HomeSewn Wisdom: Don't skip lining: Bright-colored cotton may gradually fade over time when continuously exposed to the hot sun. So, be sure to add lining behind your cotton roman blinds and protect them from sun damage. The lining will also help the shade form neat clean-lined folds, making them look more sumptuous and lush. Dress right with a suitable fold style: Honoring the ornate beauty of this exotic floral design, choose a detailed fold style such as the European relaxed style. Its cascading scalloped bottom edge and sumptuous gather will emphasize the classical flavor of the motif besides relaying the bespoke origins of your roman blinds candidly. Opt for curtains: If you’re dressing windows wider than 96 inches, try Cheriyal 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 Cheriyal 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 Cheriyal 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. Each roman shade at Sewn is handcrafted by skilled artisans from India who pour care, precision and decades of experience into every stitch.
