Why We’re Sew Into 'Kimberly': Its abstract pattern that adds a hint of vibrancy and movement The versatility of its neutral-toned palette that makes a quiet statement of its own Its transparent weave that allows daylight in while guarding your privacy Break away from the stereotypical white sheer by welcoming a tinge of color. A mild dose of understated brown in a nebulous abstract print accentuates the visual delicacy of this fabric and lends a contemporary feel to the space. Make a bare patio door cozy with this translucent dressing or use as a privacy layer in a bedroom paired with solid pale brown opaque drapery. HomeSewn Wisdom: Select a suitable fold style: Since sheer roman shades are typically chosen for their airiness and transparency, picking a fold style that necessitates lining is counterintuitive. So, avoid the back-slatted style that cannot be constructed without lining on the back, if you don't want to sacrifice any of your sheer blind's translucence. Pair with blackout drapes: Overtreat 'Kimberly' sheer roman blinds with blackout drapes to provide more options for light control and privacy in bedrooms and nurseries. You can also use this opportunity to mix colors, textures and patterns for more visual interest. Opt for curtains: If you’re dressing windows wider than 96 inches, try Kimberly 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 Kimberly 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 Kimberly fabric by the yard to create any matching fabric accessory of your choice.
