Faux/ Fake Relaxed Roman Shade Valance

European relaxed roman shades are loved for blending the flowy aesthetic of drapery with the tailored framework of blinds. Their beautifully curved folds transform even the plainest of fabrics into a work of textural art. But what if your window only needs a cosmetic facelift, without full coverage or functionality? Cue our faux relaxed roman shade valances.

They are look-alikes of European relaxed roman shades - offering the same luxurious appeal but without the functionality of folding up or down. Since they are non-operational, they have a simple, static design with fewer moving parts, which contributes to their longevity and cost-effectiveness.

Our relaxed faux roman shades are stitched with a 2.5 inch rod pocket, so they can be mounted inside a window frame with a tension spring rod (ideally one inch diameter) or outside window frames on a decorative pole. Furthermore, they come fully lined with high-quality, white privacy lining.

You can choose from our vast collection of over 2000 premium fabrics, and further accessorise the faux roman shades with any of our 200+ trims and tassels.

HomeSewn Wisdom: Faux relaxed roman shades don't fold up and stack. So when determining their length, consider how much of the window you want to cover, and how much natural light you want to allow through. We recommend a minimum length/ drop of 10 inches for the valance to drape gracefully.

*Hardware NOT included.

For detailed information, we recommend visiting our Shipping & Delivery page, though a summary of our processing timelines is below for quick reference.

Please note that due to the bespoke nature of our products, we are unable to provide exact dispatch dates for our orders. However, once your order shipment is collected by FedEx/ DHL, you will receive a dispatch notification email with tracking details to follow its journey home.

• Curtains, Roman Shades, Valances, Bed & Dining Linens: Most window treatments and dining/ bed linen orders are targeted for dispatch within three weeks of date of order, though we are able to ship out many orders ahead of schedule. We use DHL or FedEx with a typical transit time of 3-7 days.
• Curtains/ Roman Shades with Trims: Some window dressings with trims *may* take up to six weeks as many of our trimmings are sourced from Turkey & London, thereby adding to our processing timeline in some instances.
• Swatches & Fabrics by Yard: Fabric samples and fabrics bought by yard are typically delivered within 7-10 days of order.
• Accessories: We do *not* sell small accessories such as pillow covers, dining placemats, or tie backs standalone. These are sold and dispatched only as part of larger window treatment orders. Please see above for applicable timelines accordingly.

For detailed guidance, we recommend visiting our Returns & Cancellations page: 

Of note:

• Since every product at Sewn is handstitched to bespoke specifications, our products are not eligible for returns, refunds, exchange or cancellations by default. 
• Image colors can vary based on individual screen settings, so we highly recommend ordering fabric swatches before placing an order for window treatments. We do not accept returns or refunds based on feedback on color variation between site images and actual fabrics, especially if samples are not ordered in advance. 
• Our roman shades include all necessary mounting hardware, but we rely on buyers to ensure compatibility of our hardware with their space. We do not accept returns based on hardware-compatibility related issues.
• For inside-mounted shades, we deduct 10mm from the width specified in the order to ensure a proper fit inside a window recess, as outlined in our Measurement Guide. Returns are not accepted on account of this industry-standard deduction on our part.
• On rare occasions, where we may have made a mistake, we do accept returns on a case-by-case basis, provided any discrepancy is communicated via email within five business days of delivery. 
• In case of a cancellation, we issue a 100% refund only if the cancellation request is received before any work has started. If production has started, only the remaining value of the order after deducting costs incurred up to that point can be refunded. Once an order is ready, cancellations for refunds are no longer possible.
