We recommend the back-slatted style instead, whose slatless frontage allows the pattern to flow uninterrupted, leaving no room for visual chaos. Tie together the masculine theme: Use these dark plaid roman shades to anchor rugged, masculine spaces. Whether it be moody mancaves, industrial lofts, or teen boys' rumpus rooms, their inky checks go readily with the grit of exposed brick, heavy metal and raw wood. And the soft folds, which smooth the motif's sharp edges, also offer a sense of warmth and cosiness to the entire room. Opt for curtains: If you’re dressing windows wider than 96 inches, try Grey Shadow 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 Grey Shadow is highly advisable. This will allow you to see the colors upclose, and check how the fabric feels to the touch.
