Why We’re Sew Into 'Ballerina': Its candy stripes that script a simple elegance with their symmetrical lines - all neat, slim and perfectly aligned Its soft gray and white palette that borrows the understated beauty of river stones Its fade-resistant base which allows colors to live long, untouched by the elements HomeSewn Wisdom: Add to Scandinavian decor: Ring in Scandinavian 'hygge' with the serene personality and lived-in texture of Ballerina gray striped roman shades. Their muted tones soften daylight, ground the space with a sky-like calm, and bring homespun charm. Pair them with white oak floors, woolen throws, and matte black accents, curating elegance with understated tones and minimal details, in true Nordic style. Add to low ceiling rooms: Use these striped roman shades to optically elongate low-ceiling rooms with their linear movement. Mount the shade outside the window and extend it a few inches on all sides, so their generous coverage, together with the upward momentum of the pattern, woos the eye towards the ceiling, and makes the room appear taller. Opt for curtains: If you’re dressing windows wider than 96 inches, try Ballerina 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 Ballerina 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 Ballerina fabric by the yard to create any matching fabric accessory of your choice.

We include cord lock anchors for child and pet safety, because style should never come at the cost of safety.
