Our Roman Shade Collections: Vignette®, Woven Textures®, Provenance® & Graber
Four collections, one standard: custom-built to your window's exact measurements and installed by our own team. Tap any photo to browse each collection.
Vignette® Modern Roman Shades
The Roman shade, perfected: Vignette® keeps its folds consistent for life with no exposed rear cords or grommets, in rolling or stacking styles and flat or contoured folds. Duolite™ pairs light-filtering and room-darkening fabrics in one shade, and PowerView® automation runs it all on schedule.
- Consistent folds — no exposed cords or grommets
- Rolling or stacking; flat or contoured folds
- Duolite™ day/night and PowerView® options
Alustra® Woven Textures®
The design-studio collection: exclusive woven fabrics — linen-like weaves, organic slubs, artisan textures — that read as custom drapery-grade textiles at the window. For rooms where the fabric itself is the statement.
- Exclusive Alustra® design-studio fabrics
- Artisan weaves and organic textures
- PowerView® motorization available
Provenance® Woven Wood Shades
Nature at the window: bamboo, reeds, and grasses woven into shades with warmth no printed fabric can fake. Add a room-darkening liner for bedrooms, choose sheer weaves for filtered light, or run the vertical drapery configuration across a slider.
- Natural bamboo, reeds & grasses
- Room-darkening and privacy liners available
- Vertical drapery option for sliding doors
Graber Classic Roman Shades
The tailored classic at whole-home value: crisp fabric folds in wide pattern and color ranges, cordless and motorized lifts, and the price that makes Romans in every bedroom realistic rather than aspirational.
- Classic flat and teardrop fold styles
- Wide fabric, pattern & color ranges
- Cordless and motorized lift options

Where Roman Shades Belong
Blinds control light. Romans decorate while they do it — the shade you choose when the window should feel dressed, not just covered.
Living & Dining Rooms
The drapery look without the drapery bulk — tailored folds that read as design intent, especially over furniture-height windows.
Bedrooms
Vignette® Duolite™ runs sheer by day and room-darkening by night on one headrail — softness that still lets you sleep in.
Texture-First Rooms
Provenance® bamboo and Alustra® weaves add the organic layer designers reach for — warmth that flat fabrics and slats can't supply.
Layering With Drapes
Romans are the classic under-layer: the shade does the work, the side panels do the framing. We coordinate fabrics across both.
Kitchens & Nooks
A short stack over the sink window adds softness where blinds feel clinical — and modern fabrics handle the occasional splash.
Sliding Doors
Provenance® vertical drapery configurations sweep woven texture across big glass — the soft answer to the slider problem.
When to choose something else: if the priority is insulation, choose honeycomb — see our cellular shades — and for crisp minimalism at lower cost, roller shades. Romans win when the room's warmth is the brief. We'll bring all three to compare.
Roman Shades for Northern Virginia Homes
Romans are the designer's pick across this region's most character-rich rooms: Old Town Alexandria parlors, Vienna and McLean formal living rooms, and the breakfast nooks of Arlington bungalows. Woven woods in particular have surged — the organic-texture look pairs naturally with the white-oak floors and warm neutrals dominating DMV renovations right now.
Every project starts with a free in-home consultation: fabric books from all four collections in your home — because fabric is a color-in-your-light decision — precise measuring, and an exact quote. Or visit our showrooms in Vienna, Herndon, and Alexandria to touch the weaves first.
Roman Shades FAQ
Are Roman shades still in style?
More than ever — but the style moved. Heavy, fussy Romans gave way to clean flat folds, natural woven woods, and linen-look weaves; Vignette® and Provenance® are precisely that modern iteration. Woven woods in particular are one of the strongest window treatment trends of the decade.
Fabric Roman or woven wood — which should I choose?
Fabric (Vignette®, Alustra®, Graber) for tailored softness, saturated color, and Duolite™ light control; woven wood (Provenance®) for organic texture and a natural, layered look. Rule of thumb from our installs: fabric where the room is formal, woven where it's relaxed — and both take room-darkening liners.
Can Roman shades make a room dark enough to sleep?
Yes — two ways. Vignette® Duolite™ builds a room-darkening layer into the shade itself, switchable from sheer; and Provenance® woven woods take a dedicated room-darkening liner behind the weave. We spec bedroom Romans with one or the other by default.
How much do custom Roman shades cost?
It depends on fabric grade, size, and options — woven textures and Duolite™ run above classic flat Romans, and Graber delivers the tailored look at the friendliest price. We quote exactly, in your home, for free, with promotions up to 40% off and 18-month 0% APR financing available.
