Why We’re Sew Into 'Mostassa': The ochre yellow hue that captures the resplendence of burnished gold The glamorous appeal of its iridescent beauty The true shine and oriental touch of pure shantung silk Pure silk in a resplendent golden, deep ochre color. A golden glow suffuses this exotic fabric that spreads into your space when used in draperies. Lustrous and lushly slubby, it enhances the feel of luxury in any interior. Its warm yet neutral color works well with several color palettes. HomeSewn Wisdom: Select an opulent fold style: If your silk blinds are fulfilling more of an aesthetic role than a functional one, consider getting them fabricated in the European / relaxed fold style. Imbibing the rippled contouring of drapery, roman blinds in the European / relaxed style feature scalloped bottoms and swag folds that aptly relay the luxurious taste of the decor style and bring out the best of the silken sheen of the fabric. Be sure to add lining and allow for sufficient width so your blinds form a deep, opulent swag. 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 Mostassa 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 Mostassa 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 Mostassa fabric by the yard to create any matching fabric accessory of your choice.
