Roman Shades

More than a stylish shade

Soft, timeless and elegantly understated, but what truly sets Norman Roman Shades apart is what you don’t see, the experience. Thoughtfully engineered with a wide range of high-performance lift systems, they glide with such smooth, effortless precision that you won’t think twice, until you try anything else.

For those who prefer not to rely on phones, apps or remotes, AutoWand offers simple motorised wand control positioned neatly beside the shade. This affordable option is easy to use, USB-rechargeable and well-suited to homes with children or pets.

Cordless

A single pull on the discreet handle lifts the shade effortlessly. Pause it anywhere in the window with a quick tug or pull it fully down for complete light control and privacy. With no external cords, it offers a sleek, minimalist look while helping to reduce potential hazards for children and pets.

It’s all in the details

It all starts with your fold… Choose Soft Fold for layered dimension or Flat Fold for a sleek, modern finish. Select a lining that suits your space; translucent to gently filter light throughout the day or blackout for uninterrupted sleep and complete privacy. Personalise it further with edge banding for a tailored finish or ribbon banding for a decorative accent.

Textiles that transform

Create a calm, cohesive look with soft neutrals or introduce warmth and depth with rich earthy tones.

From subtle textures to eye-catching patterns, our curated palette is designed to complement modern, classic and coastal interiors with ease.
