Most day night roman shades on the market sell the dual-layer concept as automatic blackout. The marketing photo shows a sheer day mode beside a fully dark night mode, and the implication is that flipping the switch turns the room into a cinema. Open the catalog page on twopagescurtains.com for the Ron Linen Cotton Herringbone Day Night Roman Shade Cordless, and the spec sheet says the opposite in plain text: you need to opt for a blackout liner to achieve total blackout effect for the night layer.
That single line is the honest part, and it reframes the whole purchase decision. The $10 premium over the single-layer Ron Cordless sibling buys you the flexibility of alternating translucent and opaque in one window, not a baseline blackout upgrade. For the broader roman shade landscape at Two Pages, including the single-layer Ron sibling and the cousin Ian Valanced day night cord lift config, our complete roman shades hub maps the full P06 range.

Quick Verdict
Cutting straight to it: the Ron Day Night Cordless lands at 4.2 out of 5. The dual-layer flex is the real story, the cordless safety default is the right call for households with kids, and the 45/55 cotton-linen herringbone night layer has the natural fiber pedigree that polyester-only day night romans cannot match.
Quick Verdict (Ron Day Night · Cordless · 6 colors · from $109.99)
4.2 / 5
A dual-layer cordless roman shade pairing a polyester sheer day layer with the 45/55 cotton-linen Ron herringbone night layer, at a $10 premium over the single-layer Ron cordless sibling. Wins on dual-layer flexibility, cordless child-safe default and the herringbone texture pedigree. Loses points because the night layer is not blackout without the optional liner, which is the spec most day night shoppers expect by default.

The points come off on two honest caveats. The night layer is not blackout by default, which is the spec most day night shoppers expect baseline. And the size range tops at 72 inches wide, narrower than the single-layer Ron Cordless which reaches 96 inches, so wide picture windows need a different solution or a multi-panel layout.
Pricing by Configuration
The base price of from $109.99 per panel covers the Ron Day Night Cordless master config, and from there the configurator scales by width, drop, mount type, colorway and the optional blackout liner add-on. The $10 premium over the single-layer Ron Cordless (which lands at from $99.99) buys the polyester sheer day layer and the dual-layer mechanism. It does not buy a blackout upgrade, which is the part worth flagging up front because the marketing copy on day night shades generally implies otherwise.
Ron Linen Cotton Herringbone Roman Shade Cordless Review (Single Layer)
The single-layer Ron cordless sibling drops the day sheer and the dual-layer premium, landing at from $99.99/panel. Useful read for owners who want the Ron herringbone fabric without the day-night flex.
Concrete configurator outputs make the spread easier to picture. The entry config at 24″ W × 36″ L lands around $132 without the blackout liner. A standard 36″ W × 54″ L bedroom window runs around $168, and adding the blackout liner bumps that to roughly $214. The top config at 60″ W × 66″ L outside mount hits about $256 without the liner, which is the realistic ceiling on this chassis for a wide living room window.

🪟 Day & Night Layer Behavior
Two stacked layers, one cordless lift, four real light states
☀️ Day mode
Sheer layer down, herringbone layer up
100% polyester sheer diffuses light, privacy preserved without darkness. The herringbone stacks at the top of the headrail. Best for living rooms midday.
🌤️ Filtered mode
Both layers half-deployed
Bottom-up partial coverage on the herringbone, sheer fully down. Filters glare in the lower window section while keeping the top open for sky view. Useful for kitchens and offices.
🌙 Night mode (no liner)
Herringbone fully down, sheer behind
Opaque herringbone blocks the view but lets a soft glow through the 205 gsm body. Not blackout. Good for media rooms, not for true sleep darkness.
⚫ Night mode (+ blackout liner)
Optional liner add-on
Add the catalog blackout liner during checkout to convert the night layer to true dark. This is the configuration that delivers actual blackout for primary bedrooms.
