Our three most popular Roman Shade style are:
Pacifica, Balboa, and Laguna |
Pacifica:
This is a simple, flat style, with rear-facing stay pockets that add detail to the front of the shade. The stays add structure, giving this style a more tailored look than a style without stays. If elegant simplicity is what you want, the Pacifica is the ideal solution. It is uncomplicated and versatile. This shade can be made up in any fabric.

Balboa: "Hobbling" the face fabric onto the lining fabric at regular intervals creates overlapping folds that cascade from top to bottom. We use specially constructed tables to make this popular and unique style. Because the lining is essential to the hobbling, this shade is always lined.
The flexibility of the design lends itself to all kinds of fabric, from full-bodied, heavy fabrics to softer, more pliable ones. Full-bodied fabrics tend to project forward, while pliable fabrics tend to have a softer, wavier appearance. Most prints make up nicely in this style; however, if you are using a fabric with a large pattern, be aware that the pattern will be interrupted at each pleat.

Laguna:
Since there are no stay pockets or grommets in the construction of this shade, large prints are displayed to their best advantage with this style. Small tack stitches (made to attach the cord rings) are visible on the face of the shade, and add character. This tailored shade is an ideal style choice for fabrics with large prints or scenic patterns. The Laguna can be made up in any fabric. Tightly woven fabrics have a tailored appearance, whereas softer fabrics tend to have a relaxed look. Shade construction is slightly different if the shade is made up in a sheer fabric. When first installed, the shade may need to be pulled up fully and left in place for several days to establish pleat memory.

Drapery Panels
Our three most popular drapery styles are:
Unpleated ring top, Euro Pleat, and French Pleat |
|
|
|
Euro Pleat Panels:
This pleated panel style can be used with either a traverse rod or a decorative rod. The pleat is a triple-fold pinch pleat, tacked at the top (Euro pleat). Pleat spacing varies according to fullness, from approximately 3 ½" with 300% fullness to approximately 5" with 200% fullness. This style works well in all fabrics. We recommend 250% fullness for regular fabrics, and 300% for sheer fabrics. |
Unpleated Ring Top:
This simple style adds simplicity and softness to any décor. Rings can be hooked onto ring clips sewn to the panel, or rings can be hand-sewn to the panels. |
French Pleat Panels:
The pleat is a triple-fold pinch pleat, tacked at the bottom (classic French pleat). Pleat spacing varies according to fullness, from approximately 3 ½" with 300% fullness to approximately 5" with 200% fullness. This style works well in all fabrics. We recommend 250% fullness for regular fabrics, and 300% for sheer fabrics. |
