibility.
Which has the clearest open view?
The exact stack and hardware matter. These three keep more visible fabric structure than a simple roller, so compare the actual open position.
Which gives the strongest room darkening?
That depends on fabric opacity, mount, and gaps. Compare a blackout roller or appropriate honeycomb when darkness is the main goal.
Can I use different styles in adjacent rooms?
Yes. Repeat a compatible color direction or control logic while choosing the product that fits each room.
