HomeSewn Wisdom: Add blackout lining: Prevent your silk roman blind from losing its color and sheen due to sun exposure by adding blackout lining behind it. Also note that this thick lining makes up for the delicacy of the fabric, proffering the blind with longevity, robustness and neat crisp folds. Choose the front-slatted fold style: Add visual interest to your roman blind by opting for the front-slatted style. The horizontal stripes offered by the raised slat lines work like a subtle pattern for a blind that otherwise could look too plain and uneventful. Opt for curtains: If you’re dressing windows wider than 96 inches, try Giselle 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 Giselle 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 Giselle fabric by the yard to create any matching fabric accessory of your choice.
