Why We’re Sew Into 'Carrington': Its classic awning stripes, where bold geometry meets light-hearted charm Its sleek palette, where beige lends earthy elegance and white drifts with calm Its colorfast polyester weave, where colors maintain their integrity, unharmed by weather and wear HomeSewn Wisdom: Add to farmhouse settings: Dress bright and airy farmhouse-style homes with Carrington beige striped roman shades. Their unassuming beauty accentuates the style's simplicity and lived-in charm, pairing effortlessly with ginghams, woven textures, and raw wood details. Elongate low-ceiling rooms: Make a low-ceiling room feel taller by dressing its windows with these striped roman shades. The linear orientation of the stripes guides the eye upward, making the ceiling seem a lot higher than it is. Accentuate this illusory effect by mounting the shades outside the window and extending them a few inches on all sides. Opt for curtains: If you’re dressing windows wider than 96 inches, try Carrington 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 Carrington 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 Carrington 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.