Lock the Ron Day Night config while the JULY window is open
The configurator returns the final panel price once width, drop, mount type, colorway and blackout liner add-on are selected. Ron Day Night ships in 10 to 12 business days, made to order across all 6 colorways.
Code JULY · Made to order (final sale)
One more thing on price worth knowing before you click through. Ron Day Night is made to order, final sale once produced, and code JULY applies 20% off sitewide at checkout. Free shipping unlocks at $300 cart value, so a single mid-tier Ron Day Night panel usually does not clear that threshold on its own. Pairing two panels for a primary bedroom or adding a swatch booklet is how most carts get there.
Use Case Fit: 4 Profiles, 4 Picks
The dual-layer flex earns its keep in living rooms more than anywhere else. Toast 1016-3 or Biscuit 1016-2 in day mode all afternoon gives you the diffused light that warm rooms benefit from, and rolling down the herringbone night layer in the evening flips the window from public to private without making the room dark. This is the living room use case where the $10 premium over single-layer Ron earns its keep.
For primary bedrooms, the math is different. Onyx 1016-6 paired with the optional blackout liner is the configuration that actually delivers true dark, so this is the spec to lock if sleep darkness matters. For coastal or minimalist rooms where the warm Ron tones do not fit, Mist 1016-4 is the only cool-toned pick and pairs with coastal whites or Scandinavian blond wood. For kid bedrooms, Ice or Biscuit plus the blackout liner keeps the room visually open during play and dark for naps, with the cordless lift handling the safety side.

Specs Deep Dive
The Ron Day Night Cordless chassis carries a single mechanical configuration across all 6 colorways and any size in the supported range. The night layer is the 45% cotton / 55% linen Ron herringbone at 205 gsm Lightweight, woven with a visible herringbone texture that reads as architectural pattern rather than smooth fabric. The day layer is a 100% polyester sheer that diffuses light without blocking it. The cordless lift aligns with CPSC window covering safety guidance, which has been the regulatory push behind cordless defaults across the industry. For owners weighing a cord lift version instead, the Ron herringbone cord lift review covers the same fabric on a manual cord system.
On mount paths, the chassis supports both inside and outside mount on the same SKU. Inside mount sits the aluminium alloy headrail flush inside the window frame for the cleanest architectural read, with the trade-off of some side light leak at the edges (which matters more for night mode than for day mode). Outside mount overlaps the frame by 2 to 4 inches per side, which controls side light better and is the recommended path if you have committed to the blackout liner add-on and want maximum dark.
📐 Mount Options on Ron Day Night
Inside mount versus outside mount: pick by frame depth and side-light tolerance
Inside Mount
Sits flush inside the window opening
The aluminium alloy headrail at 1 5/8 inch height seats inside the window frame. Cleanest architectural read, but expect some side light leak at the edges, which matters less in day mode but matters more when running the night layer for sleep.
Outside Mount
Mounts above the frame, add 2-4″ per side
Overlap the frame by 2 to 4 inches per side for better side-light control, which the dual-layer config benefits from when running night mode with the optional blackout liner. Adds 2 to 3 inches of visual height above the window.
Lead time is 10 to 12 business days on the standard Two Pages made-to-order tier. The shade is final sale once produced, which is the standard policy across the brand for any made-to-order roman shade. Measure twice before placing the order, and lock the blackout liner decision before checkout because adding it post-production is not an option.
Day & Night Layer Behavior
The dual-layer flex has four practical light states, not the two implied by the “day night” name. Day mode is the sheer down with the herringbone fully raised, which gives you the diffused light that polyester sheers handle well, with privacy preserved against passersby but no real darkness. Filtered mode is both layers half-deployed, sheer fully down and herringbone partially up from the bottom, which gives you a partial coverage on the lower window while keeping the top open for sky view. This is the mode kitchens and home offices benefit from most.
