HomeSewn Wisdom: Go for the front-slatted fold style: Elevate the visual appeal of your plain roman blind by opting for the front-slatted style that adds a pattern of horizontal stripes with its visible slat lines. Add blackout lining: Consider adding blackout lining to your roman blinds for room darkening in bedrooms, nurseries and media rooms. In addition to blocking light, these shades will also help muffle external noise and maintain the room's temperature. This enhanced insulative resistance against the outdoor environment makes such blackout blinds a fitting choice for rooms that tend to get too hot or cold during extreme weather conditions. Opt for curtains: If you’re dressing windows wider than 96 inches, try Spice Basin 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 Spice Basin 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 Spice Basin 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.
