Happy Earth Day 2026!
As we mark this year's Earth Day, we're reflecting on the small but meaningful ways Centurion Roman Shade works toward a more sustainable future — for our designers, workrooms, and home sewing enthusiasts alike.
It starts with how our product ships. When you build a Roman shade with a Widget, there's no oversized metal frame traveling thousands of miles to reach you. Instead, you receive a compact, VHS-cassette-sized kit containing a streamlined set of lightweight components. Pair that with a small wood headrail, your chosen fabric, and a steel weight bar sourced locally — and you've already reduced your project's footprint significantly.
We won't claim the Widget is ecologically perfect, but the difference is real: fewer large components moving across the country (or the ocean) means less fuel, less packaging, and less waste.
And the benefits extend to your customers, too. Every Roman shade that blocks summer heat or buffers winter cold is a window doing more work — and an HVAC system doing a little less.
These may be small contributions in the grand scheme, but we believe they add up. Here's to building beautiful shades and a healthier planet.
