Roman Empire

The more I love my roman shade in my bathroom, the more I keep loving roman shades in general. There are so many different ways to use a roman shade, and so many ways to style and shape them. There is something so easy about shades, simple pull of a string and you can open and close out the sun. Not only are they beautiful, but they are a functional and economical alternatives to drapes.

I rounded up some gorgeous romans that will surely have you rethinking a large budget on curtains and heading towards the shade. Maybe with that extra dinero in your pocket you can buy some pretty roman made shoes instead 🙂
