What are cordless Roman shades? How do they differ from traditional Roman shades?

Roman shades are curtains whose fabric folds into pleats when raised.

Cordless Roman shades, as the name suggests, are Roman shades without exposed cords. They use a built-in spring or tensioner, raising and lowering them by pulling on the base. This eliminates the worry of tangled cords, making them especially safer for families with children or pets.

Some call them "cordless Roman shades" while others call them "cordless fabric curtains," but they're essentially the same thing. To learn more, check out BerissaBlinds' Roman shade collection.

Don't think too much about the structure and principle

The headrail features a spring or tension lock mechanism, which the curtain fabric hangs from. A pull rod at the bottom allows you to pull the bottom, and the spring raises it. Release the lever to lock it in the desired position. The lack of cords eliminates the worry of children getting entangled in the extension and retraction mechanism. The cordless design fully complies with ANSI Best for Kids certification, making this a highly recommended option for families with children.

The advantages are dazzling

  • Safety first! No cords, no safety hazards for children or pets.
  • Elegant and simple, with no tangled cords, the sleek lines create a modern look.
  • Easy to operate: simply pull the bottom, saving you hassle.
  • A variety of fabrics, including cotton, linen, silk, and polyester, are available, allowing you to choose the color and folding style.
  • Light control options include blackout, semi-blackout, and light-transmitting, making it suitable for bedrooms and entertainment rooms.

What place is suitable?

It's suitable for bedrooms, living rooms, studies, children's rooms, kitchens, dining rooms, offices... practically anywhere.

It's especially recommended for children's rooms, as it's safe, cordless, and easy to operate. For the kitchen, choose moisture-resistant fabrics; avoid those that are easily damaged by oil.

Don't be stupid when buyingWhen measuring, the measurement method differs for interior and exterior installations, so don't make the mistake.

  • Choose the right fabric to block light in the bedroom, let light in the living room, and resist dirt in the kitchen.
  • Please choose between traditional pleats or soft pleats, depending on your style.
  • Colors and patterns: Lights are bright, while darks are more reserved. Avoid overly flashy options, as they can strain your eyes.
  • Safety certifications are essential for families with children.
  • Installation: Confirm whether the installation is interior, exterior, or ceiling-mounted.
If you have any questions about measurement and installation, we recommend that you take a look at the measurement and installation section of BerissaBlinds, which can solve most of your problems.

Installation and maintenance, don't be afraid of trouble

Installation isn't difficult, as the accessories are complete and the instructions are quite clear. I recommend using a level to avoid crooked installation.

As for maintenance, cleaning methods vary depending on the fabric. Dry cleaning or hand washing is acceptable, but avoid using harsh detergents to prevent warping.

Keep your curtains clean by dusting regularly to extend their lifespan.
