Why We’re Sew Into 'Akumal': Its contemporized regency stripes, where heritage charm meets modern streamlined aesthetic Its understated beige, where coffee brown and white lend a gentle contrast Its premium poly base that folds and pleats neatly, making it perfect for all home decor projects HomeSewn Wisdom: Pair with curvy motifs: Add floral, botanicals, paisleys, and the like to the room's pattern mix to counterbalance the straight lines of Akumal striped roman shades. This contrast of shapes and designs makes the space look more detailed, layered, and attractive. Counterbalance vibrant tones: Incorporate these neutral-toned roman shades into colorful spaces to offset their vibrance. They lend a breathing space between bold, saturated tones, letting them stand out and preventing them from overpowering the scene. Opt for curtains: If you’re dressing windows wider than 96 inches, try Akumal 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 Akumal 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 Akumal 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.
