Why We’re Sew Into 'Marsha': Its awning stripes, whose bold and symmetrical bands shape a clean-lined aesthetic that is as modern as it is timeless Its high-contrast combination of black and white that lends sharp definition and a modern feel Its plush-piled velvet base which evokes quiet, indulgent luxury with its gentle lustre and rich texture HomeSewn Wisdom: Add to modern minimalist settings: Use these black and white striped roman shades to anchor a minimalist space in its monochrome palette. The stark contrast and clean lines - free of swirls and twirls - air the clean, uncluttered aesthetic of modern homes, and add interest to the space while maintaining the modern flair. Mount outside to optically elongate the window: Accentuate this awning striped roman shade's ability to add illusive height to the window by mounting it outside the window frame/recess, and positioning it a few inches higher. The upward momentum of the striped pattern, together with the raised visual line of the shade, makes the eye gravitate upward and elongates the window optically with double efficiency. This comes with an added benefit for small windows, as the shade completely clears off the window, bringing in more light and air than it would with the shade blocking a portion of its pane. Opt for curtains: If you’re dressing windows wider than 96 inches, try Marsha 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 Marsha 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 Marsha 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.
