Why We’re Sew Into 'Emily': Its equestrian themed pattern whose fine detailing evokes the spirit of folk art with a playful edge Its high-contrast combination of black and white that lends sharp definition and a modern feel Its plush-piled velvet base which evokes quiet, indulgent luxury with its gentle lustre and rich texture HomeSewn Wisdom: Balance a vibrant room: Harness the neutrality of Emily black and white abstract print roman shades to counterbalance the visual energy of bold colors. Their black and white palette allows vivid tones to take center stage, while their striking contrast and graphic pattern add drama to the room without overpowering the scene. Choose the back-slatted fold style: Lend the striking pattern of this roman shade a fitting stage with the clean profile of the back-slatted fold style. Its neat frontage, uninterrupted by slats, lends a continuous surface for the pattern to shine, likening it to a piece of wall art. Opt for curtains: If you’re dressing windows wider than 96 inches, try Emily 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 Emily 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 Emily fabric by the yard to create any matching fabric accessory of your choice.
