relaxed vs standard Roman shades for kitchen?

13 years ago

just moved into new house and i hate the current fabric on the kitchen roman shades (first picture). i purchased the fabric shown in 2nd picture. should i do a standard Roman shade (like what's already there) or relaxed Roman shade, as in the 2 inspiration pix? The fabric I'm using has a fairly large scale print. Please advise!

I like your fabric choice very much & like the looks of the relaxed shade. I like the more straight bottomed shade on the last photo posted.

Um, aren't they the same just not pulled up as much?

Whichever you do set the roman blinds outside of the window space and place them high to avoid blocking light.

I think the relaxed roman shade will show off the new fabric pattern better than a structured roman shade. Nice choice of color and pattern.

this would be an example of the standard option (the above 2 are both "relaxed" i think)
