Why We’re Sew Into 'Maple': Its neutral grey-off white palette that offers a contemporary twist to a classical pattern The pared-back version of damask that gives it a modernised appeal Its silken lustre that is fitting for a formal space If you like old fashioned charm in your rooms, take a look at this lovely embossed and self patterned jacquard pattern in ivory and black as a drapery option. It features a classic foliage motif that looks all the more striking with its thin black edged look. To bring out the true magnificence of this fabric in your drapes, do consider getting it readied in pinched pleat type curtains. HomeSewn Wisdom: Add blackout lining: Consider adding blackout lining to your roman blinds for room darkening in bedrooms, nurseries and media rooms. In addition to blocking light, these shades will also help muffle external noise and maintain the room's temperature. This enhanced insulative resistance against the outdoor environment makes such blackout blinds a fitting choice for rooms that tend to get too hot or cold during extreme weather conditions. Select the back-slatted flat fold style: Make use of the uninterrupted canvas of the back-slatted fold style to showcase this patterned fabric like a piece of wall art. Since this style does not feature its slat lines on the frontage of the roman blind, the pattern can be presented without any visual distortion, making its gorgeous motif the star of the show. Opt for curtains: If you’re dressing windows wider than 96 inches, try Maple 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 Maple 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 Maple fabric by the yard to create any matching fabric accessory of your choice.
