Why We’re Sew Into 'Almost Black': Its gentle double-toned ombre, where color slowly emerges from white in a seamless, flowing gradient Its white melting into midnight blue, like twilight dissolving in night's embrace Its colorfast poly base that prevents the endearing beauty of the color gradient from fading under the sun HomeSewn Wisdom: Style in European relaxed fold style: Dress these ombre roman shades in the European relaxed fold style to accentuate their painterly charm. This style features a gently curved silhouette that echoes the easy grace of the ombre's color gradient. Consider minimized look: When incorporating this ombre roman shade into your decor, consider what role you want it to play in your overall color story. Its playful color gradient will show in full only when the shade is folded down, revealing its lower half. If you anticipate leaving the shade folded up most often, note that it will appear predominantly plain white, so make sure that this white-led stacked look will still work with your room's palette and look. Opt for curtains: If you’re dressing windows wider than 96 inches, try Almost Black 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 Almost Black 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 Almost Black fabric by the yard to create any matching fabric accessory of your choice.
