Why We’re Sew Into 'Ripe Kiwi': Its sage olive hue that can add a touch of nature to the home Its velvet sheen that offers a vibrant quality to the understated green The opulent appeal of velvet that makes it apt for formal spaces Infusing the space with an unmistakable sense of luxury, this green velvet drapery fabric speaks a lot with too few words. With a viridescence borrowed from the deep forests and the buttery naps proffering a thousand versions of olive green, window treatments in this lovely fabric instantly cool the eye and the soul - both aesthetically and literally. The nature-inspired palette is refreshing while the dense composition and the soothing color tone serve to block excessive heat and light. HomeSewn Wisdom: Pair with real greens: Build further on the outdoorsy theme by adding potted plants and fresh flower bouquets to a room dressed with roman blinds in 'Ripe Kiwi'. Pick a decorative fold style: If your velvet roman blind is intended to fulfill an aesthetic purpose more than a functional one, consider the European relaxed fold style. Its scalloped bottom will give a nod to velvet's opulence and plush texture. Opt for curtains: If you’re dressing windows wider than 96 inches, try Ripe Kiwi 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 Ripe Kiwi 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 Ripe Kiwi 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.
