Why We’re Sew Into 'Kaymakli': Its minuscule plaid print that slowly appears from between dense velvet pile Its muted palette that hides a subtle spark, with its warm embrace of earthy greens and a light kiss of red Velvet's refined charm, that blends plush tactility with soft radiance HomeSewn Wisdom: Lean into vintage charm with a modern twist: Contemporarize plaid for a modern home with Kaymakli roman shades. Keeping up the rustic romance of heritage motifs, yet paring down their scale and presence for a contemporary setting, these roman shades feel more timeless than timeworn. Pair them with neutral-toned stripes, natural textures, and earthy accents to carry forward the vintage-meets-modern theme. Layer with coordinated valances: Crown this roman shade with a matching valance for a touch of refinement. Although subtle, this little gesture goes a long way in elongating the room optically by extending the visual line closer to the ceiling. Opt for curtains: If you’re dressing windows wider than 96 inches, try Kaymakli 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 Kaymakli 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 Kaymakli 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.
