Vignette® Modern Roman Shades bring timeless roman shade elegance with modern engineering. Hunter Douglas's patented design creates beautifully consistent folds that never sag, wrinkle, or crush—maintaining tailored appearance day after day. No exposed rear cords means a clean look from both inside and out.
Traditional roman shades look beautiful when new, but often develop problems over time—folds become uneven, fabric sags, cords show at the back. Vignette® solves these issues with Hunter Douglas engineering. The patented fold system maintains consistent, uniform folds throughout the shade's lifetime.
Unlike traditional romans that use exposed cords on the back to create folds, Vignette® has no visible cords—just clean, finished fabric on both sides. This matters for street-facing windows where the shade back is visible from outside. Your home looks polished from every angle.
Vignette® offers multiple fold styles to match your design preferences. Flat folds create clean, modern lines—fabric lies flat between horizontal folds for tailored, contemporary appearance. Hobbled folds create cascading, overlapping fabric for traditional softness and visual depth.
Each fold style is available in different fold sizes, allowing you to customize proportions for your window. Larger folds suit large windows; smaller folds complement smaller openings. Our consultants help you select the fold style and size that best complements your interior.
Vignette® fabrics are selected specifically for how they drape in the patented fold system. From sheers that filter light softly to room-darkening materials for bedrooms, options span the full range of light control. Textures include elegant linens, subtle sheers, and sophisticated solids.
The fabric quality is evident when you touch Vignette® materials. These aren't thin, flimsy fabrics that look disappointing in person—they have weight, texture, and presence that photographs can't capture. Visit our showrooms to experience the fabric quality firsthand.
Traditional roman shades use cords running through the back of the fabric to create folds when raised. Over time, these cords can cause uneven folding, fabric sagging, and visible cord lines. Vignette®'s patented system eliminates these issues with consistent, cord-free construction.
Custom traditional romans from workrooms can be beautiful, but quality depends on workroom craftsmanship. Vignette® provides consistent, factory-engineered quality every time. For design consistency across multiple windows or homes, Vignette® delivers reliable results.
