Why We’re Sew Into 'Avanza': Its pale grey that can blend with most palettes and decor styles Its herringbone texture that adds detail and visual depth Its crease-resistant fabric base that offers impeccable elegance with minimum upkeep Featuring the classic herringbone weave, this self-patterned fabric might interest fans of monochrome on a richly texture base. The soft beige, gray and white tones produce a calming effect and backdrop dark and bold-hued elements of your home very well. Lacking prints, this drapery fabric is ideal for styles that create designs through the construct such as pinch pleat drapes, relaxed roman shades, and front-slatted roman shades. HomeSewn Wisdom: Opt for the front-slatted fold style: Choose the front-slatted plain fold style that can offer a 'pattern' of horizontal stripes to the roman blind with its perceptible slat lines. This feature of a ribbed frontage will compensate subtly and beautifully for the lack of pattern on the fabric itself. Take advantage of the quiet palette: Put the serenity of 'Avanza' soft grey to the best use in bedrooms, nurseries and study spaces that benefit from an uncluttered calm ambience. Opt for curtains: If you’re dressing windows wider than 96 inches, try Avanza 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 Avanza 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 Avanza fabric by the yard to create any matching fabric accessory of your choice.
