Our Soft Fold Roman Shades have a distinct hobbled folding style which makes them stand out in any room. If you love the look of the hand-sewn fabric, you’ll be glad to know that they retain this look when raised or lowered. A hidden lift cord also gives these shades a boost by reducing visual distractions and giving them a clean, uniform look.
STEP 1: Measure the inside width at 3 locations - the top, middle and bottom. Record the smallest of the 3 measurements. This is your ordering width. We will make the necessary deductions (approx. 1/4").
STEP 2: Measure the height at 3 locations - the left side, middle and right side. Record the largest of the 3 measurements. This is your ordering height.
STEP 1: Measure the width of the area you wish to cover. If space allows we recommend adding 3-4" (1 1/2"-2" each side) to this measurement to help eliminate light seepage. This is your ordering width and will be the overall width measurement of the shade.
STEP 2: Measure the height of the area you wish to cover. This is your ordering height. Be sure to take into account the flat mounting surface area when measuring the area you want to cover with your shade. The factory will make your shade (including the headrail) to the width and height ordered. Generally 3" - 4" added to the height of your opening (including molding or framework you wish to cover) will allow you room to mount above the window frame.
