Faux Roman shades are a great alternative to Roman shades. They give you a designer look and a custom fit at a fraction of the cost of functional Roman shades.

Besides the clean and simple lines, faux shades are also popular because of the modern fabric choices they offer.

Here are a few popular colors and design trends our customers choose when shopping our faux shades.

 

French Grey

French grey is a gray color with subtle greenish-yellow tint, almost bordering on greige. It’s a timeless color, so many customers choose it because they know this neutral color will withstand any crazy design fad in the future.

Snowy

Snowy is a light blue/green. This too is another neutral color. It works great against crisp white walls and design pieces and is popular in homes that have a subtle coastal flair.

Mineral Blue

Mineral blue is similar to snowy, but it pulls more towards the blue color spectrum and has no green tint in it. This one is very popular in kitchens and our customers love this color next to white kitchen cabinets.

Vintage Indigo

Vintage indigo is a navy color. It’s for those who want a more dramatic beach house design. It’s also common in modern, more masculine rooms, and we commonly see customers use this color in boys’ rooms and home offices alike.

French Blue

French blue is an interesting color. Some design “authorities” define French blue as a deep teal, others define it as a light powder blue. Our most popular French Blue fabric is the Finders Keepers, which is a light ivory slub cotton base with a large teal flower pattern.
