Walk any big-box Roman shade aisle and the corded polyester segment caps out at 5 solid colors on a 36-inch stock width. The face fabric is synthetic and the afternoon light tells on it immediately, reading “rental upgrade” from across the room.
Liz Linen Window Roman Shades land in a different bracket. 29+ live shades, a slub linen-blend face, custom widths from 18 to 71 inches, and a base of $59.99/panel that climbs predictably with size. For the bigger picture on how Roman shades sit next to drapery on the same fabric body, see our complete linen window guide.

Quick Verdict
Liz Linen Roman Shades hold the widest linen-aesthetic color range in the corded Roman shade segment, with custom sizing to 71 inches wide and hardware in the order box. The honest no-go: at ~90 gsm this is light room-darkening, not blackout, and the corded loop variant rules it out for households committed to fully cordless safety.
Quick Verdict
4.3 / 5
Widest linen-look color range in the corded Roman shade category, fully custom 18-71" wide, hardware and Safety Buckle in the box. Held back by the light-only room-darkening level (no true blackout option) and the made-to-order final-sale policy.

The rest of this review walks through real configurator pricing, the rooms where Liz Roman earns its keep, the mount and cord mechanism, the full spec sheet, and what owners report once the shade is on the wall. Pricing first, because on Roman shades the size and mount choices drive the cart more than anything else.
Pricing by Configuration (Real Cart Simulation)
Two things to set straight before we get into numbers. The $59.99 base applies to the smallest sizes, and the configurator scales linearly from there as width and length climb. The other lever is mount type, which is price-neutral at Two Pages: inside and outside mount cost the same on the same dimensions.

Sounds technical. Here’s why you care: a kitchen with three matching above-counter windows at 36" × 60" lands around $465 for the trio with the JULY discount, freight included once the cart clears $300. That’s a different math than three off-the-shelf 36-inch stock shades in 5 colors at $80 each.

Color Range: 29+ Options on a Small Window
Color reads differently on a Roman shade than on a full drape panel. The surface area is smaller, the eye catches the fabric in shorter glances, and the kitchen lighting around it (usually a warm-LED can layered with daylight) shifts the tone half a notch from what you see on a swatch under store light.

Order free swatches: the slub reads very differently on a small Roman shade than on a full drape panel. Kitchen lighting (often LED warm) shifts perception by half a tone.
The catalog data confirms what owner photos suggest: Sand Beige (1908-3) is the bestseller because it stays neutral across light conditions, Snow White is the safe pick for north-facing rooms, and the warm-leaning Burlywood Birch (1908-5) and Tapioca are the ones that read most “linen” on small windows where the slub texture has to do all the visual work.
Use Case Fit: Where Liz Roman Earns Its Place
The natural habitat is kitchens, baths, laundry rooms and mudrooms, where the window is too narrow or too short for drapery and where the 18-71 inch custom range outshoots every stock alternative. If you want the slub linen look behind a kitchen sink without a $400 drapery hardware run, this is the configurable shade that matches the brief.
It also covers mudroom and powder-room windows that need daytime privacy without going dark, plus the smaller bedroom side-windows where a full drape would over-dress the wall.
Liz Linen Drape Pleated Review: Same Fabric, Different Format
If you need full-window coverage, the Liz Drape Pleated runs the same slub blend at 350 gsm in 9 header styles. Our deep-dive on when to pick drapery over Roman shades on the same Liz body.
Now, where Liz Roman is the wrong call. Nurseries and south-facing bedrooms need true blackout, which this 90 gsm body does not deliver. Picture windows wider than 71 inches exceed the max custom width: you either run two shades meeting in the middle or move to drapery on a center-meet rod. And if a fully cordless lift is a hard requirement (homes with young kids, the safest default), this exact SKU is the corded loop variant only.
✅ Choose Liz Roman If
- You want the slub linen aesthetic on a small to mid window (kitchen, bath, laundry)
- You need 18-71" custom width, not a stock 36"
- You want light room-darkening (not blackout) at a sub-$200 ticket for most windows
- You can install yourself or hire 15 min of handyman time per shade
⛔ Skip Liz Roman If
- You need true blackout for a nursery or south-facing bedroom (this is 90 gsm, light filtering)
- You want cordless safety (only the corded loop variant is in stock; consider another Two Pages cordless line)
- Your window is wider than 71" (specify two shades or look at drapery)
- You can’t commit to made-to-order final-sale (swatches refundable separately)
Mount & Lift Mechanism: Inside vs Outside, Cord Safety
Mount choice does the bulk of the aesthetic work on a Roman shade. Inside mount sits the shade inside the window frame for a tailored, recessed look, provided the frame offers at least 1 5/8 inches of depth for the aluminum headrail. Outside mount hangs above and around the frame, blocks more light at the edges, and visually makes the window read taller, which matters in galley kitchens with short windows.
🪟 Mount & Lift
Two mount options, one corded lift, default 3-fold
Inside Mount
Fits inside the window frame. Cleanest look, requires at least 1 5/8" of depth for the headrail. Measure exact window frame width (no deduction).
Outside Mount
Fits above and around the frame. Maximizes light blocking at edges. Add at least 2" on each side beyond the window opening.
Loop Cord Lift
Continuous pull cord on the side (left or right at order). Hardware + Safety Buckle ship in every order: the buckle anchors the cord against pull tension for child safety.
Fold Count
Default: 3 folds for shades under 34" in length. Longer shades scale up automatically. Custom fold requests via support@twopagescurtains.com before order.
Real talk on the corded loop. The continuous-loop lift is the most common mechanism on the market and the easiest to operate, but it lives under tension and is the design that US CPSC corded window covering guidance flags for homes with young children unless properly anchored. Two Pages ships the Safety Buckle in every box: it screws into the wall below the cord loop and keeps the cord under tension, out of reach when raised. Skipping the buckle is the known hazard. Installing it is non-negotiable in any home with kids or pets.
Specs Deep-Dive: 90 gsm Slub, Aluminum Headrail, OEKO-TEX Ecosystem
The fabric body is 90% polyester and 10% linen, woven so the linen fibers ride on the surface and create the slub texture your eye reads as “linen.” Composition sits inside the same OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certification ecosystem Two Pages uses across the Liz line, meaning the fabric is tested for harmful substances at the yarn level.
Liz Linen Composition: The Full 10% Truth
Why Two Pages labels Liz as “Linen” at 10% linen / 90% polyester, what the slub texture is actually doing, and the 100% linen Roman shade alternatives in the catalog.
Hardware is the part most reviews skip. The 1 5/8" × 1 1/8" aluminum headrail is detachable for cleaning, the bracket measures 1 1/4" × 1 3/4", and the trim border that frames the bottom edge of the shade is 2 1/4 inches wide. Fold count defaults to 3 under 34 inches of length and scales up automatically beyond that.
The care path is straightforward: detach the headrail and the aluminum rod from the fabric body before washing, iron at low temperature, level the assembly before reinstalling. Returns are the friction point. Each shade is cut and stitched to your exact size, which makes the order final sale once shipped. The clean workflow is to order fabric swatches first ($8.99 shipping, refundable) and verify color in your actual room light before committing.
⚠️ Two things to set up before configuring
Measure first, mount choice second. Inside mount: measure the exact width inside the window frame at three heights (top, middle, bottom), use the smallest. Outside mount: add at least 2 inches on each side beyond the opening for proper light coverage.
Anchor the Safety Buckle. The corded loop variant requires the buckle screwed to the wall below the cord loop. The kit ships in every order; skipping it leaves the cord under tension and creates a known hazard for households with kids or pets.
What Buyers Actually Say
The catalog-wide reputation comes from Trustpilot 4.5/5 across 5,000+ Two Pages reviews and the consistent set of themes across Liz line product pages. On the praise side, the recurring beats are the color accuracy versus swatch, the thickness of the slub fabric versus expectation (“better than I thought for the price”), and the hardware quality (the aluminum headrail and the metal brackets are described as a step above the plastic mechanisms on stock-shade competitors).

