Plain fold Roman shade guide
Why choose a plain fold Roman shade?
A plain fold Roman shade gathers into soft, rounded folds when raised and hangs nearly flat when lowered, with subtle horizontal lines where the folds form. It is the most versatile Roman style and suits solid fabrics in any room. Most of our fabric Roman shades offer Plain Fold, including their top-down bottom-up versions; Alderwick blackout and Airlie sheers come in other styles.

What is a plain fold Roman shade?
A Roman shade that gathers into soft, rounded folds when raised and hangs nearly flat when lowered, with subtle horizontal lines where the folds form.
Plain fold or flat fold: which should I choose?
Plain fold has softer, rounded folds and subtle lines when lowered. Flat fold lies completely smooth and stacks more crisply. Choose plain fold for a classic, relaxed look and flat fold for a tailored one.
Can plain fold Roman shades be blackout?
Yes. Choose a blackout lining on the product page; it blocks light through the fabric. For the darkest room, use an outside mount that overlaps the frame.
How do I measure for a plain fold Roman shade?
For an inside mount, enter the exact narrowest width to the nearest 1/8 inch and our factory deducts 3/8 inch from the headrail. You need at least 2 inches of flat frame depth, or 2 1/2 inches for motorized.
