Why We’re Sew Into 'Mineshaft': Awe-inspiring damask beauty in embroidered gold accents Quietness of a neutral palette of grey, brown and beige Poly-cotton's combination of sustainability and practicality If you like traditional motifs but want a look that jells well with a contemporary decor, Mineshaft is the drapery fabric you must give a second look. The base fabric is a full-bodied blend of cotton, polyester and viscose in gray. It has been given an oversized damask pattern in beige and brown. This fabric strikes the perfect balance between sobriety and lavishness. HomeSewn Wisdom: Dress right with a suitable fold style: Honouring the ornate beauty of the damask motifs, choose a detailed fold style such as the European relaxed style. Its cascading scalloped bottom edge and sumptuous gather will emphasize the classical flavour of the motif besides relaying the bespoke origins of your roman blinds candidly. Use trims as a finishing touch: Carry forward the elaborate adornment of the damask pattern and echo its accent tone by adding a sumptuous tassel trim or fringe trim to the bottom hem of your roman shade. Opt for curtains: If you’re dressing windows wider than 96 inches, try Mineshaft 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 Mineshaft 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 Mineshaft fabric by the yard to create any matching fabric accessory of your choice.

We include cord lock anchors for child and pet safety, because style should never come at the cost of safety.
