It’s a snowy day here in New Jersey today! Thought I’d take some time to work on my website and write this new blog :).

White roman shades (with or without ribbon trim) are very hot sellers and offer a classic and clean look that go with many styles. They work fantastic if you have some patterns in other parts of the room, like your rug, pillows and linens. You can tie in a color in the room, by adding some ribbon trim along the edges or keep the shades plain for a nice classic and simple look.

I offer a few different white fabrics on my website, so I wanted to explain the differences between them.

White Canvas (our most popular fabric), $20/yard

Most of the ribbon trim shades on this website are made with our own supplied white canvas. It’s our most popular fabric. It is $20/yard and I also have samples for sale. The weight is great for our roman shades. It has a slight texture to it and the color is a pure to soft white. It doesn’t have any blueish or yellowish tones. The base cloth is 100% cotton.

Works well for:

Roman Shades

Pillows

Curtains

Cushions

White Flax Linen, $20/yard

Our second most popular fabric is our White Flax Linen. The color is a pure-soft white and does not have any yellowish or blueish tones. It has a very nice texture to it and it is a cotton/linen blend. It’s a nice weight and comparable to the white cotton canvas, but has slightly. more texture to it than the canvas. It’s also $20/yard.

White Slub Linen, $20/yard

Very popular fabric, as well. Our White Slub Linen is similar to the flax linen but the color is slightly less pure, so more of an off white. The fabric has a bit more slub texture than the flax and canvas. It appears more like a heavier linen and works well for our roman shades. The linen blend makes it less likely to wrinkle than a 100% linen fabric. It’s $20/yard.

White Cotton Twill, $20/yard

Very nice pure-soft white fabric that works well for many projects, as well, including our shades. The weight is slightly lighter than our white canvas fabric and there is very little texture to this fabric. It’s more smooth than some of the others. It’s 100% cotton with no undertones.

James White, $48/yard

This is a gorgeous polyester/cotton blend with a very soft texture. It’s a pure-soft white color with no undertones. This fabric is similar to our white canvas but has a smoother texture and softer feel to it. This one is a bit more costly than some of our others above.

Off White Quartz Slub Linen, $48/yard

This gorgeous cotton-linen blend in a warm, neutral white is soft to the touch and has a rich weighty quality. The slightly nubbly weave has a natural slub texture giving it a beautifully organic character. It’s very similar to our White Slub Linen but is slightly lighter in weight and has a slightly looser weave. It’s a cotton/linen blend.

Harlow Linen Blend White, $48/yard

A nice option if you want a white linen blend for roman shades. Since this is a blend, it won’t wrinkle as much as a 100% linen. This is a pure white fabric. The weight is light and more airy than some of the other linen blends. The folds may not be as crisp using this fabric for our roman shades as some of the others above. It’s a poly/linen blend.

White Tuscany Linen, $48/yard

This is a crisp bright white linen. This fabric has a soft hand and a slightly textured slub—it is everything you want in a linen fabric. It’s a bit lighter weight so it may wrinkle a bit more than some of our others and may also make for looser folds in our shades.

Creamy White Linen Blend, $60/yard

This fabric is a hearty, washed cotton/linen blend in a creamy soft white color. This one is a bit heavier than some of the other linens above. It is a linen/cotton blend.
