Why We’re Sew Into 'Colonial Air': Its classical tartan plaid print, defined by crisp lines and precise geometry, bringing a note of tailored elegance in every fold Bold strokes of brick red grounded by dark navy - a harmonious blend of vigor and depth Its top-quality poly weave that maintains the intensity of its colors over time, and lends pleats and folds a crisp precision HomeSewn Wisdom: Build on the masculine theme: Dress moody mancaves, industrial lofts, and Ralph Lauren-style homes with Colonial Air navy blue check roman shades. Their dark hues and sharp-edged plaids anchor the space in a distinctly masculine spirit, pairing effortlessly with exposed brick, heavy metal, and raw wood, completing the decor's rugged allure. Rethink front-slatted fold style: Invest forethought in the fold style decision with these check roman shades. The front-slatted style features raised slat lines that will compete with the horizontal lines of the pattern, likely muddling up their flow. We recommend the back-slatted and European relaxed styles, whose slatless frontage allows the pattern to flow uninterrupted, leaving no room for visual chaos. Opt for curtains: If you’re dressing windows wider than 96 inches, try Colonial Air 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 Colonial Air 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 Colonial Air 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.
