Relaxed Roman shade guide
What makes a Roman shade relaxed?
A relaxed Roman shade has no stiffening rod at the bottom, so the hem dips into a soft curve in the middle and the folds look gathered rather than crisp. Choose Single Relaxed for one gentle curve, Multi-Relaxed for several curves across a wider window, or Soft Relaxed, offered on most fabrics, for the softest, most unstructured drape.

One soft curve centered at the hem. A classic choice for standard-width windows.
Multi-Relaxed
Several curves side by side along the hem, which keeps the look balanced on wider windows.

An unstructured, flowing drape for the most casual look. Offered on most fabrics.

What is a relaxed Roman shade?
A Roman shade without a stiffening rod at the bottom, so the hem falls into a soft curve and the folds look gathered. It feels more casual than a flat or plain fold.
Single, multi or soft relaxed: which should I choose?
Single Relaxed suits most standard windows. Multi-Relaxed repeats the curve along the hem, so it stays balanced on wide windows. Soft Relaxed has the loosest drape and is offered on most fabrics; each product page lists its relaxed styles.
Can a relaxed Roman shade be blackout?
Yes. Choose a blackout lining on the product page. The curved hem sits slightly higher in the middle, so an outside mount that overlaps the frame gives the darkest result.
How do I measure for a relaxed Roman shade?
The same way as any 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.
