Why We’re Sew Into 'Scotch Desert': Its crisp windowpane check, turning simple lines into a playful dance of order and charm Brick red and warm white crossing paths on an olive green expanse, lending sharp angles a lighthearted edge Its top-quality poly weave that complements the geometric precision of the pattern with crisp pleats and tailored folds HomeSewn Wisdom: Bring the holiday mood: Bring festive warmth to your holiday home with Scotch Desert red & green plaid roman shades. Their nostalgic pattern sits right at home with Christmas greenery, crackling firesides, and twinkling lights. Choose front-slatted fold style after due consideration: We advise careful consideration when picking the fold style for this check roman shade. The front-slatted fold style features raised silhouettes of the slats on the shade's frontage, which can potentially compete with the horizontal lines of the fabric's print itself. For the pattern to shine through with full clarity, we recommend the back-slatted and European relaxed styles that do not feature slatlines on the front. Opt for curtains: If you’re dressing windows wider than 96 inches, try Scotch Desert 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 Scotch Desert 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 Scotch Desert 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.
