Roman shades allow you to achieve a well-tailored, designer aesthetic in a room where your windows are better suited for a shade than a drapery. Our custom Roman shades can be lined with a light-filtering or blackout lining, allowing just the right amount of natural light in any room while maintaining your privacy. We offer the option of furnishing your own fabric or choosing from the extensive selection in our Kenilworth, NJ showroom — and our team serves homeowners throughout New Jersey and New York, from consultation through professional installation.
What Sets Our Roman Shades Apart
Supply Your Own Fabric
We calculate exact yardage and fabricate your Roman shade from your chosen material.
Flat & Relaxed Styles
Choose from flat, relaxed, hobbled, and many more pleat styles to match your aesthetic.
Light-Filtering & Blackout
Custom lining options give you precise control over privacy and natural light.
Natural Woven Collections

Many natural woven patterns available in extra-wide widths for large windows and doors.
Motorization Ready

Pleat Styles & Fabrication
Beyond choosing your fabric, selecting a pleat style is the most important decision in custom Roman shade design. Flat Roman shades are a fan favorite for their simplicity, featuring clean, crisp lines. Tied in popularity is the Relaxed Roman shade — sometimes referred to as the Swooped Roman — offering a more casual yet swoon-worthy designer look. The quality of construction of our Roman shades is unsurpassed; from each tuck and pleat, attention to detail can be seen in even the tiniest touches. If you choose to supply your own fabric, we are happy to calculate and provide the exact yardage requirements for your windows.
Natural Woven Grass Shades
Love the look of a Roman but want a more organic feel? A woven grass shade is for you. CMI offers the most diverse selection of natural woven shades in the region. Within our collections you can choose from the latest styles, weaves, colors, and options. Many patterns are available up to 144 inches wide, and custom woven-to-size options are available too. Other shade styles available in grass weave fabrics include top-down/bottom-up, woven wood draperies, grass weave panel tracks, and grass weave roller shades.
Premium Natural Material Brands
CMI carefully selects premium manufacturers that source rapidly renewable natural materials and thoroughly inspect each product for quality, character, and design. We proudly offer exclusive lines such as Hartmann & Forbes, which sustainably sources an expansive range of organic, modern weaves that are handloomed and woven-to-size using truly artisanal techniques. We also offer natural window treatments from Horizons, ProDesigns, Manh Truc, Designer Natural Shades, and Hunter Douglas, among others.
Soluna, Lafayette & Hunter Douglas Collections
CMI's Roman shade collection draws from a carefully curated group of manufacturers known for quality construction and design innovation. Soluna shades offer a refined range of fabric Roman shades with clean, architectural lines — popular among interior designers for their consistent quality and reliable lead times. Lafayette Interior Fashions' Genesis collection provides an accessible range of Roman and roller shades in hundreds of fabrics, ideal for whole-home projects. Hunter Douglas Roman shades and natural woven collections are among the most recognized in the industry, offering innovative features such as top-down/bottom-up operation and motorization-ready hardware. CMI's design team will help you navigate these collections and identify the right product for each room's light conditions, privacy needs, and aesthetic.
Motorized Roman Shades
All of CMI's Roman shade styles — flat, relaxed, hobbled, and natural woven — are available with motorization from Lutron, Somfy, and QMotion. Motorized Roman shades are particularly popular for large windows, high ceilings, and bay windows where manual operation is difficult. Lutron's Sivoia QS motorized Roman shades offer the most precise fabric alignment in the industry, ensuring that every pleat falls in exactly the same position every time the shade is raised or lowered. Battery-operated QMotion motorization is also available for Roman shades in existing homes where wiring is impractical. CMI's trade program offers wholesale pricing on motorized Roman shades for interior designers and architects. Contact CMI to discuss your project requirements.
