Why We’re Sew Into 'Mount Esja': Its petite check pattern that appears gently from beneath the haze of its plush nap Its layered palette of greens, browns, and grays, where subtlety reigns and contrast recedes Its velvet naps upon which colors deepen and lustre strikes an opulent note HomeSewn Wisdom: Incorporate vintage accents with modern overtones: Use Mount Esja velvet roman shades to introduce the cozy charm of plaids without leaning too traditional. Their minuscule check print, designed with subtle contrast and hazy contours, looks more like a texture fest than a refined pattern, perfect for interiors that prefer a quiet contemporary aesthetic. Cancel light leaks by mounting the shade outside: When you desire efficient light-blocking, mount the shade outside the window and let it extend a few inches beyond the window/recess on all sides. This additional coverage contains light bleed around the shade's silhouette and also creates the illusion of a larger window. Opt for curtains: If you’re dressing windows wider than 96 inches, try Mount Esja 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 Mount Esja 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 Mount Esja 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.
