Why We’re Sew Into 'Thunderbird': Its slow rhythm of hazy chevrons - like mountains dissolving in shifting light - injecting a sense of movement into any room Its hushed palette of pale grays and earth brown accents Its luxurious velvet nap, which invites hues to deepen and patterns to soar HomeSewn Wisdom: Inject vibrance without overwhelming: Use Thunderbird roman shades in color-shy interiors where neutral tones reign and colors are surprises. Its vibrant accents bring life to the decor without taking over the scene or drifting too far from the palette. Opt for back-slatted fold style: Ensure uninterrupted flow of the pattern by styling these roman shades in the back-slatted fold style. Back-slatted shades do not have slatlines or hems on the front that could break up the pattern's continuity; instead, they offer a clean canvas on which the pattern can shine in all its integrity. Opt for curtains: If you’re dressing windows wider than 96 inches, try Thunderbird 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 Thunderbird 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 Thunderbird 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.
