Why We’re Sew Into 'Afrodita': Its hand-blocked floral sprigs that blend whimsy with heritage in every stylized curve The cottagey charm of its textured beige, peppered with red and green accents Its top-quality poly base that gathers in structured pleats and folds, maintaining its polished look over time HomeSewn Wisdom: Choose a suitable fold style: When dressing windows with Afrodita roman shades, choose a fold style that preserves the integrity of the pattern. The back-slatted and European relaxed styles feature a clean frontage, free of slatlines, that offers an uninterrupted canvas for the pattern to flow with grace, unhindered by slats. Bring homespun charm to a country home: Let your country home bloom with the handcrafted charm of these block print floral roman shades. These stylized florals, a time-honored echo of oriental craftsmanship, beautifully mirror the artistry of countryside homes. They pair with weathered wood and stone floors of rustic country settings as easily as with the light-filled, simple rooms of modern country homes. Opt for curtains: If you’re dressing windows wider than 96 inches, try Afrodita curtains as a stylish alternative to roman shades. Drapery’s generous dimensions and flowy trails are particularly well suited to wider spans, creating a balanced and refined look. Start with a sample: Screens may lie; swatches don’t. Since colors in images can vary on different screens, ordering a sample of Afrodita is highly advisable. This will allow you to see the colors upclose, and check how the fabric feels to the touch. Complement with matching accessories: For a custom designer look, coordinate your roman shades with other textile accessories in the room. Order matching runners, table covers or cushion covers from us, or buy Afrodita fabric by the yard to create any matching fabric accessory of your choice. The Nitty-Gritty (Made Pretty): Our roman shades arrive with all necessary hardware, so you can skip that last-minute store dash. We include cord lock anchors for child and pet safety, because style should never come at the cost of safety. Each roman shade at Sewn is handcrafted by skilled artisans from India who pour care, precision and decades of experience into every stitch.
