These blackout shades are very nice.  I ordered them in white. My window trim is white and I wanted clean lines and no valance because it is a small bedroom, these Roman shades make the room feel larger. The fabric has a little bit of texture.  The most frustrating part of installing the shades was trying to get the plastic ‘pull’ over the bottom of the fabric.  My window depth is not sufficient to hang these as an inside mount, so I modified my window frame to achieve the look that I wanted.