Night mode without the blackout liner drops the herringbone fully down with the sheer behind it. The 205 gsm cotton-linen body blocks the view entirely and stops direct light, but a soft glow still passes through the fabric body itself. This is fine for media rooms where you want to dim the screen reflection but not blot out all light, and it is fine for living rooms where evening privacy is the goal. It is not fine for a primary bedroom that needs sleep-grade darkness, which is the honest reframe most day night listings skip. Night mode with the blackout liner add-on is the configuration that delivers actual blackout. The liner sits behind the herringbone in the same chassis, adds roughly $45 per panel, and converts the night layer to true dark.
Ian Linen Valanced Day Night Roman Shade Cord Lift Review
The Ian Valanced day night cousin trades the cordless lift for a cord lift system and adds a top valance for trim-coverage rooms. Reference point for owners weighing Ron Day Night against the Ian Valanced silhouette.
The decision on whether to add the blackout liner is the most consequential one on this product. If your shortlist includes the Ron Day Night for a sleep room, the liner is not optional in practice, it is the difference between the product working for the use case and not. The configurator path walks you through the liner selection before checkout, and it adds a clear line item to the price so you see the actual cost before you commit.
🎨 The 6-Colorway Lineup
From Ice 1016-1 to Onyx 1016-6, every Ron Day Night colorway on the same chassis
Ice · 1016-1
The lightest pick, near-white with cool undertone. Pairs with bright walls and minimalist rooms.
Biscuit · 1016-2
Warm cream tone, the soft natural read. Fits living rooms and bedrooms with warm wood floors.
Toast · 1016-3
Sand mid tone, warm earth pedigree. The most versatile of the 6 across rooms and palettes.
Mist · 1016-4
Only cool-toned pick, soft blue-gray. Coastal, minimalist and Scandinavian-coded rooms.
Steel · 1016-5
Deep gray, herringbone weave most visible. Architectural read for modern rooms.
Onyx · 1016-6
Darkest pick, charcoal read. Best paired with blackout liner for primary bedrooms.
Drape & Finish: How the Herringbone Reads
The Ron night layer is woven in a herringbone texture pattern, which is the structural feature that distinguishes Ron from the smoother linen blends on the Two Pages roman shade lineup. The 45% cotton / 55% linen composition gives the body a natural fiber pedigree that pure polyester day night romans cannot match, and the 205 gsm Lightweight body keeps the drape soft rather than stiff. For fiber safety context across natural and blended textiles in finished goods, the OEKO-TEX Standard 100 fiber safety reference sets the global benchmark that buyers can use to compare across brands.
How the herringbone reads depends on the colorway you pick. On Ice and Biscuit, the pattern is subtle and reads as natural fiber texture rather than as graphic pattern, because the light tones absorb less of the weave shadow. On Steel and Onyx, the herringbone reads as crisp architectural pattern across the face, which is the look modern rooms benefit from when the curtain is meant to be part of the design language rather than a neutral background. Toast and Mist sit in between, with enough pattern visibility to add interest without dominating the room.
Pros & Cons
The pros and cons matrix tracks the dual-layer flex on one side and the blackout caveat on the other. Worth scanning before locking the configurator.
✅ Pros
- Dual-layer flexibility in one cordless chassis, alternate translucent and opaque in the same window
- 45/55 cotton-linen herringbone on the night layer, real natural fiber composition over a polyester sheer day layer
- Cordless child-safe default across all 6 colorways, aligns with CPSC corded window covering guidance
- 6 colorways from Ice to Onyx covering light, warm, cool, dark and architectural reads
- Optional blackout liner available at checkout, converts the night layer to true dark for sleep rooms
- Both inside and outside mount supported on the same SKU
⚠️ Cons
- Night layer is not blackout by default, requires the optional liner add-on for true dark, the spec most day night shoppers expect baseline
- $10 premium over single-layer Ron cordless A00102, the dual-layer flex is the upgrade, not the blackout
- Max width 72″, narrower than the single-layer Ron which goes to 96″, wide picture windows need a multi-panel solution
- Made to order, final sale once produced, no returns after production
- 205 gsm Lightweight body, lighter hand than the heavier 250+ gsm romans on the brand, the herringbone reads as airy not heavyweight
- No dedicated Ron swatch booklet, the 39 Collections Booklets are the closest catalog reference
The honest takeaway: if the blackout liner is in your configuration, the cons list shrinks considerably. If you skip it expecting the night layer to handle sleep on its own, the product underdelivers in a way the marketing copy never quite spells out.
