Inspired by traditional plaid check, but brought up to date with its trend right palette of deep red, cream and slate grey. Woven on a rich, herringbone weave base, this is the fabric to bring glamour in an instant. HomeSewn Wisdom: Reconsider the front-slatted fold style: The visible slat lines of the front-slatted fold style form a subtle 'pattern' of horizontal lines on the frontage of a roman blind. When pitched against the horizontal lines of a checked fabric, the slat lines can vie for attention and create visual conflict. Therefore, we recommend careful consideration before picking the front slatted fold style for 'Mirage' fabric. Mix with curvy patterns: Contrast the straight lines of 'Mirage' roman blinds with the rounded silhouettes of floral and botanical prints in other room accessories to offer visual contrast. Opt for curtains: If you’re dressing windows wider than 96 inches, try Mirage 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 Mirage 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 Mirage 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. Each roman shade at Sewn is handcrafted by skilled artisans from India who pour care, precision and decades of experience into every stitch.
