Why We’re Sew Into 'Outland':
- The plain steel grey that offers the dreamy effect of an overcast sky
- Its subtle texture that lends a casual charm and visual depth to the understated hue
- Its poly-cotton composition that brings together cotton's breathability and polyester's colourfastness
Love the no-nonsense appeal of grey? Integrate your favorite hue to your home decor with window treatments in this moody steel gray fabric. Whether it’s the industrial vibe or the easily blendable neutrality that you’re looking for, grey fits the bill. Fusing both the goodness of natural material and sturdiness of man-made fiber, this cotton blend window dressing controls sun glare and heat efficiently. Our stylists recommend pinch pleat drapes and front slatted roman shades for this monochrome beauty.
HomeSewn Wisdom:
- Opt for the front-slatted fold style: Choose the front-slatted plain fold style that can offer a 'pattern' of horizontal stripes to the roman blind with its perceptible slat lines. This feature of a ribbed frontage will compensate subtly and beautifully for the lack of pattern on the fabric itself.
- Bring textural variety with velvet ribbon trims: Mixing varied textures makes your decor alluring without looking cluttered. Zhuzh up 'Outland' cotton roman blind with the gentle sheen and lush beauty of velvet ribbon trims on its lead edges or in an inset position to offer a visual enhancement without going overboard.
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.
- Screens may lie; swatches don’t. So ordering fabric samples before your final purchase is highly recommended.
- Each roman shade at Sewn is handcrafted by skilled artisans from India who pour care, precision and decades of experience into every stitch.
We recommend reading our Roman Shades Measurement Guide for detailed guidance, but to make your measuring tape a little friendlier, here are a few quick tips:
- When measuring for multiple windows, be sure to measure each one individually. Even if they ‘look’ identical, slight variations are common.
- For roman shades intended for mounting inside a window recess, please specify the exact, tight measurements of the recess. Our tailors make an industry-standard deduction of 10 mm from the width specified by clients, to ensure a precise fit and to keep the shade’s fabric from rubbing and fraying against any surfaces. We ask that clients do not make any such deductions themselves.
- For outside-mounted roman shades, please provide the exact finished dimensions you would like your shade to be. We do not make any adjustments or deductions to the measurements specified for an outside-mounted shade.
- Most fabric bolts come in standard widths of 54 inches. Therefore, roman shades measuring more than 48 inches will typically carry vertical seams to achieve the required width. The exact position of these joining seams is solely to our tailors’ discretion.
For detailed information, we recommend visiting our Shipping & Delivery page, though a summary of our processing timelines is below for quick reference.
Please note that due to the bespoke nature of our products, we are unable to provide exact dispatch dates for our orders. However, once your order shipment is collected by FedEx/ DHL, you will receive a dispatch notification email with tracking details to follow its journey home.
- Curtains, Roman Shades, Valances, Bed & Dining Linens: Most window treatments and dining/ bed linen orders are targeted for dispatch within three weeks of date of order, though we are able to ship out many orders ahead of schedule. We use DHL or FedEx with a typical transit time of 3-7 days.
- Curtains/ Roman Shades with Trims: Some window dressings with trims *may* take up to six weeks as many of our trimmings are sourced from Turkey & London, thereby adding to our processing timeline in some instances.
- Swatches & Fabrics by Yard: Fabric samples and fabrics bought by yard are typically delivered within 7-10 days of order.
- Accessories: We do *not* sell small accessories such as pillow covers, dining placemats, or tie backs standalone. These are sold and dispatched only as part of larger window treatment orders. Please see above for applicable timelines accordingly.
For detailed guidance, we recommend visiting our Returns & Cancellations page:
Of note:
- Since every product at Sewn is handstitched to bespoke specifications, our products are not eligible for returns, refunds, exchange or cancellations by default.
- Image colors can vary based on individual screen settings, so we highly recommend ordering fabric swatches before placing an order for window treatments. We do not accept returns or refunds based on feedback on color variation between site images and actual fabrics, especially if samples are not ordered in advance.
- Our roman shades include all necessary mounting hardware, but we rely on buyers to ensure compatibility of our hardware with their space. We do not accept returns based on hardware-compatibility related issues.
- For inside-mounted shades, we deduct 10mm from the width specified in the order to ensure a proper fit inside a window recess, as outlined in our Measurement Guide. Returns are not accepted on account of this industry-standard deduction on our part.
- On rare occasions, where we may have made a mistake, we do accept returns on a case-by-case basis, provided any discrepancy is communicated via email within five business days of delivery.
- In case of a cancellation, we issue a 100% refund only if the cancellation request is received before any work has started. If production has started, only the remaining value of the order after deducting costs incurred up to that point can be refunded. Once an order is ready, cancellations for refunds are no longer possible.
