Roman shades

Stacked fabric panels

Roman shades are window coverings made of fabric that fold into horizontal pleats when raised.

Unlike blinds with slats, they draw up in soft, overlapping sections and lie flat when lowered: She installed Roman shades in the nursery for a softer look than venetian blinds.