On the criticism side, three themes recur. The “not blackout” reality trips up buyers who ordered for a bedroom expecting darker performance: this is light room-darkening, period. The corded-only configuration on this SKU disappoints owners who wanted cordless: Two Pages does sell cordless Roman shade lines, but they sit on a different product page. And the final-sale anxiety is real for first-time custom buyers, which is exactly why the swatch workflow matters.
FAQ
Is the Liz Linen Roman Shade actually linen?
The fabric is 90% polyester and 10% linen. It is labeled “Linen” by Two Pages because the visible slub texture comes from the 10% linen content woven into the polyester base. If you need 100% real linen fiber, this is not it. If you want the slub linen look with reduced wrinkle and lower care load, this delivers. Our Liz Linen 10% Truth analysis covers the composition tradeoff in depth.
Does this Roman shade block out light?
No. At roughly 90 gsm the fabric is light room-darkening, not blackout. Daytime privacy is solid (the Ivory White owner photo shows this clearly), but a south-facing bedroom at 6 a.m. will still receive filtered light. For true blackout in a Roman shade format, look at the heavier Two Pages blackout Roman lines or pair this shade with a blackout liner panel.
What is the maximum width?
71 inches. For windows wider than 71", configure two shades side by side, or consider a Roman shade alternative built for wider spans, or switch to drapery on a center-meet rod.
Is the cord lift safe for kids?
The shade ships with a Safety Buckle, which anchors the cord loop against the wall so it stays under tension and out of reach when not in use. Two Pages includes the buckle and the install hardware in every order. The US CPSC corded window covering guidance recommends cordless designs for homes with young children; if you want truly cordless, this exact SKU isn’t it. Look at the cordless Two Pages Roman shade lines instead.
Inside mount or outside mount?
Inside mount looks cleaner (the shade sits inside the window frame) and is the default pick when the frame has at least 1 5/8" of depth. Outside mount sits above and around the frame, blocks more light at the edges, and is the choice when the window is shallow or when you want to make the window look taller. Hardware for both is in the order box.
Lead time and returns?
Made-to-order, typical lead time 2-3 weeks to ship. Because each shade is cut and stitched to your exact size, the order is final sale: no returns once shipped. Fabric swatches are refundable separately, so order the swatch first if any doubt on color.
Final Verdict
If it were my kitchen, my bath, or any window between 18 and 71 inches wide where I wanted the slub linen look without the price of full drapery, Liz Linen Window Roman Shades would be the corded pick: 29+ colors, fully custom sizing, real metal hardware in the box, Safety Buckle included, from $59.99/panel, 4.3/5 on balance. Skip it for a true-blackout bedroom (90 gsm doesn’t get there), for windows wider than 71 inches, and for households committed to fully cordless safety, where the Two Pages cordless Roman lines are the right next click instead.
Final Verdict
Liz Linen Roman Shades
from $59.99/panel
The widest linen-aesthetic color range in the corded Roman shade segment, custom to 71" wide, with hardware and Safety Buckle in the box. The strongest pick for kitchens, baths and laundry windows that want the Liz slub look without the price of full-window drapery.
