If you love interiors that feel calm, airy, and refined, relaxed Roman shades are the perfect window treatment. Their gentle curves, natural drape, and minimalist design bring effortless sophistication to any room — the kind of understated beauty that defines Neutral Curtains.
Unlike traditional Roman shades with structured pleats, relaxed Roman shades feature a subtle curve at the bottom when raised. This soft arch gives them their signature “relaxed” look — ideal for anyone who wants window coverings that balance comfort with class.
What Are Relaxed Roman Shades?
Relaxed Roman Shades are made from soft fabrics that fold gracefully when lifted, creating a rounded, slightly bowed shape at the bottom. They don’t have rigid battens or rods, which allows the fabric to fall naturally.
This style is popular among interior designers for its simplicity and versatility. Whether you choose linen, cotton, or silk, relaxed Roman shades add texture and warmth without overpowering your décor.
At Neutral Curtains, our relaxed Roman shades are designed to complement the soft, neutral palettes we’re known for — creating serene, balanced spaces with timeless appeal.
Why Choose Relaxed Roman Shades
1. Timeless, Soft Aesthetic
The beauty of relaxed Roman shades lies in their gentle curves. They instantly soften a room’s architecture, especially in spaces with sharp lines or minimalist designs. The result is a window treatment that feels inviting yet polished.
2. Perfect for Neutral Interiors
Because relaxed Roman shades feature clean lines and organic draping, they’re ideal for neutral or monochromatic interiors. Shades in ivory, taupe, oatmeal, or linen gray complement natural materials like wood, stone, and rattan — all staples of the Neutral Curtains aesthetic.
3. Diffused Natural Light
When made with lightweight linen or cotton, relaxed Roman shades filter sunlight beautifully. They let in just enough glow to warm your space without harsh brightness — perfect for living rooms, kitchens, and home offices.
4. Custom Fit for Every Window
At Neutral Curtains, our made-to-measure relaxed Roman shades are crafted to fit your windows precisely. From wide bay windows to narrow nooks, each piece is tailored to perfection for a seamless, designer finish.
Best Fabrics for Relaxed Roman Shades
The fabric you choose determines both the look and functionality of your shades.
-
Linen: The top choice for natural texture and breathability. Linen drapes effortlessly, giving relaxed Roman shades their signature casual luxury.
-
Cotton: Crisp yet soft — perfect for a clean, structured-meets-relaxed look.
-
Silk: Adds a touch of glamour and subtle sheen, ideal for formal dining rooms or bedrooms.
-
Blends: Cotton-linen or polyester-linen blends are great for durability and easy care.
At Neutral Curtains, we recommend pure or blended linen fabrics for a soft, organic feel that aligns with your home’s natural tones.
Styling Ideas for Relaxed Roman Shades
Layer for Depth:
Combine relaxed Roman shades with linen curtains in matching tones for a layered, designer look. The contrast between soft curves and structured panels adds visual interest.
Go for Light and Airy:
Install unlined relaxed shades in living areas where you want gentle sunlight to filter in. The natural folds create beautiful shadows throughout the day.
Add a Lining for Privacy:
In bedrooms or bathrooms, choose lined or blackout options to maintain the same elegant look with added privacy and light control.
Keep It Neutral:
Stick to the palette that defines your brand — creamy whites, warm greige, stone, and beige — to keep the atmosphere cohesive and serene.
Where to Use Relaxed Roman Shades
Relaxed Roman shades work beautifully in:
-
Living Rooms: Create a cozy, welcoming atmosphere with soft linen shades.
-
Bedrooms: Use lined fabric for privacy and comfort while keeping a gentle drape.
-
Dining Rooms: Choose silk or linen for a luxurious, romantic glow.
