I think true Roman shades would be your best bet instead of faux Romans over roller shades. Besides, with a functioning Roman shade, you won’t need the roller.

Planning on remote control to raise and lower. Because of hot Florida sun these shades will go up in the am, back down for a few hrs in the afternoon and then up again until bedtime. Seems like too much action for real Roman shades or do you still recommend just the Roman shades?

what you're describing sounds like a valance. honestly, a real roman shade will look a million times better, especially when it's closed.

Can it b motorized? Ok if it goes up and down several times a day?

Is this what I need 🙁

IDK, but if it has a pull cord, then I imagine it can be motorized. if you plan to operate it many times a day, get really good quality. call a Hunter Douglas rep and ask them. that's a good brand.

do you already have existing motorized roller shades you want to use? curtain panels will trim it out nicely.

I have scheduled an appointment with an interior designer who carries HD which is my favorite. Thanks!
Btw way I meant to use happy emoji on previous post 😊
