When you settle on what you want, the discounts are huge and seem to vary widely among online sellers on a daily basis. There are a ton of sellers and lots of comments about various ones if you search this forum. Once you order samples, you will get tons of discount offers. I just googled fabric roman shades and came up with this site that does a nice job with showing pictures of each of the shades installed on windows, which is very helpful. They look to have a wide selection of styles and prices to choose from. http://www.blindster.com/roman-shades/ Fabric roman shades also offer flat or hobbled styles. Woven woods are always (?) flat I think. Generally fabric will be more expensive than woven woods, but again, prices vary greatly. The higher prices within a line are usually better color/fabric choices. http://www.blindster.com/bamboo-shades/ I think that bamboo shades in a french country setting should probably be plainer and not so textured...i..e just cover the window... don't call out so much attention, like this: But that is not typical with woven woods. Most folk get them because of the texture and casual nature. Too plain may look boring. Will you have drapery panels on the sides too? That would be a way to add more style to a plain shades. Maybe in the office that will not matter so much, but when you get downstairs you probably want more styled. I don't see this as French anything. Of course, there's a lot in between. Just making a point. For myself I found a tone-on-tone offwhite that I am going with for my guestroom. That room I don't really want a full-on wood look, but still like the idea of the woven woods. Another thing to consider with woven woods or any type of shade is cord options. Cordless is great if you have access in front of the window to reach the top well (especially if you lower and raise them regularly). Continuous cord loop is a bit more convenient than straight cord. The bottom of it attaches to the side of the frame and is used like a pulley. Good for kids and pets... no loose cords. Another important feature is top-down bottom-up, but that's usually done for privacy purposes. It also precludes cordless on woven woods (but not on fabric shades). As you can see, I'm deep in the weeds on this subject. I am in the process of figuring out the same issues as you for my two sets of triple windows in the living space. The choices are overwhelming and you have to see lots of samples in person. I've got my choices narrowed to about 5, but I'm sure there are another 20 that would probably be just as good. When I get it down to 2, I intend to go to several websites with a spreadsheet and compare best prices. That's one reason to stick to Levolor or Bali. Everyone carries them.

I have had mine from Country Curtains in our lakehouse MBR and they've held up beautifully for 8 yrs. I just snapped these pics and the full sun happens to be shining directly on the window. I've not altered the photo so you can see that it filters, but doesn't completely block, the light. At nighttime with lights on in the room you can't see in from outside. Mine are the Natural shade. Completely rolled up: Showing direct hit of sunlight through 1/2 shade: With shade drawn (Note: sliders on side of room are open letting light in)

Idk if texture would be welcome at the windows, but these have 5 colors, and high ratings. For bedroom, you could buy blackout curtains to go over them. https://www.jcpenney.com/p/jcpenney-home-bamboo-woven-wood-roman-shade/1d6e1c9?pTmplType=regular&catId=SearchResults&searchTerm=bamboo+roman+shades&productGridView=medium&badge=onlyatjcp

Thank you Gordon’s Window, I like the fabric it looks like woven grass. Would it be odd to mount the shades over the slider as an outside mount and would a valance be used? What is the clearance needed when rolled up? Thank you for your help.
