Their muted tones soften the space and offer a quiet canvas where compelling tones can stand out without overwhelming the eye. Elongate low ceiling rooms: Add optical height to short windows and low-ceiling rooms by dressing the windows with these striped roman shades. Their linear pattern directs the eye toward the ceiling, making the window and the room appear to be taller. Accentuate this illusory effect by outside-mounting the shade and extending it by a few inches on all sides. This generously-sized shade will mask the smallness of the window as well as contain light leaks at the edges. Opt for curtains: If you’re dressing windows wider than 96 inches, try Basic Khaki 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 Basic Khaki 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 Basic Khaki 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.