What Buyers Actually Say
Owner feedback on the Two Pages day night roman shade collection trends positive on dual-layer flexibility and cordless safety, with Trustpilot 4.5/5 across 5,000+ owner reviews at the brand level. Verified Judge.me reviews on the Ron Day Night sibling collections call out the herringbone texture as the differentiator versus smoother day night romans, with multiple owners specifically noting that the natural fiber hand reads materially different in person than the catalog thumbnail suggests.
📏 Pro tip before configuring Ron Day Night
For inside mount, measure the inside window opening depth and confirm it clears the 1 5/8 inch headrail height plus a small clearance margin. Measure width at three points (top, middle, bottom) and use the narrowest measurement. The size range tops at 72 inches wide × 66 inches long, narrower than single-layer Ron, so wider sliding glass headers need a multi-panel approach. Decide on the optional blackout liner add-on before checkout: it converts the night layer from “filtered” to true dark, and it is the upgrade that turns this dual-layer shade into a primary bedroom solution. For media rooms or living rooms where total darkness is not required, skip the liner and save ~$45 per panel. Order the 39 Collections Fabric Booklets first to evaluate the Ron herringbone texture and the 6 colorway tone spread in real light before locking the configurator.
Recurring themes in verbatim reviews on adjacent Two Pages cordless roman shades: praise for the cordless operation being smooth on first pull (no break-in period), surprise at how visible the herringbone weave reads on the darker colorways, and consistent flags from buyers who expected blackout on day night and discovered the liner caveat only at checkout. The pattern reinforces the central honest reframe in this review: lock the blackout liner decision before you click order, not after the shade arrives.
Swatch Strategy Before You Commit
Color counts on dye lots, per the catalog note on the Ron product page, which means the difference between the catalog thumbnail and the actual fabric in your room light is non-trivial across the 6 colorways. The 39 Collections Fabric Booklets are the catalog reference that includes Ron Linen Cotton Herringbone 205 gsm among the 39 collections shipped in 47 booklets at the $189 tier. Worth ordering before locking the configurator on a made-to-order roman shade that is final sale.
🎁 Order the 39 Collections Booklets before locking in Ron Day Night
Two Pages does not currently expose a dedicated Ron Herringbone swatch booklet, so the 39 Collections Fabric Booklets are the catalog reference. They ship 47 books across 39 collections including Ron Linen Cotton Herringbone 205 gsm, which gives a tactile read on the herringbone weave and the 45/55 cotton-linen hand before the configurator locks the colorway and size.
FAQ
Is the Ron Day Night Roman Shade Cordless actually blackout?
Not by default. The night layer is the 45% cotton / 55% linen Ron herringbone at 205 gsm Lightweight, which is opaque enough to filter light and block view, but it lets a soft glow through the body. The catalog spec sheet says this in plain text: you need to opt for a blackout liner to achieve total blackout effect for the night layer. Add the optional blackout liner during checkout to convert the night mode to true dark. For media rooms or living rooms where total darkness is not required, skipping the liner is fine and saves around $45 per panel.
What is the difference between Ron Day Night Cordless and the single-layer Ron Cordless?
The single-layer Ron Cordless is the Ron herringbone night layer alone, at from $99.99 per panel, no day sheer, no dual-layer mechanism. The Day Night Cordless adds the 100% polyester sheer day layer stacked on top of the same herringbone, operated independently by the same cordless lift, at from $109.99 per panel. The $10 premium buys the dual-layer flex: alternating translucent and opaque in the same window. It does not buy a blackout upgrade. Single-layer Ron also reaches 96 inches wide, the Day Night maxes at 72 inches wide.
