Their black and white palette allows vivid tones to take center stage, while their striking contrast and diagonal orientation add drama to the room without overpowering the scene. Choose the back-slatted fold style: Lend the striking diagonal striped pattern of this roman shade a fitting stage with the clean profile of the back-slatted fold style. Its neat frontage, uninterrupted by slats, lends a continuous surface for the pattern to shine, likening it to a piece of wall art. Opt for curtains: If you’re dressing windows wider than 96 inches, try Slate Striations 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 Slate Striations is highly advisable. This will allow you to see the colors upclose, and check how the fabric feels to the touch.
