Roman shades seem to be a semi-modern look that is currently in style so I decided to give one a try over my existing wood blinds.

Pros:
- Very easy to un-box and install in the window
- Gives a clean look that fills the entire window so you don't have any parts sticking out of the window seal
- The fit is good so the shade provides a good amount of darkening but not completely blackout
- Easy to "roll" up and down

Cons:
- I was disappointed with the look of the material when up-close. It kind of looks like a hotel shower curtain rather than a really clean modern look
- The shades fold up instead of roll so they don't go up super far and you will have horizontal creases when down

Overall if it's the look you are going for then you won't be disappointed because the build quality and ease of installation are good.
