Why We’re Sew Into 'Sutherland': Its candy stripes that script a simple elegance with their symmetrical lines - all neat, slim and perfectly aligned Its midnight blue and white palette that borrows moody depth from the seas Its fade-resistant base which allows colors to live long, untouched by the elements HomeSewn Wisdom: Build on the nautical theme: Anchor your home in nautical themes with Sutherland dark blue striped roman shades that throw back to sailors' shirts and oceanic hues. Pair them with weathered wood, rope accents, and woven textures to capture the timeless charm of seaside homes. Add to low ceiling rooms: Use these striped roman shades to optically elongate low-ceiling rooms with their linear movement. Mount the shade outside the window and extend it a few inches on all sides, so their generous coverage, together with the upward momentum of the pattern, woos the eye towards the ceiling, and makes the room appear taller. Opt for curtains: If you’re dressing windows wider than 96 inches, try Sutherland 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 Sutherland 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 Sutherland fabric by the yard to create any matching fabric accessory of your choice.

We include cord lock anchors for child and pet safety, because style should never come at the cost of safety.
