HomeSewn Wisdom: Pick the back-slatted flat fold style: Pick the back-slatted fold style to present the pattern of this fabric in the best light. The quiet, uninterrupted frontage of back-slatted roman blinds, free of slat-lines and visual breaks of any kind, offers a flowy surface on which the botanical patterns can shine with integrity, free of visual distortion. Add blackout lining: Consider adding blackout lining to 'Stepping Stone' 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 Stepping Stone 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 Stepping Stone 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 Stepping Stone fabric by the yard to create any matching fabric accessory of your choice.
