Why We’re Sew Into 'Running Fields': Its soft, neutral beige that can blend with several color palettes Its slubbed texture that adds a pinch of visual interest without detracting from the minimalist appeal Its linen-cotton blend base and sheer weave that ensures airiness in the space One of our most elegant sheers. Part of our Somera collection, this deep beige fabric carries all the cool of a fine linen with the easy wearability of a lightweight sheer. Mix and match it with one of the heavier linens. Or use it as is. This classic lightweight fabric has a beautiful hang and drape which is sure to dress up any window in your home beautifully. HomeSewn Wisdom: Select the fold style thoughtfully: Avoid the back-slatted flat fold style as it necessitates the use of a lining, cancelling the transparency of the face fabric. However, if you are willing to part with the aspect of transparency, any fold style can be selected. Refer to our Style Guide for more information. Pair with blackout drapes: Overtreat these sheer window shades with blackout drapes to provide more options for light control and privacy in bedrooms and nurseries. You can also use this opportunity to mix colors and patterns for more visual interest. Opt for curtains: If you’re dressing windows wider than 96 inches, try Running Fields 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 Running Fields 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 Running Fields fabric by the yard to create any matching fabric accessory of your choice. The Nitty-Gritty (Made Pretty): Our roman shades arrive with all necessary hardware, so you can skip that last-minute store dash. 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.
