Aug 17, 2026 | Design, Inspiration

Here’s a quick guide to understand when and where to use the four most common types of window coverings: Roman shades, pull-down shades (like rollers and honeycomb), panels, and cafe curtains.

Cafe Curtains

Ideal for:

• Small windows in a bathroom or dining nook
• Adding privacy without blocking a beautiful view
• Adds charm and character

Drapery Panels

Perfect for:

• Large windows and sliding doors
• Small windows that you want to make look larger
• A grand elegant look
• Accentuate ceiling height

Roller and Honeycomb Shades

Great for:

• A window with drapery that needs additional privacy
• Light filtering (blackout)
• A simple modern look
• Hard to reach windows (use motorized)

Roman Shades

Ideal for:

• Small windows
• Casual spaces like kitchen and baths
• A window that is above a piece of furniture, baseboard or radiator heating
