Why We’re Sew Into 'Grayton': Its Roman striped print, where sleek lines bring a contemporary aesthetic with a whisper of tradition Its versatile mix of gray, black and white, that can mingle with most palettes and decor settings Its top-quality poly base that maintains a refined look with its wrinkle-resistance HomeSewn Wisdom: Layer with florals and paisleys: Soften the straight lines of these striped roman shades by pairing them with curvy motifs such as florals, botanicals, and paisleys in other elements of your room. This well-considered mix of motifs creates a balanced look where patterns complement each other and bring depth to the design. Elongate low ceiling rooms: Cover up the flaw of a low-ceiling room by dressing its windows with these striped roman shades. The upward momentum of the pattern creates the illusion of height, making the window and the room appear to be taller. For best results, mount the shade outside the window and extend it a few inches beyond the window trim on all sides. Opt for curtains: If you’re dressing windows wider than 96 inches, try Grayton 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 Grayton 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 Grayton 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.
