Sawyer Custom Striped Roman Shades

Bring pattern, structure, and practical light control to your windows with custom striped Roman shades made to fit your space.

The tailored stripe adds visual interest without the volume of full-length curtains, while the Roman construction raises into clean horizontal folds for a composed, architectural appearance. Each shade is made to your selected dimensions and can be configured with three lining options and four lift systems, allowing you to balance style, privacy, light control, and everyday convenience.

The face fabric is woven from 90% cotton and 10% linen at a weight of 240 g/m². Cotton gives the fabric a softer hand, while linen introduces subtle texture and natural variation. The result is a structured textile that feels warmer than a synthetic blind but remains visually cleaner than traditional drapery.

A Tailored Alternative to Curtains

Striped Roman shades combine the decorative character of fabric with the compact profile of a fitted window shade.

When lowered, the striped fabric introduces pattern and texture without covering the surrounding wall or floor. When raised, the shade gathers into a series of structured folds, leaving the window area visually open.

The linear pattern can help define the proportions of the window and add rhythm to otherwise neutral rooms. Because stripes are simpler than large-scale prints, they can coordinate with a wide range of materials and patterns, including painted cabinetry, natural wood, solid upholstery, checks, florals, woven rugs, and textured wall finishes.

These custom striped Roman shades work especially well in:

• Coastal and beach-inspired interiors
• Modern farmhouse and country-style homes
• Transitional rooms
• Cottage interiors
• Traditional spaces
• Contemporary rooms that need a softer textile element

Made to Your Window Measurements

Standard-size shades often leave uneven gaps, cover more trim than intended, or fail to align properly with the proportions of the window. This shade is made according to the width and height selected when ordering.

Choose an inside mount for a fitted appearance within the window recess, or an outside mount when you want to cover the window frame more fully or create the impression of a larger window.

Accurate measurements are essential for custom window treatments. Review the measuring instructions before ordering and confirm whether your selected dimensions should represent the window opening or the finished shade size.

Because every shade is made to order, verify all measurements, lining selections, mounting choices, and lift options before submitting the order.

Choose the Right Level of Light Control

The appearance and performance of a Roman shade depend heavily on its lining. Three lining options are available so the shade can be matched to the room rather than relying on one lining for every application.

Light-Filtering Lining

Light-filtering lining softens incoming daylight while maintaining a brighter interior.

This option is generally best for rooms where natural light is desirable and complete privacy or darkness is not the primary requirement, such as:

• Kitchens
• Breakfast areas
• Living rooms
• Dining rooms
• Home offices

The fabric and lining diffuse direct sunlight, but silhouettes or interior light may remain visible under certain nighttime conditions.

Privacy Lining

Privacy lining provides greater visual separation than the light-filtering option and reduces the amount of light passing through the shade.

It is a balanced choice for spaces that need more privacy without the darker effect of blackout lining, including:

• Street-facing living rooms
• Bathrooms where appropriate
• Guest rooms
• Home offices
• Dining rooms
• Bedrooms where complete darkness is unnecessary

Privacy lining is not intended to perform as full blackout lining.

Blackout Lining

Blackout lining is designed to block light from passing directly through the shade fabric and provide the highest level of privacy among the three options.

It is best suited to:

• Bedrooms
• Nurseries
• Media rooms
• Rooms affected by streetlights
• Spaces used by light-sensitive sleepers

A blackout-lined Roman shade should not be interpreted as a guarantee of a completely dark room. Light can still enter around the top, bottom, or sides of the shade, particularly with an inside mount. An outside mount with additional overlap generally provides better edge coverage.

Actual light control can also vary according to window direction, time of day, installation method, wall color, and the contrast of the selected stripe.

Four Lift Options

Select the operating system according to the window location, shade size, household needs, and preferred level of automation.

Cordless Lift

The shade is raised or lowered manually without a hanging operating cord.

Cordless operation creates a clean appearance and is the recommended manual option for frequently used windows. It is also the more appropriate choice for homes where accessible cords are a concern.

Corded Lift

The corded system provides traditional manual operation.

This option should be selected only where suitable and must be installed and operated according to the supplied safety instructions. For homes with young children, cordless or motorized options are the more appropriate choices.

Motorized Lift With Remote Control

The remote-control motorized option allows the shade to be adjusted using a compatible handheld remote.

It is useful for:

• Tall or difficult-to-reach windows
• Wide shades
• Multiple shades in the same room
• Bedrooms and media rooms
• Customers who prefer push-button operation

Remote range, channel capacity, charging method, and included accessories depend on the selected motor configuration.

Smart-App Motorized Lift

The smart motorized option allows compatible shade functions to be controlled through the supported mobile application.

