Why We’re Sew Into 'Chasing Shadows': Its elegant mix of slender stripes, blending geometry, simplicity, and timeless beauty Its soft palette of pink and rouge, contrasted with a touch of olive brown Its plush velvet nap that offers a glam appeal with rich texture, deep color and gentle sheen HomeSewn Wisdom: Maximize insulation in bedrooms: Fortify Chasing Shadows velvet shade with blackout lining and mount it outside the window, extending its coverage by a few inches on all sides. The blackout lining ensures a sleep-friendly atmosphere by blocking light, muffling noise, and insulating against cold drafts, while the generous coverage curbs light leaks around the shade's edges. Pair with soft-edged motifs: Incorporate curvy motifs into your decor when styling a space with these striped roman shades. Pair with florals, botanicals and paisleys to counterbalance the straight lines and create a balanced design where every motif complements the other. Opt for curtains: If you’re dressing windows wider than 96 inches, try Chasing Shadows 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 Chasing Shadows 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 Chasing Shadows 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.
