Refined and Elegant
Relaxed Roman Shades with an inside mount look lovely with ornate woodwork or decorative molding, as shown in both photos above. The curve of the shade contrasts with the straight lines of the trim and window bench, providing the texture of drapery without the space concerns for rods and stacks. Classic colors like blue, shades of white and off white, taupe, and gray give a rich look of understated elegance.

Soft and Cozy
Paired with modern furniture, the fold of Relaxed Romans can echo the curved lines of a sofa or chair. In a heavy material or made with a lining, shades can cover half of windows to provide privacy and control the amount of light entering the room. Soft and textured fabrics like Hemp or Raw Silk can lend a comfortable feel to the space, making the window treatments feel anything but stuffy.

Light and Bright
For a chic light filtering shade, try Relaxed Romans in a sheer like Linen, Basket Sheer, or Sheer Brilliance. Pure white shades paired with white trim is always a sharp look, and works well in small spaces or small windows by maximizing the natural light available. In Caitlin Wilson’s design, the relaxed style blends beautifully with florals, adding interest without overwhelming the patterned wallpaper.
