Roman Shade Style Guide

Roman shades pair timeless elegance with everyday ease.
At Cozyology, we offer five distinct styles—each with its own folds, function, and charm—so you can find the perfect fit for your home.

Plain Style

Plain Style

Slats sewn inside for a smooth, clean finish.

  • Design: Slats are sewn inside the fabric for a flat, streamlined look.
  • Liner options: Available unlined or with an added liner.
  • Visibility: With a liner, slats are barely visible; without a liner, slats are more noticeable but still subtle.
  • System: Works with Cordless, Code Lift, No-Drill, and Motorized systems.

Front Slat Style

Front Slat Style

Creates structured, segmented folds with a dimensional look.

  • Design: Slats are positioned on the front of the fabric for added depth.
  • Liner options: Available with or without a liner — front slats remain clearly visible either way.
  • Back view: Seams are visible if unlined, but concealed when lined.
  • Compatibility: Works with Cordless, Code Lift, and No-Drill systems.

Relaxed Style

Relaxed Style

Creates a soft, casual drape with a graceful curve — perfect for an effortless, elegant look.

  • Design: No slats are used; the fabric naturally forms a gentle arch at the center when raised.
  • Liner Requirement: Must be made with a liner for proper shape and drape.
  • Compatibility: Works with Cordless, Code Lift, and No-Drill systems.

Pleated Style

Pleated Style

Features evenly spaced horizontal pleats for a structured, elegant look that stacks beautifully when raised.

  • Design: No visible slats — the fabric gathers softly for a polished, classic finish.
  • Liner Requirement: Must be made with a liner to maintain shape and fullness.
  • Compatibility: Works with Cordless, Code Lift, and No-Drill systems.

Top Down Bottom Up

Top Down Bottom Up

Offers flexible light control — the shade can be lowered from the top or raised from the bottom while maintaining a smooth, flat front.

  • Design: The front remains flat; operation creates a visible gap between the upper and lower fabric sections.
  • Liner Options: Available with or without a liner — seams remain visible either way due to the dual-movement structure.
  • Compatibility: Works with Cordless, Code Lift, and No-Drill systems.
