Striped Roman Shades – Add
Colored Accent to The Room
Striped and plaid Roman Shades look very attractive in many interiors, but they
can also ruin the entire room appearance, if not chosen properly. So be careful
when you select them, especially for the already existing interior.
When you purchase a new home with nothing or a very few items in it, you have plenty of space to express your taste and creativity in interior decorating.
Decide about color scheme and ornamental theme in the room and then choose
roman shades for the windows.

relaxed roman shades will be the best choice for you. They match almost
every interior style and let you see the most of the fabric ornament. They are
also good for fabrics with wide stripes or plaids.
Roman shades with many folds like Balloon or London roman shades don’t allow
you to see a beauty of fabric pattern. As for striped and plaid fabrics, they

well with other ornamental elements in the room. Yes, they can. You may
combine stripes with plaids, checks and even with floral motives. For
successfully doing it, you should only know some small secrets. You need to
pick your stripes in the same colors as the other ornament in the room. It
shouldn’t match exactly all the colors, it could be only one or two from the
same color scheme, but choose them as close to the existing ones as possible.
For example, if you already have in the room eye-catching rug, slipcover, or
bedspread with floral ornament, you can emphasize their beauty by hanging
striped roman shades that gently reflect their color scheme.
