Or use as a standalone in non-private rooms to welcome diffused light. HomeSewn Wisdom: Build on a theme: Pair this brown wood-inspired roman blind with green accents to furnish the room with a forest theme. Select the fold style thoughtfully: Choose a fold style that can be constructed without a lining so that you can make the most of the sheerness of the fabric. However, if you don't mind putting the transparency of 'Gentile' blinds at stake, you can pick any fold style on offer. Refer to our Roman Blinds Style Guide for more information. Opt for curtains: If you’re dressing windows wider than 96 inches, try Gentile 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 Gentile 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 Gentile 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.