How do the 6 colorways compare for a primary bedroom?
For primary bedroom darkness, Onyx 1016-6 is the strongest pick: the charcoal read minimizes any residual light pass-through on the night layer body, and paired with the optional blackout liner add-on it delivers the truest dark of the 6. Steel 1016-5 is the second pick. For mixed-use bedrooms where the day mode flexibility matters more than total dark, Biscuit 1016-2 and Toast 1016-3 read warmer and pair better with wood floors. Ice 1016-1 is the lightest and lets the most ambient light through even on the night layer.
Is the Ron Day Night safe for kid bedrooms?
Yes on the lift mechanism. The cordless default aligns with CPSC corded window covering safety guidance, which has been pushing the industry toward cordless solutions for households with young children. The shade is operated by raising or lowering the bottom rail manually, no exposed cord. On the fabric side, the 45/55 cotton-linen herringbone is a natural fiber blend on the night layer, which fits the brief for kid rooms favoring natural fibers. For nap-time darkness, add the optional blackout liner. The fabric is spot clean only, no machine wash, so factor in care preferences for kid rooms with high stain risk.
Can I order swatches before committing to a Ron Day Night colorway?
Yes. Two Pages does not sell a dedicated Ron Herringbone swatch booklet, but the 39 Collections Fabric Booklets at $189 include Ron Linen Cotton Herringbone 205 gsm among the 39 collections, plus 38 other fabrics. They are the catalog reference for evaluating the herringbone weave and the 45/55 cotton-linen hand in real light before locking the configurator. Color counts on dye lots, per the catalog note, so swatch evaluation is genuinely useful here. Made-to-order roman shades are final sale once produced, which raises the stakes on getting the colorway right.
How long does the Ron Day Night Cordless take to ship?
Lead time is 10 to 12 business days on the standard Two Pages made-to-order tier, across all 6 colorways and any size in the W 18-72″ × L 24-66″ range, with or without the optional blackout liner add-on. Free shipping unlocks at $300 cart value, which corresponds roughly to two standard-size Ron Day Night panels at the mid tier. The shade is final sale once produced, so confirm measurements, colorway and blackout liner decision before placing the order. The configurator on the product page returns the exact panel price once all options are selected.
Which Version to Buy
This fabric is sold in 5 versions, with starting prices from $35.99 to $129.99 per panel. The table below is the short way to place yourself.
Same cloth throughout, so ignore the fabric line and choose on the heading and the mechanism instead.

| Day and night (this page) | n/a | 4.2 / 5 (1) | Filtered light and full privacy in one shade |
| Flat fold | n/a | 4.2 / 5 (1) | A clean, flat stack when raised |
| Front slat | $129.99 | 4.5 / 5 (1) | Crisp horizontal structure when raised |

Final Verdict
The Ron Linen Cotton Herringbone Day Night Roman Shade Cordless earns the 4.2 out of 5 for buyers who understand exactly what the $10 premium over single-layer Ron buys them: the dual-layer flex of alternating translucent and opaque in one window with cordless safety, on a natural-fiber-coded 45/55 cotton-linen herringbone night layer, in a 6-colorway range that runs from near-white Ice to charcoal Onyx. It is the wrong product if you arrive expecting baseline blackout, and it is the right product if you arrive understanding that the optional blackout liner add-on is the configuration that unlocks the sleep-room use case. Lock the liner decision before you click order, pick the colorway after evaluating the 39 Collections Booklets in your actual room light, and the Ron Day Night becomes one of the cleanest dual-layer roman shade picks at this price tier on Two Pages.
Final Verdict
Ron Day Night Roman Shade Cordless · 6 Colorways
from $109.99/panel
The dual-layer cordless pick for owners who want to flex translucent and opaque in one window without committing to blackout darkness. The $10 premium over single-layer Ron buys the flexibility, not the blackout. Add the optional blackout liner for true sleep rooms.
