Crafted into draperies, it creates an aura of queenly grace that knows how to impress others with just a glance. HomeSewn Wisdom: Add blackout lining: Prevent your silk roman blind from losing its color and sheen due to sun exposure by adding blackout lining behind it. Also note that this thick lining makes up for the delicacy of the fabric, proffering the blind with longevity, robustness and neat crisp folds. Keep away from wet areas: Avoid silk roman shades in wet/ humid areas of the home like kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms. Because, silk absorbs moisture and retains water stains, making it difficult to maintain the glamorous sheen of silk. Opt for curtains: If you’re dressing windows wider than 96 inches, try Marine Lake 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 Marine Lake 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 Marine Lake fabric by the yard to create any matching fabric accessory of your choice.
