Why We’re Sew Into 'Mellow': The calming presence, timeless beauty and versatility of pearly white Its linen texture that brings a tactile allure and emphasizes casual charm Its transparency that ensures ample light while ensuring privacy Looking for privacy in the living room without compromising natural light? Or a second layer to complement your opaque dressings in a bedroom? Sheer curtains and roman shades in this off-white fabric offer a sophisticated and understated window dressing without compromising either privacy or light. The loose weave softens the light as it filters in, cutting off harsh glares from the screens and allowing free pass to fresh air. If ‘bright and airy’ is your design motto, this sheer covering is just what your windows need. HomeSewn Wisdom: Select the fold style thoughtfully: Choose a fold style that can be constructed without a lining so that you can make the most of the sheerness of the fabric. However, if you don't mind putting the transparency at stake, you can pick any fold style on offer. Refer to our Style Guide for more information. Layer with blackout curtains: Mount 'Mellow' blinds within the window and overtreat them with blackout curtains mounted outside the window. Thus, you can provide for night time privacy and avail of versatile options for light control. Opt for curtains: If you’re dressing windows wider than 96 inches, try Mellow 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 Mellow 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 Mellow fabric by the yard to create any matching fabric accessory of your choice.