Depending on the selected motor and accessories, app-based operation may support individual shade control, grouped control, positioning, or schedules. Available functions, wireless connection requirements, and whether a hub or gateway is needed should be confirmed in the motor specification before ordering.

Compatibility with third-party voice assistants or smart-home platforms should not be assumed unless it is specifically listed for the selected motor.

Cotton-Linen Face Fabric

The striped face fabric is made from:

• 90% cotton
• 10% linen
• 240 g/m² fabric weight

The high cotton content gives the textile a softer, more familiar appearance, while the linen content creates mild surface variation and a less uniform finish than fully synthetic fabric.

At 240 g/m², the face fabric has enough body to support the visual structure of a Roman shade without being presented as a heavy upholstery textile.

Natural-fiber fabrics may display slight slubs, weave variation, creasing, or small differences between production batches. These characteristics are part of the cotton-linen textile rather than defects in the printed or woven surface.

Fabric color can also appear different according to room lighting, screen settings, surrounding wall colors, and the selected lining. Review a physical fabric sample before ordering when color matching is important.

Why Choose These Striped Roman Shades?

Custom Proportions

The shade is made for the dimensions of your window rather than altered from a limited stock size.

Configurable Light Control

Three lining choices allow the same striped design to function differently in a bright kitchen, private living space, or darkened bedroom.

Flexible Operation

Four lift systems range from straightforward manual operation to remote and app-based motorization.

Natural-Fiber Texture

The cotton-linen face fabric adds textile depth and softness while retaining the tailored profile expected from a Roman shade.

Versatile Pattern

Stripes provide more visual character than a plain shade but are generally easier to coordinate than complex botanical or geometric prints.

Recommended Rooms

Kitchen

Use a light-filtering or privacy-lined striped Roman shade to soften the window area without introducing full-length fabric near counters or cabinetry.

Living Room

The striped design adds pattern and visual structure while preserving a more compact silhouette than curtains.

Bedroom

Select privacy or blackout lining according to the required level of darkness. Cordless or motorized operation offers a cleaner bedside configuration.

Dining Room

The cotton-linen texture can soften hard surfaces such as dining tables, painted trim, flooring, and cabinetry.

Home Office

Choose light-filtering lining when reducing harsh daylight is more important than darkening the room. Motorization can be useful for windows positioned behind a desk or above furniture.

Nursery or Child’s Room

Choose a cordless or motorized lift. Do not select an accessible corded operating system for a room used by young children.

Inside Mount or Outside Mount?

Choose an Inside Mount When:

• The window recess has sufficient depth
• You want the trim to remain visible
• You prefer a fitted, integrated appearance
• Minor light gaps along the sides are acceptable

Choose an Outside Mount When:

• The recess is too shallow for an inside mount
• You want to cover the window trim
• You want the window to appear wider or taller
• Greater edge overlap and improved light coverage are priorities

For blackout applications, an outside mount extending beyond the window opening generally provides better perimeter coverage than an inside mount.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these striped Roman shades custom-made?

Yes. Each shade is produced according to the width, height, lining, mounting style, and lift system selected when ordering.

What is the fabric composition?

The face fabric is made from 90% cotton and 10% linen and weighs 240 g/m².

Which lining should I choose?

Choose light-filtering lining when you want softened daylight, privacy lining when you need greater visual separation, and blackout lining when reducing incoming light is the priority.

Will the blackout option make the room completely dark?

Blackout lining blocks light through the fabric, but light may still enter around the shade edges. Mounting method, window construction, and installation overlap all affect the final result.

Which lift option is best for a child’s room?

Cordless or motorized operation is the appropriate choice for rooms used by young children. Avoid an accessible corded lift in nurseries and children’s bedrooms.

What is the difference between remote motorization and smart-app motorization?

The remote-control version operates with a compatible handheld remote. The smart-app version adds control through the supported mobile application. Exact functions and accessory requirements depend on the selected motor.

Can one remote control multiple shades?

This depends on the remote and motor configuration. Confirm the number of supported channels and grouping functions before ordering.

Does the smart-app motor work with Alexa, Google Home, or Apple Home?

Compatibility depends on the selected motor, application, hub, and integration. Only advertise a specific platform when that compatibility has been verified for the exact motor being sold.

Should I choose an inside or outside mount?

Choose an inside mount for a fitted look within a sufficiently deep window recess. Choose an outside mount for greater frame coverage, more installation flexibility, or improved edge overlap.

Are natural variations in the fabric normal?

Yes. Cotton-linen fabrics can have subtle weave variation, slubs, creasing, and small differences in texture. These are normal characteristics of natural-fiber textiles.
