Why We’re Sew Into 'Tuff Tree': Its classic check motif that balances order, movement and playful energy Caramel and brown intersect on a teal canvas, balancing energy with depth Its lush velvet nap where colors gleam gently and opulence lingers softly HomeSewn Wisdom: Pair with florals: Bring florals, botanicals and other curvy motifs to the pattern mix when dressing a room with Tuff Tree roman shades. The interplay of sharp lines against soft silhouettes creates a striking contrast, adds visual depth, and offers more layers for the eye to linger on with delight. Reconsider the front-slatted fold style: Spare a moment to check whether the front-slatted style is apt for these check roman shades. This is because the front slatted style features raised slatlines on the front, that can compete with the horizontal lines of the pattern, resulting in a slightly busy look. Instead, we recommend the back-slatted and European relaxed styles whose slatless frontage lets the pattern flow without interruption, leaving no chance for a visual chaos. Opt for curtains: If you’re dressing windows wider than 96 inches, try Tuff Tree 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 Tuff Tree 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 Tuff Tree 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.
